Wilderness Discoverer
Safaris, are a
luxurious range of African safari that take advantage of unique
locations, taking guests on a spectacular journeys through remote
wilderness areas to enjoy the most outstanding wildlife viewing in
Africa. Our itineraries provide superb encounters with the wildest, most
diverse, remote and scenic areas in each country.
The Discoverer safaris combine
permanent
safari camps with private, luxury mobile
camps that are pre-erected prior to guests' arrival. These camps
are always located in private areas, away from any crowds or public
areas, and in exclusive wildlife areas.
The Discoverer safaris use "meru-style"
tents for the mobile camp sites. The innovative design of these tents,
with their hexagonal shape, walk-in structure and en-suite
separate toilet and shower areas, allow for a sense of space,
unmatched views, and privacy. The tent interiors create a sense of
stepping back in time, 'Out-of-Africa'-style, with flowing
linens of heavy, pure cotton, full-sized beds, and "old brass"
finishes.
Paraffin hurricane lanterns and a
crackling campfire set the evening safari ambience. Fresh,
sumptuous meals are prepared around the fire by safari staff,
creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The dining area is under the
stars (a dining tent is always set up in case of rain), lending that
lovely "wilderness camping" feel to the night. A reference
library is also available for bedtime reading.
Our scheduled African
safaris feature frequent, scheduled departures, each accommodating small
groups of up to 8 guests only (guaranteed with a minimum of 2
guests),
thus ensuring a personalized experience. All safaris are
"non-participation" (meaning all cooking and camp work is
performed by the safari staff) with old-style 'Out-of-Africa' safari
comforts and amenities provided.
These safaris are
expertly guided and hosted throughout by an experienced and fully
trained professional guide, ensuring a seamless interpretation of a
diversity of African safari experiences. The guides are dedicated
and committed individuals who love what they do and seek to share their
knowledge and passion with their guests. The guide remains with
the group throughout the safari, ensuring that there is a consistent and
detailed interpretation tailored to your specific interests.
The special feeling of the
luxury mobile
camping combined with the nights in the permanent camps make the
Discoverer safaris the ultimate in private, luxury African tented lodge
safaris.
