With so many options, destinations and experiences to be had, deciding on the perfect escape can be a complicated affair – here at 27 we take pride in making your booking experience simple and smooth.

We’ll start with a few questions about you, before matching you with the perfect properties, locations or experiences, design your ideal itinerary, organise your flights and transfers and send you off for the adventure of a lifetime. All you need do is let us know what your safari dreams are… we’ll do the rest.

WE’VE BEEN THERE

We know Africa, we have over two decades experience living, breathing and travelling throughout sub-Saharan Africa and have a trusted network of travel partners and colleagues in each of our offered destinations. If we don’t know it, we don’t book it – so there should never be any unwelcome surprises and if you do decide you want to change your trip whilst away, then we have the very best contacts to ensure that we make that happen for you seamlessly.

ATOL Protected

Your Financial Protection

We are an approved British Airways representative and hold our ATOL license No.10902

When you buy an ATOL protected flight or flight inclusive holiday from us you will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists what is financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong.

We, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL Certificate, will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where neither we nor the supplier are able to do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable).

If we, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL certificate, are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision of the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent (or your credit card issuer where applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme.

What To Bring

Many of our adventures involve light aircraft or helicopter transfers. For this reason we recommend soft bags/holdalls as hard cases are often not accepted on such flights. You will usually be subject to a personal allowance of 20kg plus hand luggage on light aircraft, but if you need more then do let us know and we’ll make sure that we make a plan for you.
For the perfect luggage and safari chic clothing options try The Safari Store – our personal favourite one-stop-shop for your African adventure.

Lightweight, neutral coloured clothing is recommended for most safari destinations and relaxed casual dress is acceptable in even the most exclusive properties. We don’t suggest taking hairdryers/straighteners or similar electrical items – many of our very best properties are ‘off the grid’ with limited electricity supply.
Whilst safes are available to use at all lodges and camps we recommend that you leave non-essential valuable items behind.
