Come see and feel Africa in ways that have rarely been experienced by wheelchair-bound people before! We offer safari destinations that were once inaccessible. Whether you are wholly or partly restricted to a wheelchair, our customized safaris will take you on a completely unrestricted trip virtually anywhere throughout Southern Africa. Because of the nature of our safaris, our guides have been hand-picked for their extensive knowledge of the countries through which we travel. Although we offer scheduled itineraries, we have custom-designed tours to a host of different destinations. We have made all the effort for you so that you can relax and take all the time you need to soak up the atmosphere and gaze at the beauty around you.

Our specially modified vehicles can take you anywhere in complete comfort and style! Two double doors and a nice ramp make access easy. There is also a wheelchair locking device to ensure safety and comfortability to those who remain in their wheelchair. We can also provide a personal caregiver if needed.

The design of our tents assures your comfort at all accessible destinations. The tent has been specially designed for maximum maneuverability, and the heights of the beds have been fixed to allow for the most comfortable transfer from a wheelchair. We have included a partitioned en suite bathroom (including a roll-in shower) as part of our spacious 4.5m by 3m luxury tent. Now there is no need to leave the tent at night and you can rest in complete safety.

From beds and en-suite bathrooms, we will supply everything you need to enjoy a truly African safari. The dining tent will be the venue for enjoying delicious meals served with a choice of wines, locally brewed beer, or you can choose from a selection of soft drinks. Our one Kw generator provides us with energy to keep our food fresh even in the remotest of places and allows for the charging of batteries for electrically operated wheelchairs. Any personal medication that needs to be refrigerated will also be kept there.
