Privately Guided African Safaris, Tailor-Made by Africa-Based Experts

Martin Meyer Safaris creates privately guided and tailor-made African safaris across Southern and East Africa. Based in Hoedspruit, South Africa, our journeys are planned by people who have spent decades travelling, guiding and working across the continent.
We help you choose the right countries, seasons, camps and travel style for the experience you actually want. Whether that means tracking gorillas in Uganda, exploring the Serengeti, travelling through Botswana’s Okavango Delta or combining several countries into one seamless journey, every itinerary is shaped around your interests, pace and budget.
Our recommendations are based on first-hand experience rather than brochures. We consider wildlife movements, guide quality, camp location, travel time and the overall rhythm of the journey—because an impressive list of lodges does not necessarily make a well-planned safari.

How Does Planning a Tailor-Made African Safari Work?

Planning an African safari can feel overwhelming. There are countries, seasons, camps, flights and a surprising number of opinions from people who once saw a zebra near Pretoria. We simplify the process by helping you make informed decisions and then coordinating the complete journey from beginning to end.

01

Tell Us About Your Safari

Share your approximate travel dates, preferred destinations, group size, interests and budget. If you are unsure where to go, that is perfectly fine. Understanding how you enjoy travelling is often more useful than arriving with a completed itinerary.

02

Speak With an Africa-Based Safari Expert

We arrange a personal consultation to discuss your ideas and answer your questions. Drawing on first-hand experience, we help you compare destinations, seasons, camps, travel times and safari styles so that every recommendation has a clear purpose.

03

Receive Your Personalised Safari Proposal

We design a complete itinerary around your interests, preferred pace and budget. Your proposal clearly explains the accommodation, activities, transfers, regional flights, guiding arrangements and inclusions, allowing you to understand exactly how the journey fits together.

04

Refine, Confirm and Start Packing

We refine the itinerary with you until it feels right. Once confirmed, we coordinate the arrangements and remain available before and during your travels. You can concentrate on Africa; we will concentrate on making sure you reach the correct camp on the correct day.

Ready to Start Planning?

Tell us what you have in mind, even if it is still only the beginning of an idea. We will help you turn it into a thoughtfully planned African journey.
