On a proper mobile safari, the journey becomes the destination as you move with your own private camp over several days.
In a remote wilderness far from the modern world, things we’d normally take for granted become the ultimate luxury.
For those who want to truly experience the best of Africa's wilderness, there aren't many better ways to do this than by heading off with a mobile safari camp.
At the heart of this approach to travel is mobility. To explore an area properly you need to move. To move you need to be light on your feet. And to be light on your feet you need to be clever about what to take. But this is also about limiting our impact on pristine wildernesses.
Journeys like this are greater than the sum of their parts. The sense of fulfilment builds like a play in several acts, with secrets revealing themselves slowly as you cover the ground. The joy you’ll feel afterwards is truly profound – and it's likely you'll be hooked.
Mobile safaris are proof that luxury is all about context. Wait until you experience the joy of freshly cooked food by a camp fire surrounded by a million acres of Africa's wilderness.”
WHAT WE MEAN BY MOBILE SAFARIS - AND WHY WE LOVE THEM
These are old-school safaris of the best kind. We use portable safari camps to visit areas where there are no permanent lodges and therefore few other tourists. With true mobility comes the need for intelligent simplicity; leave behind everything you dont need, but take everything you either can't or don't want to - live without for a few days. Out goes wifi and rose-petals, in go cold drinks and simple delicious food to be prepared ingeniously over a simple bush stove. In the past we've even packed special lamps for guests with an interest in moths.
The style of camp varies from highly luxurious ones where you can expect Egyptian cotton sheets in large walk-in tents and trucks to move them, right down to flycamps that are little more than a bedroll under a mosquito net.

THE PERFECT TREK!
"Vanessa from Natural High Safaris provided a very responsive,personal and bespoke service which in turn led to a perfect trip, that was without fault! From our pack mules all the way up to our guide, Oulaid, it was outstanding. We were guided through the most beautiful and remote countryside to camp sites with the most awesome views. Oulaid had really thought about our route and request to be off the beaten track. It was a delight that we did not see any tourist for the whole trek. Our team were professional,hospitable and friendly, delivery a very well prepared and comfortable camp each evening.The camp chef did an amazing job bearing in mind the remoteness of our location, conjuring up very tasty and varied meals each day. If I could book another trip tomorrow I would.Next year beckons!Well done all!!"
Sublime Garden Route
"Fantastic accommodation recommendations in small boutique hotels"
I will definitely plan an expedition with this company again.
"They promptly provided an itinerary in response to our desires. Feedback on the plan was well received. Closer to the time we were connected with our guides to further hone our trip. A group of 5 women, arriving from various destinations, camping and lodges in the desert with extraordinary guides. Yes, the cliche works here...a trip of a lifetime."
