Safari. In Swahili, it means “long journey.” And with these breath-taking trips, we’ve brought safari back to its adventurous and thrill-seeking origins.
After all, we work from the assumption that a safari will mean many things to many different people. We’re not prescriptive or restrictive. No, we’re here to help you design your perfect wilderness escape, whether you want to trek to the gorillas of Rwanda or witness the spectacle of the Great Migration. Tell us your obsessions, your dreams and your passions, and we’ll do the rest.
Ultimately, these are truly tailored trips executed with flair, fun and flourish. Nothing is presumed. Least of all you.
From groups of three to entire clans, a family safari is exciting – but a lot of work to research. That why we’ll do all the heavy lifting and design your safari around the size and needs of your family, while getting a grip on all the planning, details and logistics. Tailoring your destination to the needs, ages and size of your group, while suggesting an itinerary keeps everyone happy.
From safari on foot to safari by canoe, this safari tour is a great fit for families with teens in tow. Spend your days on the lookout for endangered species, and your nights tucking into some home-cooked food under the stars.
VIEW TRIPBring the plains of Kenya’s Maasai Mara and Laikipia to life, suitable for families of all ages. Stop by Nairobi National Park on the way home for sightings of rhino against a unique city backdrop.
VIEW TRIPEscape the Kruger crowds and instead head to an abundance of malaria-free areas, making this African safari tour perfect for families with young ones. Throw in a final stop in Cape Town, if only for the food.

Africa is a vast continent, from rolling savannah and tropical islands to snow-capped mountains and moon-like deserts. So, don’t forget to ask us about these more unusual safari destinations.
History, landscape, culture and wildlife. We’ll set the scene, before introducing you to the star act – the gorillas of Volcanoes National Park.
VIEW TRIPUganda, for now, has very low levels of tourism. That may change over the years, as more travellers become aware of it’s incredible primate sanctuaries and mountain treks.
VIEW TRIPLife is easy and laidback on the island paradise of Madagascar. Here, the jungle is king. It’s a safari with a tropical twist. Expect more wildlife than you can shake a palm frond at.
VIEW TRIPIf safari is about encountering animals in the wild, then it’s also true that there’s no single way to ‘do’ a safari. From river pack rafting to hot air balloon, there exists a world of options to choose from. Stick with one or mix and match to your heart’s content
On safari, the accommodation is integral to the overall experience – particularly when your accommodation gets you up close and personal with the animal kingdom. That’s why we’ve listed the main types of accommodation you can experience during your African adventure and from these we’re confident that one or a combination will suit you.
What’s more, we have incredibly close relationships with every property we use. We’ve stayed there. We love it. And we know you’ll love it too.
Our safari team are well-traveled and hyper passionate about Africa and the animal kingdom, specializing in everywhere from Botswana to Zambia (and everywhere in between).
