For special interest trips, or for travelers who just wish to be accompanied by an expert, we also offer privately guided custom African safaris. To enhance their African safari, some guests request that we include the services of a naturalist, photographer or birder to guide and accompany their group for all or part of the African safari. The real benefit of this service is that the guide soon gets to know the group's interests and needs and can then tailor the experience to meet those requirements. The private guide can influence the experience at each camp and as the group moves from area to area.
