East Africa Destinations

Destinations

Discover tailor-made safaris that bring you close to Africa's most remarkable wildlife, landscapes and cultures. From the great plains of Kenya and Tanzania to the forests of Rwanda and Uganda and the warm Indian Ocean coast, we design journeys that match how you like to travel, not the other way around.

A safari is more than a game drive, it's the rhythm of early mornings in camp, the silence before a lion roars, the soft light over endless plains and the stories shared around the fire at night.

We plan safaris across East Africa's most iconic parks and private conservancies, using guides and camps we know and trust. Whether you are travelling for the first time or returning for a fifth visit, we build each trip around your pace, interests and comfort level.

Best Places to Visit

From Kenya's iconic savannahs to the misty forests of Rwanda and Uganda, explore the famous safari locations across East Africa.

Safari Styles

Every safari is different. Choose the style that fits how you want to experience the wild.

Classic Lodge Safaris

Stay in comfortable lodges and tented camps with all the small luxuries that make safari days easy, good beds, hot showers, attentive staff and excellent guiding. Ideal for couples, groups of friends and families who want relaxed comfort and strong wildlife.

Flying Safaris

Use short scheduled or charter flights to link distant parks quickly, so you spend more time on safari and less time on the road. Perfect for shorter trips, special occasions and anyone who prefers a smoother pace.

Family Safaris

Flexible daily schedules, family suites and private vehicles where needed. We match you with patient guides who enjoy working with children and who turn every drive or walk into a lesson in tracking, birds and bushcraft.

Honeymoon & Romantic Safaris

Intimate camps, private dinners, scenic flights and time on quiet beaches. We balance shared adventure, game drives, bush walks, balloon flights, with space to slow down and be together.

Walking & Active Safaris

For travellers who want to feel the landscape at ground level, we offer guided walks in selected conservancies and parks, as well as camel-supported journeys, canoeing, cycling or day hikes where conditions allow.

Kenya

The birthplace of safari. Snow-capped mountains, golden savannahs, flamingo-filled lakes, pristine beaches and some of Africa's finest lodges and tented camps.

Kenya delivers the classic East African safari experience: dramatic game viewing from the comfort of amazing tented camps and lodges plus indulgent beach retreats and modern hotels to escape to after your safari. Head for top destinations like the Masai Mara, Amboseli National Park and Lamu Island and enjoy some of the most luxurious accommodation Kenya has to offer.

The safari bucket list for Kenya includes seeing the Great Migration in the legendary Masai Mara, Amboseli's unforgettable views of Mount Kilimanjaro and Samburu's leopards. Encounter fascinating cultures in authentic Masai villages and taste the flavours of Africa, India and Europe in the melting pot that is Swahili culture.

Rwanda

Africa's most accessible gorilla trekking and the pristine rainforests of the Virunga Volcanoes. Where Dian Fossey's legacy lives on.

Africa's easiest and most accessible gorilla trekking is the main draw card of a Rwandan safari. After arriving at the capital city of Kigali, you are only a few hours' drive away from the legendary Volcanoes National Park and its habituated but still wild gorilla families.

It was on the bamboo-covered slopes of Rwanda's Virunga Volcanoes that the late Dian Fossey studied the behaviour of the endangered mountain gorilla for 20 years, followed by the filmmakers who shot Gorillas in the Mist. Now small groups of privileged visitors can experience one of the most memorable wildlife encounters on earth, gorilla trekking through the pristine Virungas rainforest.

Afternoon

Another drive or a guided walk as the heat eases, often ending with sundowners on a ridge or beside a river.

Evening

Dinner under the stars and stories around the fire, with the sounds of the night carrying across the plains.
