Travel Butlers - United Kingdom

Travel Butlers help thousands of people plan and book their trip to Africa each year, and all of our consultants are experts with at least 8 years experience of the region. 
 
Because we appreciate that everyone is different, we tailor every trip to each client's specific requirements rather than work on a 'one size fits all' approach.  If you click here you can see examples of some of the trips we can organise for you. 
We put a lot of care and thought into planning the right holiday for you – and we really do not mind how many times we make changes, as long as at the end of the day, you get the holiday you want and which has not blown your holiday budget out of the water !
We are always on the end of the phone or email to answer any questions or queries that you may have.
Our customers are extremely happy with our services – but don't just take our word for it, take a look at some of the recent comments we have received.
 
We are ATOL bonded, so if you book a holiday with us that includes any flights, your holiday will be covered by this licence.
If you book any other package with us (so a combination of accommodation plus a hire car and / or a transfer), then you trip will be covered under our TOPP policy

Northern Sudan is one of Africa's most mysterious destinations. The Nile river crosses the Sahara desert and along its valley there are very interesting archaeological sites of Egyptian and Meroitic civilization still unknown to the most.

There are more pyramids in Sudan than in Egypt. The Nubian desert, the Eastern part of the Sahara and the Nile Cataracts, are only some of Sudan's natural wonders. The Italian Tourism Co. Ltd., offers only the best itineraries, the best accommodations, the best organization. Our staff knows all the archaeological sites, the hidden Nubian villages, the nomads' settlements, the more spectacular desert landscapes.

We built two luxury properties located in the most interesting areas of Northern Sudan.

The Hide Safaris - Zimbabwe

The Hide Safaris, only 2 hours from Victoria Falls, is a luxury camp located on the Eastern Boundary of Hwange National Park; it is one of the few camps adjacent to the National Park itself. Unlike other camps in the area, long drives from Camp to the Park are not necessary as we are in reality, a part of the Park itself, and the wildlife migration on our private concession is second to none. The Park boasts an abundance of bird and wildlife, including the Big Five!

The Hide has 10 luxury East African Style Tents (all en-suite) under thatch, all with a private porch overlooking our waterhole usually heaving with game activity. Our Honeymoon suites have an additional outside bath where guests can relax in a bath and enjoy the stunning view over the waterhole. Game activities include game drives and walks, night drives, bush dinners and much more. We also cater for honeymooners and small weddings.

The hub of the Camp is our majestic “A” Frame which houses the dining room, lounge and teak deck overlooking the waterhole. Meals are either served al-fresco or around our magnificent 22-seater teak dining room table - our candlelit dinners are an experience to be treasured! Our plunge pool is located outside the “A” Frame, which also offers a magnificent view of the waterhole. After a long game drive or game walk on a hot day, cool down and relax with a chilled drink and observe the game coming to the waterhole. The Hide has been consistently voted “Best Tented Safari Camp in Zimbabwe” since 1995.

FDSA raises funds through the sale of Membership to the Society, donations, sale of branded items and fund raising activities / events.

Since 1971, we have donated $12million towards the work of AMREF. Membership costs start at $15 per adult per year. With this membership, an individual is entitled to one free medical emergency evacuation during the year of their membership.

You will also have 24hrs access to the AMREF Flying Doctors Emergency Center for free medical advice. Becoming a member is also a way of giving back to Society.

The African Embassy Safaris - Tanzania

In front of me were two roads I chose the one less traveled And that exactly made all the difference..." Robert Frost About the African Embassy Safaris operating out of the Hatari Lodge: Nestled like a jewel at the base of majestic Mount Kilimanjaro lies a place of adventure and romance – Hatari. Silverscreen glamour, the farm of Hardy Kruger… located at the outskirts of Arusha National Park, far out in the African Savannah, for Jörg, Marlies and Donyo Gabriel it is a dream-come-true – or: simply home! By combining their professional backgrounds and unique talents, the Gabriels have diligently restored Hatari to its legendary glory.

In 2004, they created a unique and sophisticated luxury lodge, in which every room has been personally designed and decorated to reflect the distinct style and history of Hatari. Here the idyllic setting goes with the rich history of the place and ecological awareness to create a unique atmosphere that is sure to enthrall every safari enthusiast.

A network of different projects, created by Marlies and Jörg together, intends to make the Momella region a sustainable environment for its people and natural resources. From here you venture with the professional service of “The African Embassy Safaris" on our various Safari “Hoppers” into Tanzania… and beyond! From lush green mountain rainforests surrounding craters, lakes and countless hills to the wide and open spaces of steppes and savannas, from acacia woodlands to lowland coastal forests, rivers and the turquoise colored Indian Ocean, USL “Hoppers” include safaris in all parts of Africa, by flight, jeep, boat and on foot.

We explore the unexplored – no well-trodden paths, no famous national parks; we do not follow the deep-rutted tracks of minibuses and Land Rovers and completely avoid big hotel chains with their impersonal atmosphere – our guests stay at unique, independent and privately owned camps and lodges. All our TAE Safari “Hoppers” include a stay at our fabulous Hatari Lodge and our exclusive Shu’mata Camp, where you will be able to have a closer look at some of the diverse projects of our MomellaFoundation.

About the Hatari Lodge: The Lodge is situated at the northern edge of Arusha National Park - the long forgotten secret - in the heart of Tanzania. Measuring roughly 300 square kilometres it combines within its boundaries the vast variety of many other parks in northern Tanzania: craters, lakes, savannah, plains and Africa’s 4th highest mountain! Now a ‘luxury bush hotel’ the lodge consists of three buildings beautifully situated in acacia woodland allowing breathtaking views onto the Momella meadow, rich with wildlife and across to the majestic Kilimanjaro.

Hatari offers nine comfortably furnished rooms, each with an open fireplace and a spacious bathroom. Every room has been lovingly furnished and decorated in a modern retro style. Giving tribute to the 60’s and 70’s – the era of ‘Hatari!’ The “Hatari Experience” can be enjoyed in many different ways.

Close encounters with wildlife on our game drives or the experience of the rich and diverse flora and fauna on a guided walk; An adventurous canoe trip or simply let the resident buffalo, giraffe and plenty other animals come to you as you relax on our game viewing platform. About Shu'mata Camp - part of the "Hatari"! experience: The Camp is located at the foot of Kilimanjaro, deep in Maasai land, in an area known as South Amboseli. Large East African tents, in true Hemingway style, line on a hill from which magnificent views lead in all directions. At the front of the camp bush savannah melts into the slopes of Kilimanjaro, towering above into the blue skies of Africa. So close that on a moonlit night details of the glaciers can be visible. Seasonally the surrounding savannah bush teems with wildlife - large herds of elephant, eland, zebra and wildebeest and Oryx as well as Grants and Thompson Gazelle. Six comfortable safari tents in the true Hemingway style. All with en-suite bathrooms, toilet, shower in colourful decorations of Maasai Art.

Each tent has its own veranda with up-lifting views. Outside, under the great African sky the open fireplace adds a true feeling of adventure and safari romance. A Hemingway whiskey blends in perfectly with the sounds of crickets, barking zebra and the distant roar of a lion. Shu'mata - dedicated to Amboseli's elephants: The elephants of Amboseli have a legendary story. This barren land, scattered with `islands´ of old acacia forest and seasonal swamps flank the pans of the `embosel´ ecosystem which stretches to the lower slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro.

It is this region, away from the busy tourism areas of northern Tanzania, where the elder elephants retreat to live out their final years – in peace and harmony and away from the madding crowds. On foot with Maasai warriors or in open-top game-drive vehicles we get within meters of Africa’s largest mammals. Timeless moments. Sensing the great peace and beauty of these magnificent creatures and calmly sharing the habitat with the Maasai and their cattle. A true and original part of Africa.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth. Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same. And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I – I took the one less travelled by, And that has made all the difference.

Once the hunting ground of the Spotted Hyena, Wolwedans takes its name from the African for "where the wolves dance". The very word conjures up an aura of mystery and romance which, when visiting Wolwedans, nature and the rhythm of the desert will evoke within you.

Nestled amidst the dunes in the heart of NamibRand Nature Reserve, and set against a backdrop of unparalleled beauty, Wolwedans provides the perfect base from which to explore vast stretches of awe-inspiring nature.

Across this diverse canvas of contrasting landscapes traverse an exciting variety of large and small desert creatures - as wild and ancient as their habitat. Our portfolio of camps provides ample opportunity to meet our guests` different expectations and preferred levels of comfort - be it the rustic Dune Camp, the more elaborate Dunes Lodge or the Wolwedans Private Camp. No matter where you opt to stay, warmth and personalised service - embraced by a commitment to care for guest and nature alike - are our hallmarks.

It is here, in this land of stretching blue skies, endless plains and countless creatures enacting nature`s savagely exciting passion play, that you will find beauty feeding your soul, tranquillity to clear your mind and space for your imagination to fly. Visit once, and you will long to return - that is a promise.
