BESPOKE TRAVEL
What does a tailor-made safari really mean?
It means your trip starts with you, not a brochure. There are no set departure dates, no group you have to fit in with and no compromises on the things that matter most.
Whether you dream of watching the Great Migration, walking with Maasai guides, trekking with gorillas, boating down the Zambezi or exploring the Sri Lanka at your speed. I design every details around how you like to travel.
And because I’ve spent a decade living and working in the safari industry as well as a decade booking travel, my advice comes from first-hand experience, not a booking screen.
THE PROCESS
How planning your tailor-made safari works
Planning a safari can feel overwhelming. Here’s how I make it simple, personal and enjoyable, every step of the way.
01
Let’s talk
We start with a relaxed, no obligation chat, on the phone, video call or if you’re based in Jersey over coffee.
04
Book with confidence
I secure your camps, flights, transfers and any entrance fees and permits required. Your booking is made through Wild Paths Ltd and is fully financially protected.
02
Your personal proposal
I design a day-by-day itinerary just for you, with notes as to why i’ve chosen it, and clear pricing.
05
Get ready to go
Before you leave, you’ll receive your travel documents, a detailed itinerary and practical advice on packing, visas and what to expect, so you can simply look forward to it.
03
Refine it together
Swap a camp, add a beach stay, slow the pace down. We fine-tune every detail until it fees exactly right, with no pressure and no rush
06
I’m with you all the way
While you’re away I’m just a WhatsApp message away. If a flight changes or plans need adjusting, i’ll sort it, and i’ll be there to heal all your stories when you’re home

Guest Feedback
“Just returned from an unbelievable trip to Africa. Kim did not miss a beat. There was a couple of last minute changes, one with a flight when we were in Namibia. Kim just sent me a WhatsApp and it was all sorted, we didn’t have to worry about a thing”

Safari & Holiday FAQ’s
-
A tailor-made African safari typically starts from £5000 per person for around seven nights, including international flights.
The cost depends on the country, the time of year and the style of camp or lodge.
-
Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa are the best choice for a first safari. All three offer excellent Big Five game viewing, a wide range of lodges and easy travel between parks.
For something more remote and exclusive, Botswana and Zambia are wonderful.
Tell me what matters most to you and I’ll recommend the right fit.
-
Most journeys from Jersey connect through a UK airport. For Africa you can then fly direct from London to Kenya, Tanzania & South Africa, other Africa destinations require a stop over.
Sri Lanka also has direct flights from London.
Maldives and Mauritius have direct flights from London on certain days and months. The Seychelles requires a transit through either Istanbul, Frankfurt or the UAE.
I arrange the entire journey, including your Jersey flights, so the connections work smoothly and you avoid long layovers or unnecessary overnight stays
-
Yes!
Sri Lanka and the Maldives are one of the most popular twin-centre holidays. The flight from Colombo to Male takes about an hour and a half, so you can explore Sri Lanka’s temples, tea country and wildlife, then finish with a few days of pure relaxation in an overwater villa.
-
Yes.
Holidays I arrange are booked through Wild Paths Ltd, so your money is fully protected.
All payments are held in a trust account managed by Protected Trust Services (PTS), which keeps your money safe until your holiday is complete.
