Highlights


  • 3 iconic destinations in one safari – providing access to vastly different landscapes and views, including Mount Kilimanjaro.

  • Astonishing wildlife diversity – In addition to the Big 5 and 'Samburu special five' listed elsewhere, other iconic species to look out for include cheetah, wild dog, hyena, and so much more. For those travelling from August to October, there is the added attraction of dramatic scenes as the huge herds of wildebeests and zebras cross the Mara River - despite the considerable risk of drowning and crocodile attacks.

  • Family-friendly activities – from the famous Karen Blixen Museum and nearby Nairobi attractions to game drives, bush walks, bush meals, visits to a cooking school, bead project and optional extra activities such as Maasai community visits and hot air balloon rides. Activities aimed at kids include guided nature walks, bow and arrow shooting, fire making, bead making, spoor casting, distributing seed-balls using catapults and slingshots, swimming, camel rides and feeding fish.

  • Short flights between parks – to maximise your time on safari and reduce the boredom factor with the kids.

African safari

Why choose us to craft your safari?

Handcrafted experiential safaris since 1991.

Travel in Africa is about knowing when and where to go, and with whom. A few weeks too early/late or a few kilometres off course, and you could miss the greatest show on Earth. And wouldn’t that be a pity?
