HOME OF LUXURY AFRICAN WILDLIFE SAFARIS

Africa is a place of immense natural beauty. As the cradle of civilisation, it is home to some of the most ancient and interesting cultures in the world and there is nowhere on earth where wildlife puts on a greater show. Here you can come eye-to-eye with the most astonishing animals that walk our planet, from the notorious ‘big five’ to the two-million-strong herds of wildebeest that roam East Africa’s savannahs, the mountain gorillas in the rainforests of Rwanda and Uganda and the unique lemurs of Madagascar. This remarkable continent also contains snowy mountain peaks, colossal deserts, pristine coral reefs and an exquisite coastline.
Discover our bespoke African wildlife safaris and cultural journeys.

DESTINATIONS YOU'LL LOVE

Botswana

Luxury experience

Botswana

Safe, peaceful & democratic, with a Smart Traveller green stamp of approval, Botswana stands as a pillar of the African community, leading the way with visionary politics, sustainability and conservation. These factors, combined with some of the most pristine wilderness and highest game densities in the world, make it an aspirational African wildlife safari destination.

Egypt

In the footsteps of pharaohs

Egypt

For thousands of years Egypt has been the playground of emperors and kings. Great civilisations have risen from its sandy interiors and the Nile continues to bring life to an otherwise barren land. Much of the scenery has barely changed since biblical times and the entire nation is wrapped in an ancient mysticism which has beguiled writers and romantics for centuries.

Ethiopia

The land that time forgot

Ethiopia

Ethiopia is an awe-inspiring and intriguing forgotten land. Its story begins with the emergence of early human-ape homins including the famous ‘Lucy’ and its history is laden with the treasures of great empires and faiths. The rich tribal culture is testament to the pride of a country that has never been officially colonised.

Kenya

The Original Wildlife Safari Destination

Kenya

Kenya is the home of the original African wildlife safari (the word ‘Safari’ means journey in KiSwahili) and is still, quite deservedly, the continent's most iconic destination for African wildlife safaris. One-tenth of all land in Kenya is designated as national parks and reserves, the most famous being the Maasai Mara, which plays host to the annual migration of thousands of wildebeest and zebra.

Madagascar

Wild, weird and wonderful

Madagascar

Madagascar’s African wildlife safaris showcase some of the most peculiar life forms on the planet. The wild National Parks teem with dancing lemurs, aye-ayes, fossas (a cat-like predator), rare birds, colourful chameleons, frogs, lizards, butterflies and a host of weird and wonderful insects and plants – a staggering 80% of which are only found on this island. Out-of-the-ordinary African wildlife safaris found here!

Malawi

Bush & Beach Adventure

Malawi

Malawi boasts undiscovered scenery, wildlife strongholds and adventurous activities to rival any of its neighbouring, and better known, African wildlife safari destinations. The Great Rift Valley has gauged an immense chasm down the eastern flank which now, brimming with crystal clear water, forms Africa’s third-largest lake: Lake Malawi.

Morocco

Exotic colours, history and culture

Morocco

A brief overview describing Morocco's highlights would outweigh War and Peace and still only skim the surface. The exotic colours, history and culture that have attracted travellers from time immemorial are still vibrantly visible and unlike anything else Africa has to offer. 

Mozambique

The pearl of the Indian Ocean

Mozambique

Mozambique’s beaches are the main pull for most travellers. Endless swathes of white sand sweep dreamily along the coastline, palm-fringed freshwater beaches hug Lake Malawi and the Quirimbas Archipelago is a remote paradise of azure waters, mangrove forests and community-based conservation projects.

Exellent and wonderful, reaching way above expectations.

Elizabeth Mackintosh
