Who We Are


A family business owned and managed by myself (Bruce) and my wife (Wilma), operating in the safari industry since 2003.

We're both passionate about conserving wildlife and making it possible for anyone to see and experience Africa on a potentially life changing safari of their own.

I've loved going on safari since my dad took me on my first trip to the Kruger National Park in South Africa as a young boy, more than forty years ago now.

Even the fact that a warthog tried to eat my toy car as I played with it in the sand at Skukuza rest camp didn't dampen my enthusiasm in the least.

Growing up in South Africa has allowed Wilma and I to go on over one hundred trips to Kruger and other safari areas across the African continent, and we're still enjoying every minute of it.

In 2018 we stayed in the park rest camps for a period of over three months with our children to experience what living in this iconic national park would be like.

It was a fantastic experience that we will remember and treasure for the rest of our lives and it also allowed us to increase our intimate knowleadge of the area, which in turn means we can help others better with their Kruger park trips.

Reasons to book your Kruger safari with us...

  • OUR GUARANTEE: YOU WON'T PAY A CENT MORE THAN IF YOU BOOKED THE TRIP YOURSELF DIRECTLY.
We never, I'll repeat that again...NEVER add markup to our booking tariffs.

So the price you pay us is exactly the price you would pay if you booked directly with Sanparks themselves. Test us on this - request a quote below and then compare it to the Sanparks rates, they will be identical.

So save yourself time and energy by not doing it on your own and get access to our expert knowledge and service for the same price. And of course, you also get the free data to use in any of the rest camps that you decide to stay at.

  • OUR SERVICE: WE ARE REGISTERED SANPARKS AGENTS AND HAVE BEEN SINCE 2006.
We have helped thousands of people with their Kruger National Park trips over the years and many keep coming back to us because of the standard of service they receive. We always try to go the extra mile to make sure everything is just right.

  • OUR KNOWLEDGE: WE HAVE VISITED THE KRUGER PARK REGULARLY OVER A SPAN OF MORE THAN 40 YEARS.
Wilma and I (Bruce) love the park so much that in 2018 we decided to move there for a short time to find out what it would be like. We home schooled our children and were blessed to be able to call the Kruger Park our home for over three months and had a fantastic time.

We know this national park like the back of our hands with expert level knowledge and years of experience to help you with your own trip.

I've also written a 248 page ebook called "Guide Your Own Safari" which helps anyone do a self drive safari in several South African reserves and parks including Kruger, Namibia and Swaziland.

I really enjoy wildlife photography and attempt to share what I've learnt since I took my first wildlife photograph more than 30 years ago in another ebook I authored called "Better Safari Photography".

So our hope is to apply the knowledge and experience gained over many years and countless hours of wildlife trips to make sure your experience is the best it can possibly be.

Fortunately not. Essentially, you get to make use of our travel agency services for free. So you would pay exactly the same amount to make use of our forty plus years of safari experience as you would if you managed and booked the whole trip yourself.

How is this possible?

Simply because the suppliers themselves (Sanparks, lodges, hotels, transfer companies etc) charge us a lower rate because we are travel agents, and we charge you the same rate as they would if you contacted them directly. So basically, the suppliers end up paying us to help you plan and organise your trip.

So we never add any markup, to make sure that if you book a safari through us, you get the best price possible and excellent service at the same time.

Yes, most places in Africa have a reasonable to good standard of tap water. It is possible to get bottled water on safari so if in doubt, rather go for that option.

Food in most safari lodges, hotels and B&B establishments are of a high quality. The better ones will also cater to specific dietary requirements. As a general rule, don't purchase food from vendors on the side of the road in Africa.
