A safari in Africa is both internal and external and one that overcomes the inherent disability in the person. More importantly, life takes on a new meaning, and the safari itself gives pride in accomplishment, and encourages you to take on new adventures and challenges, thus, helping to overcome fear. Victoria Safaris have successfully handled adventures for wheelchair travelers, small groups and slow walkers. Our personally escorted tours reflect a particular fondness for continued learning and cultural intrigue. Our experience and commitment to specialty travel allows us to design travel programs that harmonize unique needs and individual capabilities. Choose any tour from the special interest or adventure tours offered, and this will be designed to suit your pace, special medical needs and care.
