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

GROUP TRAVEL HOSTED BY ME
Women’s Group Walking Safari
On foot you notice everything: fresh tracks in the dust, the alarm call of a francolin, the true scale of an elephant. Walking is where my heart is and I love bringing link minded ladies together for an adventure of a lifetime (with plenty of comfort..)
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”
~Gill & Mike, Namibia, Botswana & South Africa “Kim really is the safari and Africa expert, and i’m so glad we booked the trip we did with her. It was such a special holiday and one we’ll never forget.”
~Le Sueur's, Kenya “We booked an 11-night trip to Kenya through Kim and it was honestly the most amazing holiday - one I would happily do all over again and would highly, highly recommend!”
~Sophie, Kenya
Tailor-made Safari FAQ’s
-
Booking a holiday through a specialist travel consultant often costs no more than booking direct.
Hotels and airlines offer agents commissionable rates and I can usually help you get better value by choosing the right season, the best combination of camps and the most efficient flight route.
You gain expert advice, financial protection and personal support often at no additional cost.
-
Yes. I arrange your entire journey, including flights from Jersey to your connecting UK airport and onward to your destination
-
Yes. If you live in Jersey, I’d love to meet for a coffee to talk through your ideas face to face.
For clients in Guernsey and the UK, we can plan by phone or video call. Whereever you are, you’ll deal with me personally from your first conversation to your return home.
-
The best place to start is a conversation. Tell me what excited you most, whether that’s big cats, elephants, walking safaris or simply the peace of the bush, and when you’d like to travel.
I’ll recommend the best destination and camps for a first safari and explain everything in plain English, with no jargon.
-
For the best choice of camps, book a tailor-made safari 9 to 12 months in advance, especially for the Great Migration, school holidays and gorilla trekking, where permits are limited.
Shorter-notice trips are often still possible, particularly outside peak season, so it’s always worth getting in touch.
