Our Outstanding Service (top)

Born Free Trip Coordinators
We Listen To You! The planning of your trip is the key ingredient to making yours a successful one. Born Free Safari Specialists are not booking agents, we are experts in our field. It is our goal to assist you in every aspect of planning your trip and making sure that you have selected the right trip. We are always delighted to discuss your questions, concerns and special interests as you prepare for your exciting trip to Africa.

Outstanding Service
No matter which trip you choose, no matter what your budget, whether you are traveling alone or with a group, everyone will receive our full attention - making your trip a trip of a lifetime!

Departures Guaranteed
You are guaranteed to go on a trip once we have received your deposit and confirmed your services. If your chosen tour can not operate for some reason beyond our control, we will do everything possible to substitute a tour that meets your requirements and travel dates.

Small Groups - Personal Attention
It is our policy to limit the size of all trips. This is to ensure the personal attention for which Born Free Safaris has become known. Check trip details for the exact number of travelers on your selected trip; even though group sizes are small, actual participants may vary. There is never a surcharge for small groups.

Sustainable Tourism and Eco-Tourism
A commitment to Sustainable and Responsible Tourism will not only make a low impact on the indigenous people and environment but be a positive experience for all those involved. Read more about how we create a more green, eco-friendly and culturally sustainable travel experience for you.

Born Free Air Department
Born Free Safaris is an ARC Accredited Agency (Airlines Reporting Corporation) with an experienced in-house Air Department. Please contact us for the best rates and coordination of your air and land - even if you are using award points!

Access Africa
Contrary to popular thought, a safari can be physically undemanding, as much of the time is spent in vehicles. Born Free will gladly assist in coordinating trips that are not only aimed for people with disabilities, physical limitations but also our older travelers who may need to take it at a slower pace. We have put together over 250 properties spread throughout Africa that have met many of the standards required by this type of specialized travel. These trips are no more costly than other equivalent safaris. Contact our offices for more details.

Our trips take you to the best national parks and unique destinations. Travel off-the-beaten path. Style of travel is as you please - from the most deluxe accommodations to truly an adventure in spirit always with comfort and safety always kept in mind.

Our safaris are not just trips but experiences. Unique itineraries add a dimension not found on standard journeys.

Born Free Vehicles - Vehicles are extremely important on safari. Born Free, operates and maintains a fleet of buses and four-wheel-drive safari cruisers in Kenya and Tanzania. When flying into an area such as the Mara, Botswana, Zambia, and Northern Serengeti we use property vehicles. While other companies use their own vehicles in these areas, Born Free chooses to contract with each location to use the vehicles that have been designed for that particular terrain.
