Thinking about an African adventure? Whether it’s your first or fifth trip, having a trusted U.S. based expert by your side makes all the difference.

Here’s how Family Expeditions takes the stress out of planning your African adventure:

1.  The Perfect Lodge for Your Safari

Not all lodges and outfitters are created equal.  Is it a 10 or is it a 5?  We know the difference because we have been there!  We don’t work with 5’s.

Your hunting style, trophy goals, activity preferences, and personal needs all matter when choosing the right destination. We personally vet every lodge we recommend, ensuring you have the best possible experience. Whether you’re looking for a classic tented safari, a luxury lodge with five-star service, or a rugged, remote hunting camp, we match you with the best fit.

Because we’ve built trusted long term relationships with the best outfitters in Africa, you’ll enjoy top-tier hospitality, prime hunting areas, and an experience tailored specifically to you.

2.  Easy, Reliable Communication – No Frustrating Delays

African outfitters often operate in remote areas where communication is spotty at best. Many rely on satellite connections, and they may be off grid for weeks at a time. When you have questions about your trip you don’t want to wait days for an answer.

With a U.S. based representative, you have immediate, reliable communication whenever you need it. We’re here before, during, and after your trip to ensure everything runs smoothly.

3.  Stress-Free Travel & Firearms Assistance – Avoid Costly Mistakes

Traveling with firearms? African gun laws are strict, and every country has different regulations. Our veteran team helps you navigate every form, permit, and customs process so you don’t run into delays or, worse, risk having your firearm confiscated. We also coordinate flights, travel insurance, and VIP meet-and-greet services to ensure a seamless journey.

Even if you’re not bringing firearms, having a team working on all of your flights for you takes significant stress off of you.

4.  Packing Like a Pro – No Room for Guesswork

Packing for Africa isn’t like packing for a typical vacation. Will you be deep in the wilderness of Mozambique? You’ll need Avon’s Skin So Soft to keep tsetse flies at bay. Hunting in the Kalahari? Proper desert boots and lightweight clothing are essential. What about malaria zones? We guide you on whether you’ll need preventive medication.

We’ll make sure you pack smart—because there are no convenience stores in the bush! Having a well-thought-out packing list tailored to your trip is critical to your comfort and success.

5.  Financial Security & Peace of Mind – Protect Your Investment

Booking through Family Expeditions means your deposits are secure. You don’t have to worry about wiring overseas as we take care of that for you – which is a hassle to say the least.

Plus, we ensure you have the opportunity to purchase proper travel insurance and emergency services like Ripcord, so if an unexpected situation arises—whether it’s a canceled flight, a medical emergency, or a last-minute change in travel restrictions—you have a solid backup plan to protect your investment.

6.  A Seamless, Worry-Free Experience – Focus on Adventure, Not Logistics

This is your dream trip, not a time for stress. Why spend months researching regulations, worrying about paperwork, or second-guessing travel plans?

With Family Expeditions, you have expert guidance from start to finish. We’ve been there, we know the outfitters personally, and we ensure every detail is handled so you can fully enjoy your African adventure.

Africa is thrilling, addictive, and ever-changing. Having a U.S. expert in your corner means you can focus on the experience—not the logistics. Let’s make your dream safari effortless!
