YOUR PERSONAL SAFARI SPECIALIST
Owned and operated by Tom Schovsbo, our safari experience goes back to the start of the 1990’s when the main focus was on Tanzania.
Over the years, Safaris and Expeditions’ destinations have expanded to cover the best safari destinations in East and Southern Africa. We work closely with key partners across the continent
The Africa we know, is truly magnificent.
A Little Background
Tanzania is where our story began and we have in depth knowledge of the country, it’s people and the best places to visit. A lot has changed over the years and it is hard to fathom the increase in accessible destinations, the establishment of new parks and an almost exponential growth in accommodation choices and local safari operators. It takes a thorough understanding of the whole industry to make the best recommendations.
Tom’s Experience
Tom explored Africa as an equestrian guide, leading long-distance horse safaris. For 10 years, he worked as the Manager of a highly regarded luxury safari operator in Tanzania. The company operated 14 semi-permanent safari camps in very remote area and also fielded classic mobile safaris with professional guides. The company employed about 450 people. He now markets and sells safaris as an unbiased independent agent and occasional tour leader.
Planning Your Safari
Safaris allow you to experience wilderness, wildlife and natural beauty: A breath of fresh air, far from the daily routine. Safaris are experiences to cherish. Where you go, with whom, what you do – all impact your experience. We arrange how to get there, where to stay and offer advice of how long to stay. We determine the all inclusive costs taking away the guesswork. We advise you based on your interests and our direct experience of the region
Our Expertise
We specialize in designing and booking custom-made safaris. Our aim is to provide you with information and advice on where to go on safari and to handle your reservations, bookings and payments.
Safaris and Expeditions was established in 2004, mainly to promote East and Southern Africa. Our strength comes from personal experiences guiding safaris and a background of managing and operating safaris since 1990.
How we operate
We work with a range of safari operators who provide ground services at selected destinations. Most are personal contacts, giving us the confidence to sell what we believe are the best, high quality trips within each given price range.
On request, Tom will accompany guests on safari, providing guiding and tour leader services to guests.
SELECT PARTNERS
Our partners deliver outstanding quality and reliability. We take care to select the best operators within each price bracket. As an independent operator, Safaris and Expeditions has no obligations to sell a particular camp or product. We always select the best option available within the budget provided.
