Our Adventurer's Collection

For the more intrepid traveller

Welcome to our Adventurer’s Collection, a selection of partner properties and mobile safaris, designed for intrepid travellers on the hunt for something different. This collection is for those of you wanting to put a bit more gravel in your travel, experiencing the freedom of exploration on a specialist guided mobile safari, cruising through the Okavango Delta waterways on a houseboat, sleeping in Bakalanga huts in the middle of a baobab forest, or glamping up a storm in the Namib desert. It’s a little offbeat and off the beaten track – just the way we like it!
