Guides for the thoughtful traveler
Safari Planning Guides
Most safari advice treats planning like booking a hotel—compare amenities, check boxes, maximize value. But safari isn't optimization, it's curation. The difference between extraordinary and merely good isn't found in spreadsheets but in understanding what you're actually after and designing accordingly. These guides are comprehensive explorations of the decisions that shape your experience—substantial writing structured around choices and tensions rather than quick-reference checklists. They're for travelers who want to understand how to think about safari, not just what to book.
