Where to Begin

Planning a Safari Is Complicated. We Make It Simple.

A safari is a significant trip, and the choices are rarely obvious from a website. Which reserve, which lodge, which month, malaria or not, how many nights, and how to combine it all. Getting those decisions right is the difference between a good trip and a great one.

That is the part we handle. Every itinerary is built from time spent in the reserves themselves, which means we will say plainly when a lodge is wrong for you, or when the month you have picked is the wrong one.

What Sets Us Apart

Why Wild Moments

Reserve first, lodge second

We start with which reserve suits what you want to see, then find the right lodge inside it. Most itineraries are built the other way round, and it shows.

First-hand knowledge

We have stayed at the lodges, driven the traversings and worked alongside the guides. The advice you get is based on experience, not a supplier list.

Planned from scratch

There are no set packages. Every itinerary is built around your dates, your budget and the things you most want to see and do.

No booking fees

Our planning costs you nothing extra. We are paid by the lodges, so you pay the same rate as booking direct, with the planning and support included.

Answered personally

Every enquiry is answered by Jarryd, usually within 24 hours, and the same person looks after you before, during and after your trip.

Honest about trade-offs

We will tell you when a reserve is not Big Five, when a season is wrong for what you want, or when something is not worth the money. Trust matters more than a sale.

The Process

How It Works

  1. 1

    Tell Us Your Vision

    Share your dates, who is travelling, a rough budget and the experiences that matter most. You do not need to have it all figured out.

  2. 2

    We Design Your Trip

    We match you with the right reserves, lodges and timing, and put together an itinerary with honest reasoning behind every choice.

  3. 3

    We Refine It Together

    Nothing is fixed until you are happy. We adjust the route, the lodges and the pace until the trip feels right for you.

  4. 4

    You Travel, Fully Supported

    We handle the bookings, flights and transfers, and stay reachable throughout. You focus on the safari.

Jarryd du Preez, founder of Wild Moments
The Person Behind It

Planned by Jarryd

Wild Moments is deliberately small. Jarryd plans each trip himself, answers every enquiry and stays reachable while you are away, so the person who put the trip together is the person who sorts it out when a flight moves.

What you get is one person's judgement on where you should be and when. Push back on any of it and you will get a straight answer.

Our Promise

No Booking Fees, Ever

The price you pay is the same as booking the lodge yourself. Our planning, knowledge and support come at no extra cost, because we are paid by the lodges, not by you. There is no catch and no obligation in getting in touch.

Ready When You Are

Start the Conversation

Tell us roughly when you would like to travel and what you are hoping for. We will take it from there, and there is no cost or commitment in asking.
