Welcome to our safari guide and advice section.

Here you will find a wealth of information about every aspect of visiting Africa’s game reserves and wilderness areas. We believe this is probably the most comprehensive guide to going on safari to be found anywhere on the internet!

Compiled by our experienced field guides, this section will help you to decide when to go, where to go, what to take, and what to expect. Whether you are planning your very first visit to Africa, or if you have been on safari many times before, there will be some useful tips and advice for everyone.

The Elephant Research Project

In the depths of the Okavango Delta, the Elephant Research Project at Seba Camp is working with the government of Botswana in the study of elephants and how best to manage them. Please visit their website for more details and to donate to their cause.

The Wilderness Foundation

Founded by Dr. Ian Player, a former Game Ranger of the Kwa-Zulu Natal Parks Board, The Wilderness Foundation seeks to conserve wildlife within South Africa's game reserves, and to protect and assist the local communities living in and around those areas.

The Lajuma Leopard Research Project

In the Soutpansberg Mountains in South Africa, biologist Ian Gaigher and his team at The Lajuma Research Centre are studying the local wild leopard populations and consulting local farmers about how best to manage these wild cats so that man, domestic animals and leopards can live peacefully side by side.
