Private safaris · Tanzania and Kenya

The light arrives first.

Small camps, local guides and no more than six guests in any vehicle. Move the light across the page, the way dawn crosses the plain.

The route

From a first call to the first sunrise.

Four stops on the way. Scroll and follow the line.

  1. Day 1

    The call

    A free planning call. You tell us what you hope to see, and we ask the awkward questions about pace and comfort.

  2. Week 1

    The draft

    A day-by-day itinerary with camps, costs and honest options, written by a designer who was there last month.

  3. Month 2

    The plan

    Confirmed camps, a briefing pack and a packing list that fits in one soft bag.

  4. Day 0

    The airstrip

    Your guide meets you on the runway with cold water and the day's first bird.

Field notes

A season on the plains.

Six pages from the guides' notebooks, set side by side. Scroll to turn them.

Where the day starts: a vehicle, a flask and a long horizon.

Morning drive

The best light and the most active animals. Your guide reads the tracks and takes you to them.

Giraffes grazing near the road

Bush breakfast

A table set under an acacia, eggs from a skillet and nothing but wind for company.

A thatched lounge in a safari camp

Camp lunch

A long lunch, a quiet hour and a nap in the shade while the plains go still.

Elephants crossing a track

Evening drive

The light turns gold and the predators wake. This is when the elephants come to the water.

A camp and pool lit at dusk

Dinner by the fire

Lanterns, a four-course supper and the sound of the night beginning around you.

Ready when you are.

Travellers

In their words.

“Our guide, Joseph, could read the grass like a book. We watched a leopard for an hour and nobody else was there.”

“Amara designed a trip around our daughter's love of elephants. Every day was a surprise and nothing felt rushed.”

Daniel P.Family safari

“The camp was luxurious without being loud. I fell asleep to lions and woke to coffee on the verandah.”
