Elephants in Tsavo West National Park In Kenya

Safari Holidays

Big Five game safaris, evenings in relaxing lodges, open-air cruising and nature at its most primal

Embark on the ultimate African safari with our expertly designed tours, offering the perfect blend of luxury, wildlife, and breathtaking landscapes. From the legendary Serengeti and Maasai Mara, to the lush Okavango Delta in Botswana and the dramatic Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, our safaris bring you up close to nature’s most incredible spectacles.

South Africa and Kenya offer some of the most diverse safari experiences. Explore Kruger National Park, home to the Big Five, or take in the dramatic landscapes of Pilanesberg and Addo Elephant Park. In Kenya, witness the breathtaking plains of the Maasai Mara, explore Amboseli with its iconic views of Mount Kilimanjaro, or visit Lake Nakuru, famous for its flamingos and rhino population.

Whether you're marveling at Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Crater, or gliding through Botwana's Chobe River on a boat safari, every experience is designed for unforgettable moments.

For a touch of relaxation, unwind on some of Africa’s most stunning beaches. Whether it’s the powder-white sands of Zanzibar, the unspoiled shores of Mozambique, the turquoise lagoons of Mauritius, or the golden coastline of Mombasa, our itineraries offer the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.

Travel in comfort with handpicked luxury lodges and tented camps, expert guides, and seamless itineraries that ensure an immersive and stress-free safari experience. Our safari holidays combine exquisite scenery, up-close encounters and a glimpse of nature at its most wild. Consider it the ultimate antidote to the artificialities of modern life - just the reset you're looking for!
