LUXURY PRIVATE SAFARIS, UNLIKE ANY OTHER
Francesco Pierre-Nina
Select wildlife safaris are choreographed by your professional guide. Luxurious amenities and destinations aside, no other single factor will more determine your sense of oneness with culture, landscape, wildlife, and fulfilment of anticipation.
MY STORY
Growing up in the African bush, immersion in wildlife lore was my every-day. Having settled in Tanganyika, my parents chose an extremely adventurous lifestyle that became my expectation benchmark - riding around in open jeeps, floating down crocodile infested murky rivers in dugout canoes, sleeping under canvas, and waking up to sounds heralding surreal sunrises that still paint jaw dropping landscapes in quintessentially African big sky country! With a degree in Hospitality Management, a passion for wildlife, and a desire to share this magic with others, guiding safaris was an inevitable destiny. Blending avocation with vocation, enabled me to pioneer my style of Tented Photographic Safari in a post war Tanzania. Today, that is all history and five decades on, having done more safaris than I can remember, I can claim to know a thing or two about them!
“No one would argue that Francesco’s wildlife bush lore knowledge, campfire stories, tread lightly passionate ‘safari as it should be’ approach, weave wonder and mystery into memories that leave his Safari experience indelibly etched into those included”
OUR APPROACH
Luxury is a matter of opinion; I shy from such ambiguity preferring words like style, comfort, freedom, luxurious and grand. Grand Safaris are defined by the one-on-one relationship with your tracker, teacher, interpreter, protector and entertainer. Your new friend, the one regaling personal fireside stories while you’re sipping chilled wine or iced sundowners in awe of the day’s magical encounters. Luxury, maybe! Grand, absolutely!
By fusing your hopes and dreams with my experience, we deliver the most inspirational journey possible in your given time frame, whilst also ensuring the best value for money. This culminates in a safe and exciting safari from which you come away with a sense, among others, of having lived the adventure.
We travel not to escape life but so life does not escape us!
