WHY BOOK WITH US
1. IT'S CHEAPER.
Booking directly with the various lodges will not typically save money – we are able to offer the same rates or often even better. But the real clincher is that we have access to cheaper airfares than commonly available to the public – it all adds up to a cheaper package through us than you could book directly.
2. IT'S EASIER.
Arranging a holiday can be a complex and time-consuming affair. Instead of you having to hassle with working out your trip details and whether it’ll all pan out, trying to obtain availabilities and confirmations from lodges where even telephone systems and e-mails often observe African Time, we’ll do it all for you. Don’t worry – we’ve got broad shoulders and can take it!
3. IT'S SAFER.
A holiday like this is one of the biggest expenses you’ll typically have all year (we prefer to see it more as an investment in your personal well-being!) So think twice before booking a holiday on the advice of a typical travel agent who is ultimately an all-rounder lacking the in-depth knowledge that we have of our specialist product range. You’ll also avoid the pitfall of booking a holiday direct with a hotel after being taken in by some misleading pictures on its website – only to arrive and find the reality less than charming.
4. IT’S TAILORED TO YOU
Each lodge featured on this website shows a couple of typical package prices – but don’t think that this is what you’re restricted to. We’ll
tailor-make your holiday together with you to suit your specific needs – whether you want a combination of different lodges, or perhaps on safari at a game lodge after your beach holiday. Anything is possible.
5. WE’VE PICKED THE BEST
We’ve scoured the Indian Ocean and selected a range of
chic and intimate beach hideaways in Kenya, Zanzibar and along the Tanzanian coast, Mozambique, the Maldives, Madagascar and the Seychelles. So how did we select them:
- Intimate – virtually all the beach lodges chosen feature just 5 - 15 rooms, so you’re assured of great personal service and the option to interact with like-minded travellers without ever feeling overcrowded.
- Position, position, position – most of our chosen lodges boast blissfully secluded locations in some of the most beautiful spots in the entire Indian Ocean away from the crush of other hotels.
- Charm and local character – forget bland and anonymous. Instead think wonderfully atmospheric use of local architectural styles and materials.
- Local flavour – this extends to the food too with lodge menus influenced by the style of the local cuisine. And if you like seafood, then you’re going to the right places…
What this all adds up to is the perfect recipe for romance and relaxation – much like staying at a top game lodge, this type of holiday is perfect for recharging your batteries amidst wonderfully unspoilt natural surroundings.
