Dear Traveller,

Welcome to our 2017/18 brochure…due to the ongoing demand for safaris in East and Southern Africa, we have expanded our portfolio in these areas by offering new lodges and safaris for our discerning clients…all in one handy brochure.

For us, 2017 marks our 20th year of bringing African Safari holidays to the Australian traveller and now is the time for you to discover what Africa has to offer – it is affordable, it is safe and the experience will provide you with memories that will live on forever. Over the past 19 years, we have successfully sent thousands of clients on safari – presenting them with the magic of Africa! In 2013, and again in 2016, we had the honour of being awarded the prestigious title of “Best Niche Wholesaler/Best Specialty Wholesaler” in Australia, by AFTA and our trade partners – acknowledging our dedication and your assurance of excellence. In 2016, we were presented the Sutherland Shire Local Business Award for Outstanding Holiday & Travel and Business of the Year.

Best Specialty Wholesaler

FINALIST 2014

To run a successful business, you need to ensure that you have the knowledge and expertise to service your clients effectively, and Africa is a destination that requires first hand experience and local knowledge to sell correctly. We are a specialist in our field — the consultants at The Africa Safari Co. pride themselves on the fact that they have travelled extensively throughout Africa, and with this experience, we can give you correct information on the areas to be visited and the accommodation required. We sell our products with pride in the knowledge that each property has been sited, and is approved by us as offering value for money with a level of service and quality that can be guaranteed.

You can book your holiday with confidence and rest assured that your holiday money is in good hands, as The Africa Safari Co. is a member of ATAS (The AFTA Travel Accreditation Scheme) and CATO (Council of Australian Tour Operators). Due to fluctuating exchange rates, we ask you to use the prices listed in this brochure as a guideline only and consult one of our experienced staff for up to date information and pricing. We look forward to seeing you on safari in 2017!

~ Susie Potter, CEO

We tend to mainly use small, exclusive lodges and tented camps to ensure that our clients experience the untouched and more remote areas of Africa. We have a variety of safari options that can be mixed and matched to produce a safari holiday that suits your individual requirements. Perhaps you are interested in a self-drive holiday, a budget overland safari or maybe a deluxe lodge safari—including luxurious accommodation and unlimited game viewing opportunities—The Africa Safari Co. will help you design your perfect safari holiday…the holiday of a lifetime!

2016

Types of Safaris on offer… Participation Camping Safaris:

Hotels: Suitable for the adventurous and those who like to get back to nature and rough it a bit! Participation safaris normally have set departure dates and group numbers vary from 6–20 passengers. Accommodation usually consists of 3 person dome tents with mosquito fly netting, sleeping mats and a sleeping bag (which you will be required to bring). You are expected to help with the camp chores from setting up & dismantling the camp, preparing and cooking meals and cleaning up. Some participation camping safaris have age limits.

We offer some of the best hotels in Africa. We have thoroughly researched each area to ensure we offer hotels in the best locations. 3 star to 5 star, with all the facilities and services expected by an international traveller. We normally only use hotels in large cities and on our coach tours through South Africa.

Lodges:

Luxury Camping Safaris:

 ur lodges range from intimate 5 star properties O that accommodate a maximum of 8 guests, to large international lodges accommodating 100 guests or more. We try to utilise the smaller properties, where suitable, to give our clients the most personalised service and quality safari that their budget will allow. Some of our 5 star lodges have private plunge pools, butler service and offer a safari holiday like no other.

These safaris differ from participation camping in that you sit back and let us do all the work—while still having the opportunity to get back to nature—as close as possible. Accommodation normally consists of very large tents, set up prior to your arrival in to camp. They have proper beds with sheets and blankets, en suite bathrooms, running water and everything the discerning client would wish. On arrival into camp, sit back and relax with drink in hand while your chef and camp staff look after your every need. Maximum number of guests on these safaris is normally 6–8.

Family Safaris:

Permanent Tented Camp: T hese are luxurious hotel rooms under canvas. They range from 3 star to 5 star—some even have private plunge pools. They are normally located in the best wildlife areas and offer exclusive comfort and relaxation whilst getting close and personal with nature. You can still hear and smell Africa through the canvas walls—but at the same time, you have the luxury of en suite bathrooms and all the facilities of a hotel room.

Family Safaris are a major strength for The Africa Safari Co. We have staff that have travelled extensively throughout Africa with their children—some of our littlies started travelling to Africa at 6 months. We have tried and tested many game lodges, hotels, resorts and camps in Africa. We can recommend properties to families that are “Family Friendly” and not just properties that will tolerate children. Some of these lodges, camps and hotels offer special children’s programs, special meals and meal times, baby sitting services, play rooms and plenty of activities to keep the children busy while parents can take a break and enjoy their holiday. If you will be travelling with children, look out for this symbol — it denotes properties that are child friendly and have special programs and facilities.
