Our
modus operandi when answering any query for a Fly & Drive
journey
Step
1
We treat every enquiry separately, personally and free of charge.
Whether you phone us, send an e-mail or fill in an enquiry form
on our website we endeavour to react personally within a couple
of hours ( usually the same workday).
Step
2
Once we have all the required information (or as much as possible)
we are able to make a cost estimate specifically to your requirements.
A cost estimate usually contains extensive information regarding
the route offered, all costs expected (including costs expected
during your travel like for instance, eating out, fuel, toll roads
etc.). Due to our system (custom designed for us) and making cost
estimates daily our estimate are usually very accurate. Overall,
this process takes between 1 and 3 days. Should it not be exactly
what you had in mind it is always possible to adjust the cost
estimate after it has been made to further suite your requirements.
Step
3
Only once, you are satisfied with what is being offered we go
ahead and turn the cost estimate into a quote. All accommodations*
and other services will then be contacted and provisionally booked.
This process usually takes between 2 and 4 days. When this process
is completed, we offer you a quote that is valid for several days.
If you wish to accept our quote it therefore offers you enough
time to find and book your flights and so complete the whole package.
Flights
already booked?
It should present no problem. With an extensive range of accommodations
we have listed, it will virtually always be possible to offer
you a very suitable place to stay over. This ensures that you
should always be able to travel your chosen route!
*Due
to the small scale nature of most of our accommodations we only
request availability and provisionally book once we know the enquiry
made is serious and a quote has been requested!
Should
you accept our quote we will send you a booking confirmation and
request a deposit payment if required. Vouchers, route descriptions
and other travel documents will dispatch by post or e-mail within
2 to 3 weeks of receiving full payment.

Why

Southern Africans and offices in Southern Africa and Europe
we are able to offer the interested traveller a vast amount
of knowledge, contacts and last but not least a passion for
our countries. The fact that we use small-scale accommodation
and are service minded means we often are able to offer just
that little bit extra! Our custom-made trips are always private
LB Safaris journeys uniquely designed just for you. We offer
you a private and personalized experience each time and at no
extra charge.
With
our many contacts and good working relationship with many acknowledged

to offer some of the best matching activities, accommodations,
rental vehicles in a professionally crafted package that usually

Free
quotes and advise
Quotes should not only be free but also comprehensive
and have no hidden costs. Our personal service plus free and
comprehensive quoting system is available for all who seriously
would like to travel to South Africa, Namibia and the rest of
Southern Africa. Would you like to know more? Phone
or e-mail us for
a free advice. If you prefer we will phone you back at a mutually
agreed time.
Assurance of quality without the risk of direct (blind) booking.
U have used the internet, which is a fantastic medium to get
on to our website. It can however sometimes have pitfalls. Websites
occasionally do not exactly reflect what is on offer and thus
presents a challenge. For instance, is it possible to eat out
or should you rather eat at the accommodation? Some accommodations
are not within a drivable distance of any restaurants or have
an excellent kitchen of their own. Last but by no means least
are the accommodations offered clean and/or is the furniture
not run down?
LB
Safaris offers accommodations that we visit and inspect personally
or regular intervals. We very often know the owners personally
and have a long working relationship with them. Mostly we offer
small scale personally run accommodations like guest houses,
the better bed and breakfast stay over, personally run lodges
and small hotels that have a comparable quality of between 3
and 4 stars. We rate accommodations not only on hygiene but
also friendly service, personal atmosphere and where possible
special surroundings, beautiful views etc. Should we offer a
self-catering or more basic accommodation we prefer to use the
AA (Automobile Association) as a guideline for quality and what
is offered? We also know which accommodations have a good kitchen
and where you cannot eat out thus helping you determine which
accommodations should only be B&B.
To
ensure the best possible value for money we do not always opt
for the cheapest possible services. Personal service, small
scale and special features like a beautiful view or excellent
service also play part in our choice. We have at our disposal
a large amount of accommodations that range from basic to spectacular
enabling us to offer most travellers something of their preference
and more. Combined with our knowledge of the best possible route
and frequency of staying over, drivability of certain routes
etc we can probably offer most travellers an experience of a
lifetime and unforgettable holiday to Southern Africa.

Golden rules of planning a good trip
1) Plan the accommodation stopovers
properly.
It
is advisable not to plan several one night stops in a row. Getting
a good rest is essential if you would like to have a relaxed
holiday and be able to take in a vast amount of new scenery.
All accommodations en-route should be clean, have friendly staff
and comply with your wishes.
2)
Take time to explore.
Where required and if suitable, we plan enough time for you
to take time to explore. However, it is impossible to explore
such a large area completely in the time most travellers have
at their disposal. Our philosophy is to rather see less and
experience more.
3)
Distances travelled should be feasible.
In general roads in South Africa and Namibia of a very high
standard. Even the unsealed roads of Namibia are mostly of a
high standard and driveable by normal car. It is very important
however to plan the distances properly and take into consideration
all possible conditions. Not only the terrain you drive through
but also scenic stops may determine what a driveable distance
is. We regularly travel throughout the region and have years
of experience to offer our clients when planning a trip.
