New Zealand News

Not the first thing you’d expect to read in an African safari newsletter! But John and Nicci are currently in New Zealand, visiting Nicci’s place of birth and her dear Mum.



They are also looking at growing their newly-formed Guided New Zealand business in terms of expanding the accommodation and activities portfolio. Daughter, Briar, who manages the business from down under, will be joining them in April on an intensive tour of the best that New Zealand has to offer and making notes of all the exceptional places to see and stay and things to do.

They’ll be meeting up with new and old friends throughout and can’t wait to pass on their ideas!

If a trip to New Zealand, a land that is breathtaking in its natural beauty and wonderfully welcoming, appeals to you, please contact Briar.

Visit the Guided New Zealand website for more information.

Signature Safaris

When John and Nicci looked at creating a Signature Safaris collection, they were cognisant of retaining the classic essence of a Stevens’ safari. And so they got hold of a few friends and the Stevens Signature Safaris, lead by people John knows and respects in some of Africa’s most exciting locations - and in wonderful world-class camps and lodges – were born.



These safaris are more affordable than a bespoke safari and we urge you to take a look! Some offer active adventure, others unusual ways of taking a safari – see what you think and get hold of Nicci – or Laura - if you’re interested in finding out more! !

A special Thank You to the Sigg Family of Switzerland who have shared pictures of their 2011 African Safari with us!

It’s time to shake off the reasons not to follow our dreams and do something brave and adventurous, non-conformist, something that will widen our horizons and strengthen our spirits! Whatever it is, it could be life-changing, something that connects us to the world in a deep and sacred way.



Of course, you’ll find all of this and more – on an African Safari. Why not make it your resolution to live the dream, change your life, and go wild?

We have plenty of exciting ideas for you to ensure that a dream safari goes to the top of your list! Check out our Wish List Must-See in this issue, plus a great itinerary that goes with it!

John Stevens Safaris has been getting many enquiries for family safaris, lately.

A fantastic idea for family or group safaris is environmental or community work. The Stevens’ friends at Imire Rhino and Wildlife Conservation or Bomani Safari Camp in Hwange National Park (ask us for information on this, if you are interested in rolling up your sleeves and helping out) would welcome your involvement and your family will benefit tremendously from the interaction and giving of time, energy and resources to the children and our precious wildlife and environments.



Victoria Falls provides the ultimate adventure playground for older children with energy to burn – the many outdoor activities here include white water rafting and bungee jumping, “Flight of the Angels” helicopter rides and elephant rides.

From Victoria Falls, a great central hub, we are able to arrange for you to head off in any direction you choose, whether it’s in Zimbabwe – Mana Pools or Hwange National Park, perhaps – or nearby Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, Kenya or Tanzania.
Check out our Signature Safaris, too, for some great ideas, or visit our Destinations page.
