WHY LIYATSHWA SAFARIS?
WHY LIYATSHWA SAFARIS?
Unrivalled local knowledge and experience.
You're dealing directly with the experts.
Impartiality and objective advice.
There is nothing that we at Liyatshwa Safaris pride ourselves on more than the many travelers who have visited southern Africa with our company, and returned as very satisfied customers. A small selection of their comments can be found at our Client Referrals page; we will happily provide names and contact details for references to potential clients who are interested in booking through us. We certainly like to think that we offer a unique and exceptional service, but there's no need to take us at our word - ask others who have worked with us in creating their perfect safari.
Unrivalled local knowledge and experience.
Southern Africa is not a mass tourism destination, and cannot adequately be covered by travel agents or tour operators who are not intimately familiar with the region's geography, climate, ecology, and people. Nothing is more important in designing the perfect Southern African safari than firsthand knowledge and expertise of the region and its many great highlights.
Liyatshwa Safaris have extensive firsthand experience of living and travelling in, as well as sending clients to, southern Africa. Furthermore, between them they possess a unique set of professional qualifications and insights pertaining to Southern Africa, its history, wildlife, and culture. It is their policy to regularly (and personally) visit every property in the Liyatshwa Safaris Portfolio, and many others besides, to ensure that they continue to meet the high standards that Liyatshwa Safaris demands for its clients. From the first time traveller to Africa, to the most specialized of interest groups, we possess the expertise and firsthand experience to arrange the perfect safari.
At Liyatshwa Safaris, every itinerary that we create is designed in conjunction with our clients, taking into account their own interests and circumstances. From airline tickets to hotel bookings, transfers, guides, and all imaginable logistics, we will take care of every arrangement so that all you do is sit back and absorb Africa. In this way we offer a unique service to the discerning traveller, allowing you the flexibility to sculpt your own 'African experience' which fully meets, and even exceeds, your dreams and aspirations, without any concern for the mundane details.
This dedication to service and attention to detail is not only a feature upon which we pride ourselves, but is also one of the most important criteria we look for in the safari camps, lodges and hotels in our Liyatshwa Safaris portfolio. From the time you contact us, until after you return from your safari, you are assured of the type of friendly, professional, and personalized service that differentiates a good holiday from a truly memorable travel experience.
You're dealing directly with the experts.
In line with their commitment to the highest levels of service, the founders are personally involved in the design of every tour that bears the Liyatshwa Safaris logo. Before booking your holiday with anyone else, ask your consultant if they have travelled to the places where they are sending you; ask them why they are sending you there, what the alternatives are, and whether they have experienced these firsthand. Then call Liyatshwa Safaris and ask us.
Impartiality and objective advice.
Unlike many other tour operators and travel agents, we have no limiting deals with specific local outfits to market their properties exclusively. We accept no payment from properties in our Liyatshwa Safaris portfolio - they are selected or rejected purely according to criteria which we have established as important components of the Liyatshwa Safaris experience.
We work with all the top local properties, but are not restrictively bound to any of them. We also do not own or operate any camps, lodges, or hotels ourselves. As such, we have no vested interests, and are in the perfect position to independently analyze all operators, destinations, and properties in the region, and offer our clients perfectly impartial and objective advice.
A very important element of travelling to a largely unknown destination is the peace of mind to know that you will be properly taken care of while you are there. This is why Liyatshwa Safaris is very careful about our local partners in Southern Africa, and works only with the very best. All travel arrangements and logistics are meticulously made, and double-checked, long before our clients embark on their safari.
Once in the region, Liyatshwa Safaris travellers have access to a local number that they can call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week if any problems should arise. In this way it is possible to travel with all the security of a packaged tour, but all the flexibility and privacy of an individual traveller. This is a key feature of the Liyatshwa Safaris experience.
Classic Africa was founded on the mutually reinforcing principles of service to our clients, and a contribution to nature conservation and cultural heritage in Southern Africa. These two principles - service and commitment to the region - are also two very important criteria by which we select our Liyatshwa Safaris portfolio and preferred local partners.
Classic Africa's commitment to the region is further reflected in our own unique policy of contributing a portion of our annual profits to projects aimed at nature conservation and community empowerment in Southern Africa. The Liyatshwa Safaris traveller is secure in the knowledge that, not only are they receiving unequalled service, but they are directly contributing to the very special region that they are visiting.
In spite of our unrivalled local knowledge and exceptional levels of service, we are able to offer highly competitive quotes on all tours to the region. Frequently we can offer individual, customized itineraries to superior destinations at less cost than similar packaged tours using poorer facilities. We can almost certainly beat any quote on a customized tour. This is because we do not run expensive marketing campaigns, maintain costly administrative overhead, or sell through middle-men who add their own mark-ups.
We also offer some of the most inexpensive airfares in the industry, with return tickets New York to Johannesburg starting at $099. All this adds up to unbeatable value for money. Contact us for a quote.
