Where we travel
Safari destinations
From the migration rivers of the Serengeti to the misty gorilla forests of Rwanda and the floodplains of the Okavango: these are the wild places we know from years of guiding, not guidebooks.
Two regions, one wild heart
Choose your Africa
East Africa is the classic safari of your imagination: the Great Migration thundering across the Serengeti and Masai Mara, flamingo-pink lakes in the Rift Valley, gorilla encounters in Rwanda and Uganda, and Kilimanjaro rising above it all.
Southern Africa trades the open plains for waterways and wilderness: the Okavango Delta's mokoro channels in Botswana and South Africa's Kruger, where Big Five sightings meet fine lodges and easy self-drive logistics.
Every itinerary we build is private and tailor-made: mix regions, add beach days in Zanzibar, or climb a mountain on the way.

There is no bad month
River crossings peak June to October, calving season fills the southern Serengeti in January and February, and the green season rewards photographers with dramatic skies and fewer vehicles. Pick your month and see exactly what's happening.
Open the month-by-month guideWhere to go on safari in Africa
For a first safari, Tanzania is the one we send most people to. The Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater sit a day's drive apart, and the migration is somewhere on those plains in every month. Kenya shares the same herds in the Masai Mara from July to October. Rwanda and Uganda are for mountain gorillas. South Africa pairs Kruger's Big Five with Cape Town. Botswana is water country: the Okavango Delta by boat and Chobe's elephants.

Questions
Choosing where to go
It depends on what you want to see. For the biggest herds and the most variety in one trip, Tanzania's Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. For river crossings with a shorter drive from the airport, Kenya's Masai Mara between July and October. For gorillas, Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park or Uganda's Bwindi. For a safari that ends in a city with vineyards and beaches, South Africa.
Yes. The common pairings are a Tanzania safari with a few days in Zanzibar, gorillas in Rwanda before or after the Serengeti, and Victoria Falls with the Okavango Delta and Chobe. Ask us and we will price the route as one trip.
