EXCLUSIVE SAFARIS
Our Most Celebrated Journeys Across East Africa
Every safari we create is special. But some journeys have become guest favorites year after year. These are the itineraries that receive the most rave reviews, the most repeat bookings, and the most heartfelt thank you notes. They are not simply tours. They are carefully orchestrated adventures that showcase the absolute best of East Africa’s wildlife, landscapes, and cultures. Whether you are a first time traveler or a seasoned safari enthusiast, our Featured Safaris offer something for everyone. Each one has been tested, refined, and perfected through years of experience. Each one is ready to welcome you with open arms and unforgettable moments.
Why These Safaris Stand Out
You may wonder what makes a safari “featured” on our website. The answer is simple. These are the journeys that consistently deliver extraordinary experiences. They balance adventure with comfort. They visit the most iconic destinations at the optimal times of year. They stay in lodges that our guests rave about long after they return home. And they are led by guides who know these landscapes better than their own backyards. When you choose a featured safari, you are choosing a proven winner. You are choosing peace of mind. And you are choosing an adventure that has delighted hundreds of travelers before you.
The Great Migration Safari
Witness the Greatest Wildlife Spectacle on Earth
There is nothing else like it on the planet. More than two million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle thunder across the plains of the Serengeti and Masai Mara in an endless search for fresh grass. Rivers are crossed. Predators lurk. Calves are born. And through it all, you will have a front row seat. Our Great Migration Safari is timed to coincide with the dramatic river crossings, when herds plunge into crocodile infested waters in a frenzy of dust and spray. You will stay in exclusive tented camps that move with the migration, ensuring you are always close to the action. Expert guides will share insights that transform the spectacle into a story. And you will return home with images burned into your memory forever. 7 days from $4,950 per person.
Uganda Gorilla and Chimpanzee Trek
A Primate Adventure Like No Other
Deep in the misty forests of Uganda, something magical awaits. Endangered mountain gorillas live among the volcanic slopes of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, and you have the rare privilege of spending an hour in their presence. The trek is not easy. The terrain can be steep and muddy. But when you finally come face to face with a silverback, his intelligent eyes meeting yours, every drop of sweat becomes worthwhile. This featured safari pairs the gorilla trek with chimpanzee tracking in Kibale National Park, home to the highest density of primates in all of Africa. You will walk through ancient forests, listen to the hoots and screams of chimps in the canopy, and gain a profound appreciation for our closest relatives. Comfortable eco lodges and expert guides ensure that your adventure is as smooth as it is life changing. 6 days from $3,890 per person.
Big Five Luxury Safari
The Classic Safari, Elevated
Lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino. The Big Five have long been the holy grail of safari enthusiasts. Our featured Big Five Luxury Safari takes you to the best wildlife reserves in Kenya and Tanzania, where these magnificent animals roam freely. You will stay in award winning lodges where personal butlers anticipate your every need. You will dine on gourmet meals prepared by talented chefs. And you will explore the savannah in private 4×4 vehicles, guided by naturalists who know exactly where to find each member of the Big Five. From the elephants of Amboseli with Kilimanjaro as their backdrop to the rhinos of Ngorongoro Crater, every day brings new wonders. This is luxury without compromise and wildlife without crowds. 10 days from $7,200 per person.
Rwanda Primate and Volcanoes Expedition
Intimate Encounters in the Land of a Thousand Hills
Rwanda may be small, but its natural wonders are immense. This featured safari takes you deep into Volcanoes National Park, where mist covered mountains shelter the last remaining mountain gorillas. Your trek will be guided by expert trackers who have spent years learning the habits of each gorilla family. The moment you come face to face with a silverback is one you will never forget. But Rwanda offers more than gorillas. You will also track golden monkeys, their bright orange coats flashing against the green bamboo. You will visit the grave of Dian Fossey, the legendary primatologist who dedicated her life to protecting these animals. And you will end your journey on the serene shores of Lake Kivu, where volcanic mountains reflect in calm waters and you can finally catch your breath. 5 days from $4,200 per person.
Kenya and Tanzania Combo: Plains to Coast
From the Savannah to the Spice Island
Why choose between a world class safari and a tropical beach retreat when you can have both? This featured safari begins on the savannah, where you will witness elephants marching across the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli. You will track lions across the Serengeti and descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a natural amphitheater teeming with wildlife. Then, just when your soul is full of dust and wonder, we fly you to Zanzibar. Here, turquoise waters lap at powder white beaches. Ancient stone towns whisper tales of sultans and spice traders. Coral reefs beckon snorkelers and divers. And you can finally relax, letting the rhythm of the Indian Ocean wash over you. This is the perfect itinerary for honeymooners, luxury travelers, and anyone who believes that adventure should always be followed by rest. 12 days from $6,500 per person.
Uganda Source of the Nile and Murchison Falls
Where Water and Wilderness Collide
Uganda is blessed by water. The mighty Nile River, the longest river in the world, begins its epic journey here. Our featured Source of the Nile and Murchison Falls Safari celebrates this life giving element. You will stand at the precise spot where the Nile emerges from Lake Victoria, feeling the weight of history beneath your feet. Then you will travel to Murchison Falls National Park, where the Nile explodes through a narrow seven meter gorge in a thunderous cascade of spray and power. From a boat, you will watch hippos yawn, crocodiles bask, and elephants drink along the riverbanks. From a safari vehicle, you will search for lions, giraffes, and buffalo on the open plains. This journey is shorter but no less spectacular, perfect for those with limited time who still crave the full spectrum of Uganda’s wonders. 5 days from $2,800 per person.
Rwanda and Uganda Primate Odyssey
The Ultimate Double Gorilla Experience
For the true primate enthusiast, one gorilla trek is never enough. This featured safari offers the rare opportunity to track mountain gorillas in both Rwanda and Uganda on a single journey. You will begin in Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, where the trekking is shorter but the terrain dramatic. Then you will cross into Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, home to nearly half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas. The landscapes differ. The trekking experiences differ. And the privilege of spending two separate, sacred hours with two different gorilla families is an experience reserved for only the most dedicated travelers. Add chimpanzee trekking in Kibale or Nyungwe, and you have completed the ultimate primatology pilgrimage. This is not a trip. It is a calling. 9 days from $6,800 per person.
Tanzania Walking Safari and Ngorongoro Crater
Feel the Earth Beneath Your Feet
Most safaris keep you inside a vehicle. Our featured Walking Safari invites you to step out. Led by an armed guide and a naturalist, you will walk slowly and deliberately through the wilderness of Tarangire or Lake Manyara. You will learn to read animal tracks, identify medicinal plants, and feel the thrill of approaching wildlife on foot with respect and safety. Then, after days of walking and learning, you will descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most wildlife dense places on earth. Lions nap in the open grasslands. Rhinos graze undisturbed. Flamingos paint the soda lakes pink. This safari is for the adventurous soul, the traveler who wants not just to see Africa but to feel it. 7 days from $4,500 per person.
Kenya Off Road Adventure: Samburu and Laikipia
Hidden Gems of the Northern Frontier
While most travelers crowd the southern circuit, we invite you north to a Kenya few have seen. Samburu National Reserve is a landscape of dramatic contrasts: rugged mountains, dried riverbeds, and acacia forests that shelter wildlife found nowhere else in the country. Here, you will encounter the Samburu Special Five: the reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, Beisa oryx, and gerenuk. Then journey to the private conservancies of Laikipia, where community led conservation has restored wildlife populations and created exclusive, low impact safari experiences. Enjoy night game drives to spot elusive nocturnal creatures. Take walking safaris across private land. And experience the deep satisfaction of knowing your visit directly supports local communities and anti poaching efforts. This is safari as it should be: wild, uncrowded, and profoundly authentic. 8 days from $5,600 per person.
