Not every trip to East Africa looks the same. Some travellers want ten hours a day in a vehicle chasing lion sightings, others want one carefully timed hour in a rainforest with gorillas, and a few just want a week on a beach afterwards. We build the trip around what you actually want, then handle the logistics behind it. Here are the ten shapes a safari with us tends to take.
Wildlife & Game Drive Safaris
Classic open-vehicle game viewing across the savannah parks, built around morning and evening drives when animals are moving. See wildlife safaris.
Gorilla Trekking Safaris
A permit, a ranger-led hike into the forest, and an hour with a wild mountain gorilla family in Uganda or Rwanda. See gorilla trekking safaris.
Wildebeest Migration Safaris
Following, or trying to follow, the herds through the Serengeti and Maasai Mara ecosystem across the calendar year. See migration safaris.
Luxury & High-End Safaris
Fly-in routings, private vehicles, and camps built for comfort rather than volume. See luxury safaris.
Mid-Range & Family Safaris
Comfortable lodges, sensible pacing, and itineraries that work for children as well as adults. See family safaris.
Honeymoon & Romantic Safaris
Private time in the bush, followed by a few days doing nothing in particular on Zanzibar. See honeymoon safaris.
Bird Watching Tours
Slower travel, longer stops, and a route built around what is calling rather than what is roaring. See birding safaris.
Cultural & Community Tours
Visits to Batwa, Maasai and Samburu communities, and further afield to Lalibela, arranged so the visit benefits the people hosting it. See cultural safaris.
Hiking & Adventure Safaris
Walking safaris, mountain treks and a day of whitewater on the Nile, for travellers who want to move under their own power for part of the trip. See hiking and adventure safaris.
Bush to Beach Safaris
Parks first, then Zanzibar: a way to close out a trip that has had you up before dawn most days. See bush to beach safaris.
