I · Manifesto
A private support service for exceptional safaris and journeys in Africa.
Above all, Private Safari Guides by Excelsior & Courtesy is a private support service dedicated to your travels in Africa. We are by your side before, during and throughout your stay, bringing you assistance, advice, serenity and a trusted presence, from the first day to the last.
Far more than a simple journey, we offer you the peace of mind of reassuring, discreet and personalised human support, so that you can enjoy every single moment to the full.
Some destinations are discovered. Others are lived. Africa is one of those rare lands capable of leaving its mark on an entire lifetime.
Vast wild expanses, exceptional safaris, authentic encounters, fascinating cultures, tropical beaches and some of the most spectacular landscapes in the world: every itinerary becomes an experience rich in emotions and unforgettable memories.
At Private Safari Guides by Excelsior & Courtesy, we place more than thirty years of experience at the service of travellers wishing to discover Africa with serenity, elegance and confidence.
Our mission is simple: to watch discreetly over your well-being, to assist you and to smooth every step of your journey, giving you the freedom to live a great adventure to the full, in complete confidence.
II · Our philosophy
Neither agency nor tour operator. A presence you can trust.
We are neither a conventional travel agency nor a mere safari organiser. We offer personal, private support for travellers who wish to enjoy a trusted presence before, during and after their journey.
Our role is to ease, coordinate, anticipate and assist whenever needed — while respecting your freedom and your privacy.
