THE SAFARI TRAVEL SHOP is a 'personal shopper' version of a traditional travel agent. We don't just sell and send you on a trip, we design and create to your personal requirements. We have lived in or explored most sub-Saharan countries, and it is this experience that we offer to you.
Lesley has been designing and arranging safaris for over 32 years. If you are a lone traveller, or wish to travel with a group, if you have a small budget or a big one, Lesley can arrange interesting travels from one-day to multi-day across borders safaris.
Ian has worked in wildlife management for more than 40 years. It is this combined understanding of Africa, its flora and fauna, people and cultures, that we are able to discuss and tailor-make a special trip for you.
Day excursions from Howick include lunches and picnics in the beautiful Midlands of Natal, excursions on a lovely old Steam Train, nearby festivals, events and exhibitions and even wine and beer tasting. Great fun and an easy way to meet like-minded people. We drive, you enjoy!
Further afield we can take you up Kilimanjaro, to see the gorillas in Uganda or Rwanda, white-water rafting in Victoria Falls, scuba-diving in Lake Malawi, sand-duneing in the Namib Desert, sailing dhows off Mozambique, riding horses over the salt pans of Botswana or specialist guided farm tours in Zambia - before catching a tiger fish on the Zambezi or Lake Kariba.
Not forgetting the luxury of lazing around swimming pools at elegant hotels, exploring inner cities such as Stone Town on Zanzibar, discovering new art galleries and museums, and meeting the people, always an important part of travelling, THE SAFARI TRAVEL SHOP will listen to your ideas and advise how and where to go.
As part of AFRICAN INSIGHT, a company that has been pleasing travellers since 1996, THE SAFARI TRAVEL SHOP also has extensive knowlede of South Africa for those who wish to explore more of this unique country which is, as they say "A world in one Country".
We will come to you to discuss your next trip if you live in or around Howick. Just phone and lets make an arragement to meet.
