East Africa Safaris
On request we visit the beautiful countries of Kenya and Tanzania on safari. In these mesmerizing lands, at the right time of year (September and October) we witness the great migration and go in search of The Big Five in some beautiful locations including Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti and the Maasai Mara. The gently rolling plains will take you far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
A fascinating taste of two African gems
We have handpicked camps and lodges to stay in when we visit East Africa on safari. During the day you’ll head out into the wild to reconnect with nature led by experienced private safari guides Graham Cooke and Steve Mortimer who have over 75 combined years of experience tracking and looking for animals. And at night we’ll gather round the campfire to reflect on our day in the bush and share stories of the wild.
To create a once-in-a-lifetime safari experience for you and after many years of visiting Kenya and Tanzania, we have created a shortlist for the must visit destinations.
Please note Kenya and Tanzania are only visited on request. If we are creating a safari itinerary for you, they will not be included unless specified.
Below you’ll discover more about the places we visit on our East Africa safaris:
Maasai Mara - Kenya
An area of preserved savannah wilderness in southwestern Kenya, the Maasai Mara is famous for being one of the best wildlife viewing destinations in East Africa. It is one of only a few places on earth to have a premier conservation status, meaning wildlife and their ecosystem are highly protected here. At 1,510 square kms, it is home to around 600 species of bird and over 95 species of mammals. The Maasai tribe are the nomadic inhabitants of the area and ‘Mara’ is their word for spotted, the area has this name thanks to the shrubs, bushes and flat topped acacia trees that dot the landscape.
The Lakes and National Parks - Kenya
Discover the enchanting beauty of the Kenya lakes and national parks. Home to diverse wildlife including iconic flamingoes, the breathtakingly beautiful vistas will provide an unforgettable experience. Lakes and national parks we can visit include Nakuru, Naivasha, Baringo and Bogoria. Naivasha National Park
Samburu - Kenya
In the shadow of Mount Kenya you’ll find the Samburu National Reserve. Home to The Samburu People, a Nilotic tribe of north-central Kenya, the Samburu Reserve is known for diverse wildlife such as lions, elephants, zebra and giraffe to name a few. The reserves is also home to around 350 species of bird and is well worth a trip if you’re searching for safaris off the beaten track.
Amboseli - Kenya
Found in southern Kenya, Amboseli National Park is home to large elephant herds and the most incredible views of Mount Kilimanjaro in neighbouring Tanzania. Vast plains and swamps inhabited by giraffes, zebras and cheetahs plus hundreds of bird species can be found here.
Laikipia - Kenya
Almost the size of Wales, the protected plains of Laikipia are home to half of Kenya’s Black Rhino population. They’re joined by wild dogs, Grevy’s Zebra and thousands of elephants. The crowds are still yet to flock to Laikipia creating a truly unique and distinctly private safari experience.
Ngorongoro Crater - Tanzania
Moving over to Tanzania, the Ngorongoro Crater sits in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. It is the largest, intact volcanic caldera on earth thought to be over two million years old. The crater has become a natural sanctuary for many large mammals in Africa and The Big Five can be found here.
Serengti - Tanzania
One of Tanzania’s most famous National Parks, the Serengeti is known for the Great Migration of zebra, wildebeest and antelope, to name just a few of the herds that pass through the plains. This legendary land is a vast mass of untouched African wilderness that will take your breath away and stop you in your tracks.
