Tailor-made East African Holidays

The true safari isn't just about the 'Big Five', nor about the sophisticated lodging that is to be found in some of the most remote places on earth, from Zanzibar's white beaches to the heart of the Great Rift Valley. For while a great safari is often remembered for the rush of adrenaline-walking with elephant, watching hippo break the river's surface - it is also made up of elegant simplicity, of sundowners beneath broad acacias at the foot of Kilimanjaro. Led by East African safari specialists who have this continent running through their veins, such journeys are about rediscovering what it means to be free, to feel a sense of passion and experience the force of wilderness untouched by man.

Kenya

The birthplace of safari (meaning 'journey' in Swahili), romanticized in Out of Africa, immortalized in White Mischief,  Kenya offers all the history and mystery one craves of Africa, as well as the most diverse range of species and eco-systems within the continent. Famous for its stunning landscape, savannah rich with magnificent wildlife, pristine beaches and snow-capped mountains, it is home to ancient tribal civilizations, the Great Rift Valley and some of the most dramatic game viewing to be found anywhere, including the migration of over a million wildebeest to the Masai Mara.

Tanzania

From the endless plains of the Serengeti to the Ngorongoro Crater, from the white sand beaches to snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania offers some of the most memorable scenery in Africa. Home to the Great Migration, one of the single most impressive events on earth, this vast country is widely regarded as one of the best places to go on safari. But that's not all. From beach relaxation to climbing mist-covered mountains, trekking through remote wildernesses or horse riding safaris, Tanzania is the perfect choice for first-time visitors or die-hard Africa hands.

Rwanda

Deep in the very heart of Africa lies the 'land of a thousand hills'. Set at high altitude amidst a lush, undulating landscape of volcanic mountains, tropical savannah, sapphire lakes and rivers, Rwanda has long since recovered from the devastation of its genocide in the 1990's to embrace visitors once again and flaunt its bounty of ecological delights. Rwanda's ace card must unquestionably be its most famous inhabitant, the rare mountain gorilla, and no itinerary would be complete without an opportunity to sit amongst these magnificent primates in their natural environment.

Ethiopia

Culturally rich with a long established Orthodox Christian heritage in the north and the tribal traditions of the lowlands of the south, Ethiopia is perhaps one of the most surprising of African destinations. From the cool highlands of the Simien Mountains and the Christian and Islamic heritage sites of Gondar, Lalibela, Axum and Harer to the land of the Hamer, Karo and Surma of the South Omo, Ethiopia is a land of geographical and cultural contrasts, often referred to as the cradle of mankind.

Uganda

Long known as 'The Pearl of Africa', Uganda beautifully showcases Africa's finest geography and natural scenery. Source of the mighty Nile and home to the greatest concentration of primates on earth, this is raw Africa at its best. The romantically named and stunning glacial peaks of the Mountains of the Moon in the Rwenzori National Park dramatically contrast with the steep, foliage covered slopes of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, home to at least half of the world's mountain gorillas. For those who seek the real Africa, Uganda is a destination not to be missed.
