The program
Six days, three hotels, one rate

Big Five & Two Oceans
A palace in the bushveld, lions in a volcano, penguins on a beach, and the place two oceans finally meet.
Ground Handling, known differently
A tour operator's week is decided long before the guests arrive — by who is driving, how long he has been awake, which direction the coach can legally take a mountain pass, and whether anyone has said out loud that the cableway closes for wind. That is the work. It is not glamorous and it is the whole difference.
Planned to the hour
Every day set out stop by stop, with the reasoning written down beside it — including where we would run your brief differently, and why.
Priced in the open
One net rate across five departures, with the hotel cost broken out month by month and your own margin shown beside ours.
Run by people who live here
Registered guides, from the arrivals hall to the check-in desk. A written note back to you after every departure.
Built from a lifetime of paying attention.
Thirty years guiding across Southern Africa. Three hundred safari camps. Six thousand days on the road. That is not a credential, it is the reason we know that your day two cannot be done with one driver, and that Chapman's Peak only runs one way for a coach.

Journeys with their own rhythm and character
Anything in the programme you would like changed, tell me and it is changed. The rates are working figures until the Palace is contracted, and I would rather agree them with you than send them to you.
