With over twenty years of experience designing specialist adventure travel to Africa, Journeys by Design’s Classic Safari is no ordinary safari.
A long time ago we decided to focus on Africa and only Africa. The continent has an extraordinary range of geographies, histories, and cultures, all of which we can never fully experience, even after a lifetime of travel. Our journeys range from the Omotic landscapes of southern Ethiopia and the rainforests of Gabon to the short grass plains of the Serengeti and rolling valleys of the Maasai Mara. For avid wildlife seekers, journeys include the Okavango Delta and South Luangwa National Park, both offering high-density wildlife experiences found nowhere else on Earth.
All of which presents you with much to choose from. Making that choice requires real specialist knowledge, someone capable of understanding your family’s needs and wants. As one of the world’s leading super agents, we are exactly this. We have built a reputation for crafting complex and exceptional journeys for a range of discerning clients. Our ability to understand both the destination and the client, and then translate that understanding into a seamless journey, is what sets us apart. The fact that over 70% of our business is repeat or referred underscores the quality of our service.
That quality is guaranteed by the fact that we limit ourselves to designing just 70 Classic safaris a year. In doing so, we ensure that each journey is unique and offers you the opportunity to explore some of Africa’s greatest frontiers. At the same time, we are committed to ensuring that each and every safari is designed to support the destination’s cultures, wildlife and wildernesses.
In what is becoming an increasingly crowded travel world, this experience in providing safaris that mean something special – for the traveller, the host community, and the environment – is what makes the CLASSIC safari much more than just a safari.
