This holiday is operated by a primate specialist

Primates are the main focus of attention however most safaris also incorporate other fauna and flora highlights of the destination as well. Primate specialist trips are conducted by local guides and drivers.

How this holiday makes a difference

Environment

Wherever possible we use locally run and managed accommodation; lodging does vary however and can either be in environmentally low impact eco-lodges or tented camping safaris. As a result of this we minimise the impact on the local environment at the same time as providing the traveller with a high level of comfort. This is a private safari which means that your impact on the environment and wildlife is kept to a minimum at all times resulting in you also being likely to see more!

We also donate a percentage of each safari sold to the conservation of primates throughout the world at the end of each year.

We aim to minimise our impact on the environment as much in the UK as we would do in any of our destination countries. We do this through recycling of any office waste including, paper, plastic, cans, glass, refuse, in partnership with the Borough of Hammersmith. The purpose of our safaris is to contribute to local populations, communities and projects. We give our travellers advice on how to interact with the local population, flora and fauna in order to minimise any negative impact.

Community

All of our trips are conducted by local guides and drivers who specialise in this region of Africa. Through the employment of local staff, money is fed directly back into individual families and villages that would otherwise not benefit from tourism.

We advise people not to bargain just for the sake of it and because it is the “thing to do”; you should pay what you feel the object is worth to yourself and the vendor, bearing in mind local cultures, society and standard of living.

Story of the holiday provider

The MD of this wildlife tour operator, an ex-gorilla safari guide, set up the company five years ago from the damp basement in his flat, believing there was a gap in the industry for specialist knowledge on primates. He tailors primate safaris which maximise the opportunity to see as much as possible and offer an unbeatable wildlife experience: unlike a traditional safari, you are on foot and can find yourself 6 metres away from a 200 kg silverback gorilla. Today, the company is thriving, with 8 dedicated ex-guide team members who are eager to share their firsthand experience and enthusiasm.
