Robert and William Carr-Hartley hone a tradition of adventure that began perhaps with one of the very first "Safaris" - the epic hunting trip of a United States President, Theodore Roosevelt, ably guided by three eminent Hunter/Naturalists, none other than the legendary Frederick Courtney Selous, Sir William McMillan and Leslie Tarlton, heading a column of 500 Porters, all dressed in blue, most of whom wore their boots slung around their necks, and each carrying a 60 lb. Load which included just about everything but the kitchen sink as well as trophies from a staggering number of wild animals

The young men that have taken the place of those famous early Guides are equally as proficient, and perhaps even more so, because apart from being able to kill an animal quickly and cleanly if need be, they also make it their business to know everything about the wild environment in which they move - the way animals feel and think, their social organisation and habits, the sounds of nature and the songs of birds; the grasses, the trees, the insects and the reptiles. All are treated with sensitivity and respect. Those who embark one of these safaris will emerge better informed, their innermost soul enlightened and touched by those other beings that share our world.

 The Guides that escort the Carr-Hartley Safaris are more than just Guides; they are experienced Naturalists with Africa in their upbringing and in their blood. They will help you plan your Safari, answer all your questions, entertain you with tales that echo the heartbeat of this wild land and cater for your every whim. Unlike President Roosevelt, you will be pampered on Safari, you will be comfortable, and you will love every minute of an amazing wilderness experience encompassing the best that Africa has to offer in terms of wild places, wild animals, luxurious lodges and secluded camps.
