• Most of our guides and staff are keen photographers and to enhance your experiences and enjoyment, photographs may be taken of your safari, some of which may be used for promotional purposes. My African Safari and its partners reserve the right to use these images without the consent of anyone appearing in the images or photographs; however you can be guaranteed that no photographs of a compromising nature will be used for such purposes.
National Parks Fees may be subject to change and My African Safari cannot be held liable for unexpected changes to Park Fees, and Government Tariffs. Roads in the bush are rough and bumpy, guides occasionally travel “off road” and injuries can occur. My African Safari, their staff members, associates or agents cannot be held liable for any accidents or any damages. Most places booked for travel are in wild and remote parts of Africa with dangerous wildlife and often harsh terrain; hence you will be exposed to potentially hazardous activities. My African Safari, its associates, partners and staff will not be held liable for any injury, loss of life or damage whatsoever during and after the travel arrangements.
My African Safari is committed in ensuring that your travel arrangements remain according to plan. My African Safari and its partners and associates may alter, cancel or change travel arrangements at any time should they feel it justified in the interest of safety. Such changes will be communicated timeously in order for alternative arrangements to be made where necessary. It is assumed that the deposit payment and your final amount paid is because you have agreed to the terms and conditions set out by My African Safari, its associates and related companies and partners and thereby will not hold liable any claim against any person or organization as a result of any changes, cancellations, damage to one’s property, injury, death and any other unforeseen occurrences whether it is due to negligence by one or more of our staff or any company.
Therefore, you have indemnified the various organizations and individuals aforementioned in any such events.
Upon submission of the Agent Registration form, My African Safari assumes that you agree to the terms and conditions of travel, and thereby waiver indemnity to My African Safari, its agents, associates and employees.
The dates and duration of our mobile safaris are set by you, at your preferred and chosen time with a tailor made itinerary best suited to you. These safaris are exclusive to your safari party and offer the highest level of hospitality with inclusions of the best permanent camps in Botswana and elsewhere in Africa.
The beauty of a mobile safari is that we can go anywhere, and set up a luxurious base camp from which to go and explore our surrounds with no one else in sight. Our main locations on Safari are found in Northern Botswana, one of the last truly unspoiled wilderness areas of Africa.
My African Safaris are designed to make the most of seasonal conditions and wildlife movements, not being geographically restricted to one area or a camp concession. A huge advantage of being mobile is that they bear far less ecological impact on the pristine environments in which we operate. We take nothing but photos and leave only footprints. On a mobile safari, we safely enter the realms and territories of the abundance of wildlife in any given area, and being in a private group together with the surrounding wildlife greatly accentuates any nature experience.
Wake up to a delightful English breakfast and watch the magic of elephants almost silently come down to drink at a twinkling waterhole in the morning light, smell the light aromas of sage the gentle giants have crushed beneath foot, and then a mad dash to wolf down your breakfast as James’ magic hearing picks up the roar of the lions and we’re off on safari.
Our mobile-tented camps are situated at exclusive sites, placing you in the heart of nature in the greatest comfort. Safety, security and serenity are our core values.
This is a privately guided and hosted 100% tailor made exclusive safari. Your own private camp, guide, host, chef and camp team. This is a great way to experience the bush with your family or close friends where you can dictate the pace of the safari. Should you choose to sit with the pride of lions we have found in the morning all day, that's up to you and your family.
We follow the game and moving camp without you even noticing is our signature.
