See Mother Nature’s stories come to life in iconic landscapes on an African safari
Our African safari holidays are divided into escorted small group safaris and independent tailor-made safaris – all you have to decide is how sociable or independent you want your holiday to be. On our escorted small group safaris you could take in the highlights of northern Tanzania, like the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater and rolling plains of the Serengeti, or discover Kenya’s awe-inspiring lakes, mountains and iconic wildlife reserves in style. Our independent safaris are a suggestion to get you started; we can help tailor-make your own itinerary with different accommodation and suggest our the best excursions and extensions. How you get around is part of the experience too – our 4x4 safaris guarantee you a front-row seat to the action and our fly-in safaris give you dazzling bird’s-eye views of your destination.
