We
can plan a safari tour designed to suit your own special interests,
preferences and abilities. Your safari would include places we go to
on our scheduled South Island trips and we can also take you to other
special places. A customised safari can be easier or more challenging
than our scheduled trips and can emphasise overnight hiking or focus
on day walks. Customised safaris are run in the same manner as our scheduled
hiking safaris (e.g. West Coast Wilderness), using the same guides,
vehicles, equipment, and budget accommodation. This way we retain flexibility
to cope with variable weather. Clients are expected to participate in
cooking, collecting firewood, pitching tents, washing dishes etc.
