Venture into the African wilds for your own Attenborough moments
The best safari holidays are filled with immersive wildlife experiences. Picture yourself moving through sun-soaked savanna and luscious forest to spot animals in their natural habitat, all while guided by experts who can reveal the secrets of the wilderness.
Big cats – from lions to leopards – prowl and play in scenes straight out of a wildlife documentary. Watering holes draw creatures great and small, including splashing elephants, hulking hippos, slender giraffes and exotic birds. You can track gorillas in the mist and chimpanzees in the trees for a moment in the company of our close cousins, or follow the Great Migration of wildebeest as they complete the dramatic circuit between the Masai Mara and the Serengeti.
Across our group and tailor-made Africa wildlife tours, we use qualified safari guides who know the national parks and private concessions like the backs of their hands. More than just keeping you safe, these experts read the land to maximise your chances of seeing the animals you came for, and ensure your adventure is as educational as it is inspirational.
Our safari holidays prioritise sustainability, helping to support local communities and fund conservation efforts that reduce harmful practices such as poaching, trading, and habitat destruction. We strive to make your safari more than an opportunity to admire nature at its most spectacular – for it to be a lease of life for wildlife under pressure.
