Safari experiences

When the rains beckon, the enormous herds of Maasai Mara and Serengeti wildebeest go in search of better grazing, but there are dangerous rivers to cross and big cats lurking everywhere. This never-ending circular journey is the Greatest Show on Earth.

The Big Five - lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes and rhinos - are Africa's movers and shakers. They are either apex predators or important landscape engineers, and their mere presence ensures that our wild spaces remain so.

There is nothing quite as satisfying after a thrilling wildlife safari as that toes-in-the-sand feeling, a dip in warm azure-blue water to wash off the dust, and chilling under an umbrella with a book and your favourite beverage in hand ...

How about exclusive use of a safari villa, personal game drive vehicle and guide, helicopter transfers and unlimited time at those extraordinary wildlife encounters? Trust us to secure everything you desire to craft your dream safari.

Invest in your children and grandkids with safe, enriching safaris at carefully selected family-friendly lodges. Expect patient, engaging guides who love working with children, along with fun, enriching activities such as bush treasure hunts, junior ranger programs, and cultural village visits.

Celebrate your love with an exclusive honeymoon safari in Africa - the beginning of your shared story. Expect luxurious lodges and intimate tented camps in spellbinding locations, private candlelit dinners under the stars and toasting the sunset as lions call nearby.

Gorilla trekking has been described by many of our safari guests as a life-changing experience. Time spent with this fellow great ape is a humbling and profoundly spiritual experience that should be at the top of your bucket list.

Spending time with chimpanzees - our closest genetic ancestors - is a humbling experience. Chimps are more active than gorillas, and finding them as they forage widely can be challenging. Once found, expect a fascinating encounter as they play, bicker, mate and care for their babies.

Going on a safari is an adventure of a lifetime, but for women, the prospect of travelling alone or in a group can be daunting. Women have different concerns and needs than men when it comes to travel, and taking precautions and planning ahead can make all the difference.

Going on safari with a professional photographer offers an incredible opportunity to elevate your photography skills. Enjoy extended time at sightings, customised vehicle setups, and small-group intimacy that prioritises photographic opportunities over rigid schedules.

Malaria-free safaris are ideal for families with young children, honeymooners, and first-time travellers. These safaris combine world-class adventure with peace of mind—no need for anti-malarial medication, just pure safari bliss.

Walking in the bushveld with an experienced guide is a great way to learn about the details of nature - the tell-tale signs that animals leave when they pass by, and evidence of violent encounters between predators and prey. Be alert to the sounds and smells we miss on game drive - a thrilling experience.

Africa has nearly 2,500 bird species, and ticking them off is a popular focus for passionate birdwatchers. We craft tailored itineraries based on your target bird list - be they rare and endemic species, or the at times bizarre and odd birds that call Africa home.

Art lessons while on safari are a fun way to be creative during your holiday. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned artist, personal tuition during game drives and afterwards back at the lodge will improve your art technique and ensure that your future safaris are even more rewarding.

Unlike a traditional wildlife safari, a cultural journey is about the people of Africa. Expect authentic, respectful exchange — meaningful encounters that foster understanding, break stereotypes, and celebrate the incredible diversity of African cultures.
