A safari should be the realisation of a dream. An African dream. As such it needs to be planned carefully and with great attention to detail. Of course, one can book directly with airlines and lodges, but without intimate local knowledge this way of booking a safari is the equivalent of closing one's eyes and sticking pins in a map.

This is where Blixen's Africa comes in. With so many year's experience in Africa we can point out pitfalls you may not have been aware of and plan your safari so you lose as little time as possible waiting in airports or marking time in city hotels when you'd rather be out in the bush. For instance, South Africa requires that you have at least two blank pages in your passport before they will issue you with a visa - not something you want to find out when you're trying to book in at an airport with your luggage piled high around you.

 
 
    Also, credit cards are widely accepted in South Africa but almost useless in East Africa. Many people have planned safaris in Botswana only to discover that their fear of flying in small planes completely ruins their holiday because the only way to travel between camps in Botswana is by air. These are just a small number of the kind of details that are so important to be aware of when planning a safari.

So, if you want to make the most of your dream, call us and we will ensure it doesn't turn into a nightmare - because an African safari should indeed be the experience of a lifetime.
