The word ‘safari’ comes from the Swahili word for journey. It is most fitting that on a safari you journey to see the magnificent animals in their natural environment, whether you are walking, riding on horseback, or on a vehicle. That said, an African safari is not solely just to see the wildlife, but also to experience the richness and diversity of the local culture.

A comprehensive safari experience brings you to fully immerse yourself in outdoor activities, visiting historical sites, and enjoying the natural wonders provided by mountains, forests, oceans, and the natural fauna and flora. A hosted safari is the most effective way to see the best of Africa in the limited time you are given and here, at Jehty Quest we have the knowledge and expertise to make your visit to the sunny shores of Africa, unforgettable! Rather than merely scratching the surface, a hosted safari is going to give you the most spectacular experiences Africa can offer. This brings us to the reasons a hosted safari might just be the perfect option for you.

An African Safari which is hosted gives you the knowledge and experience of local

You’re only going to be in Africa for a limited time and you want to be sure you have the best experience possible while you’re there. Being an individual with your own tastes and preferences, you may have certain activities you are wildly enthusiastic to try, and certain activities you wish to avoid. Collin and Corinne have a long and happy history with South Africa, having grown up on game farms. Knowing the local area means your hosts have a distinct advantage: we can come up with a master-plan at the drop of a hat because we know all the local hang-outs and activities a new-comer would be unlikely to discover. A simple Google search for points of interest rarely reveals the true gems. Hosted safaris with Jehty Quest are planned ahead of time in the finest detail and contain every activity that would thrill you, based on your interests.

A hosted African safari gives you support during your travel

If you have health conditions, or if you have particular concerns, a hosted safari is definitely going to be the best option. If you have none of the above, a hosted safari will still benefit you more as the added support goes a long way in ensuring your trip is memorable. If you see a fun activity advertised you hadn’t thought of adding to your adventure, your hosts will be able to tell you where the best place is to participate and ensure you arrive safely, have a wonderful time hosting you through your vacation, and leave comfortably when you are ready.

You’re on an African safari. Choose to be hosted and forget the admin, just relax.

Other than making sure you have packed properly (we provide you with a list for that, too!), you have nothing to worry about with regards to putting together your vacation plans. We use our knowledge of the local points of interests, combined with the experience we have of hosting visitors, to decide on venues and activities. Your itinerary will be beyond what you could have envisioned! Knowing which hotels cater to your interests is something you can only get with previous experience of visiting them. As your hosts, we have seen everything the hotels and resorts have to offer and can navigate with ease based on your requirements.

Whether you want to climb table mountain or lie back on a deck at a safari resort with a cocktail in hand, we’ve got just the trick up our sleeves to make the trip memorable. Our familiarity with the locals means we know all the best hang-outs, while we are completely independent, meaning we have no affiliations limiting the options we can offer you. We can offer advice on the best seasons to travel and what to bring to ensure you’re equipped for whatever unexpected fun might come your way.
