THE PERSONAL TOUCH

African journeys created just for you

Senegalia's approach to crafting the perfect safari is simple - we take our lead from you. By listening to each of our guests and understanding their needs and expectations, we create safari magic that's 100% exclusive and tailored to fit. 

Our safaris are perfect for groups of up to eight people, making them ideal for friends and families travelling together and looking for a completely authentic, immersive walking safari experience in South Africa's Greater Kruger region.

Using a combination of rustic trails camps and wonderful, low-key independent bush camps where we know the walking is fantastic, the facilities excellent and the ethos in keeping with our own, we're able to bring together the very best the Kruger region has to offer to discerning travellers looking for a perfectly curated, unscripted safari.

GETTING AWAY FROM FOMO!

You set the pace, we follow

When you're in the bush with Senegalia Wilderness Safaris, you won't find an itinerary anywhere. Or a timetable. Or scheduled game drives. We like to let our safaris evolve with you, allowing you to dictate the pace. There's no "fear of missing out" (FOMO) on a Senegalia safari! We walk when we walk, and we stop when we stop. We have hearty bush breakfasts and dinners under the stars, around a crackling log fire, where we plan what we're going to do the following morning. 

If you want to sleep late or eat early, that's fine. It's your safari and we want to make sure it's absolutely perfect for you! There's no mad rush. You're the only guests "in camp" so if we're late for breakfast or dinner no one's going to mind! 

This is the essence of a "slow safari", where you can truly relax and forget the "every day" and focus only on the wilderness around you. It's restorative, mind-altering, life-changing and, most importantly, fun!

HOW WE WORK

All you have to do is get here

We take care of the rest. Seriously. From our first communication with you to the day you arrive on safari, we will have been working tirelessly to make sure we know exactly what you want out of your Senegalia safari and how to deliver it to you. 

Everything else is in Africa's hands, from the weather to the wildlife. So, we encourage everyone at the start to go with Africa's flow and adapt to its rhythms, which may seem strange at first, but we assure you that within a day you'll be raving at the simplicity of it all! 

That's the beauty of an unscripted safari - we work with the African wilderness on its own terms to immerse you and your friends and family into your surroundings, so you become part of the environment rather than just passing through it at arm's length!

Our job is to make sure that you leave us having had an incredible time and a lot of fun!

WHAT YOUR SAFARI COULD LOOK LIKE...

A sample of what we offer

Here is an idea of what you might expect while exploring the African bush with Senegalia Wilderness Safaris...

• Wake up before the sunrise at around 05h30-06h00
• Meet around the fire for coffee/tea, rusks and fruit before heading out on a morning walk
• We will stop for a light snack and break en-route
• Return to camp for a nice big hot brunch between 11h00 and 13h00
• Meet again at 15h30 and head out for another walk at around 16h00
• Return to camp before the sun sets at 17h30/18h00
• Enjoy the evening fire with stories and fireside snacks
• Enjoy a dinner together under the stars at 19h00/19h30

Because our walking safaris take place in South Africa's winter months (May to September) there's no rush to head out in order to beat the heat of summer. We walk for between four and six hours each day at a slow and steady pace, listening to the wilderness around us as we go, following any tracks we might pick up.

Back at camp there's always lots of time for an afternoon siesta, a warm shower or just relaxing in the shade of tall trees and watching life pass by.

Evenings are spent around the fire, enjoying a hearty dinner and chatting about the day's adventures.
