Five rules
we travel by.
Not a brochure promise — the way every one of our journeys is actually run.
Plan your private journey →
01Most safaris share the car.Private means private.
Your vehicle. Your guide. Your pace.
No shared seats, no fixed schedule. The day starts when you are ready — and ends when the light is gone.
02Most safaris follow the radio.We don’t chase radios.
We read behaviour, tracks and landscape.
While others race to the next rumour, our guides read the grass, the birds and the wind — and arrive before the crowd does.
03Most safaris count sightings.Time matters.
One extraordinary sighting over ten ordinary ones.
Engine off. We stay — sometimes for an hour — because the moment worth remembering is usually the one you waited for.
04Most safaris sell a brochure.Luxury, in the right place.
Hand-picked luxury tented camps and lodges.
We choose luxury tented camps and fine lodges for their comfort and for where they place you — so you wake up close to the wildlife, not an hour’s drive away.
05Most safaris end at the booking.People matter.
One small team, from Norway to Tanzania.
The people planning your journey work directly with the people welcoming you on the ground. You will know us by name.
The sixth rule
Be unique.
Avoid crowds.
Where the crowd goes, we take you somewhere else — the quieter road, the earlier hour, the camp nobody else booked.

Couldn’t be more happy with Sam as our guide, he made all our dreams come true. We visited Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Park where we was able to see all the big 5 plus many many other species and birds.
I’ve been on two safaris with him to Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti — and will definitely be booking him for the third.
Utrolig flinke guider med stor kunnskap og lidenskap for landet, naturen og dyrene. Kunne ikke bedt om en bedre tur og safari!
Throughout the entire process, they were attentive and meticulous, ensuring a flawless experience down to the finest detail.
Emason from Lille Bille guided us through a fantastic trip to Serengeti. He has an enormous knowledge of animals and the landscape of Tanzania.
Fikk se utrolig natur, dyr i nasjonalparkene og var hele tiden trygt i varetatt. Anbefales!
Saw much more animals than expected, including lions a couple of meters from the car.
He has so much knowledge about the wild animals and he is very punctual when it comes to the time we agreed upon.
