Wildlife & Safari Holidays

The word “safari” is in fact a Swahili word meaning journey and wonderfully reflects the feeling of being out in the African wilderness, marvelling at the incredible wildlife and stunning landscapes that characterise the continent. Indeed, safari holidays can take many forms, from simple two or three-day extensions to wider trips, fully mobile camping safaris, luxury lodge-based ones, and anything in between. Our team is here to guide you through the myriad of options available to you and come up with the perfect safari experience to suit your needs.

The range of safari destinations can be daunting at best, but we are here to help decide where might be best for you. First-time safari goers often like to stick to the well-known and reliable game-viewing destinations, with South Africa’s Kruger National Park, Kenya’s Masai Mara, and the endless plains of Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park always popular. Sightings of Africa’s fabled “Big 5” of lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and buffalo are often a priority on first safaris so we can guide you on where to go accordingly. When you are looking to explore Africa in more depth we can also help get you off the beaten track, in to the wilds of southern and western Tanzania, create adventures through Zambia or Zimbabwe as well as showcasing some of South Africa’s secret safari spots. Primate safaris in Rwanda and Uganda, as well as parts of Tanzania, are another specialty of ours with a huge range of itineraries on offer. We will blend the best possible wildlife experience for you with the most appropriate places to stay to ensure the best possible wildlife trip.

For something a bit different, South and Central America offer a cornucopia of exotic creatures and breathtaking ecosystems. The Galápagos Islands, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a wildlife wonderland, home to unique species like giant tortoises, marine iguanas, and blue-footed boobies. Costa Rica's rainforests teem with vibrant biodiversity, where you can spot sloths, toucans, and colorful frogs. The Amazon Rainforest, stretching across multiple countries, is a hotbed of biodiversity with jaguars, macaws, and pink river dolphins. Venture into the Pantanal in Brazil, the world's largest tropical wetland, to witness caimans, capybaras, and a profusion of birdlife. In the high Andes of Peru, encounter alpacas, condors, and elusive pumas. South and Central America's wildlife destinations are a captivating mix of natural beauty and incredible fauna, offering thrilling experiences for all nature lovers.
