Safari & Wildlife Journeys
Wild encounters, thoughtfully planned from end to end
From classic game drives to remote wildlife conservancies, Little Travel House matches you with trusted ground operators, authentic lodges, and seamless connecting logistics.
An immersive journey matched to your style and pace
A safari is a deeply personal journey into some of the world's most breathtaking wildernesses. Whether you are drawn to open savannah game drives, riverboat safaris, or guided bush walks, success lies in choosing the right region, season, and camp style.
Andrew and Cathy founded Little Travel House in 2021 with the core belief that travel was becoming more intimate: smaller groups, tailored arrangements, and expert local guides. That focus on personal attention ensures your safari is never a generic package.
As an independent agency affiliated with the Envoyage Group, an arm of the Flight Centre Travel Group, we combine personalized local service in Victoria with global buying power, airfare contracts, and established supplier connections.
Safari travel suits travellers who
- Want to experience authentic wildlife in natural habitats
- Appreciate knowledgeable local guides and expert trackers
- Prefer intimate lodges or small tented camps over big resorts
- Value a fully managed itinerary handling light aircraft & transfers
- Are planning a milestone celebration, family trip, or bucket-list journey
