The site is built to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA, which is the technical standard (EN 301 549) behind the European Accessibility Act, Directive (EU) 2019/882, for consumer-facing online services.
Accessibility
Built to be used by everyone, and tested to check.
We want everyone to be able to read this site, plan a trip and get in touch, whatever device or assistive technology they use. This statement says what we have done, what we have checked, what we know is still short, and how to tell us about a problem.

Our target
What has been done
- Semantic HTML throughout: landmarks, one main heading per page, no skipped heading levels, real lists, real tables with headers, real buttons.
- Every colour pairing meets the AA contrast ratio in both the light and the dark theme, including the small text on buttons and badges.
- Everything works from the keyboard. A skip link is the first tab stop, focus is always visible, and the mobile menu opens, closes on Escape and returns focus to its button.
- The enquiry form labels every field, announces errors, links each error to its field and moves focus to the first problem.
- Images carry descriptive alternative text. Where a picture is still a placeholder, the alternative text says so rather than describing a photograph that is not there.
- Text can be resized to 200% and the page reflows without horizontal scrolling at every common screen width from 320 pixels up.
- Animation respects the reduced-motion setting: with it on, nothing moves.
- The site works without JavaScript. Frequently asked questions use the browser's own expand-and-collapse control, and the safari filter and the map are enhancements on top of content that is already there.
How it was tested
Every page was checked in Chromium, in both themes, with axe-core running the WCAG 2.1 A and AA rule sets, and reported no violations. Keyboard operation, zoom, reduced motion and reflow at eight screen widths were checked by hand.
Automated tools find a minority of real problems. The site has not yet been tested with a screen reader such as VoiceOver or NVDA, or by disabled users, and we say so rather than claim otherwise. Both are planned before launch.
Known limitations
- The comparison table of all eight safaris is wider than a phone screen and scrolls sideways inside its own box. The same information is available in the cards above it and on each safari page.
- The map on the contact page is provided by OpenStreetMap and is a third-party component; it may not be fully operable by keyboard or screen reader. The office location is given in text on the same page.
- The downloadable itinerary PDF may not be fully tagged for screen readers. Everything in it is also on the corresponding web page.
Accessibility on safari
A game drive means long hours in a 4x4 on rough tracks, early starts and cold mornings, and camps that are often reached across uneven ground. None of that rules anyone out, but it does shape what we plan. Tell us about mobility, sensory, dietary or other needs at the enquiry stage and we will say honestly what we can arrange: vehicle access, camps with step-free tents, shorter driving days, a pace that suits.
Tell us about a problem
