- Brian Jackman

In Kenya and Tanzania, "safari" transcends its Swahili origins to become nature's greatest theatre. These East African neighbours don't merely offer wildlife encounters – they invented them. Our advisors can place you at the heart of the Great Migration, where millions of animals cross the land beneath vast African skies.

The Maasai tribe, Kenya & Tanzania.Game_Drive-Kenya

Feel the earth tremble in the Maasai Mara and Serengeti as wildebeest and zebra surge across golden plains in a drama so vast it's visible from space. By night, dissolve into the lap of luxury in secluded lodges, miles away from civilisation—your nearest neighbour, the snow-capped Kilimanjaro looming in the distance.

Luxury Travel Zanzibar, TanzaniaLuxury travel holiday Jambiani, Zanibar, Tanzania

After days in the dust on safari, unwind in Zanzibar’s coral gardens or discover tales of sultans and spice routes in historic Stone Town. In Kenya, witness Lake Nakuru turn pink as flamingos gather in formation. Together, these countries invite you to discover your own sense of wonder, as safari finds its truest meaning.

  • “Apart from its pristine beaches, Zanzibar is a mecca of cultural delights. Stone Town, with its elaborate door carvings and vibrant bazaars, offers a history lesson into the island’s multi-cultural past. Once you’ve visited the museums, forts, cathedrals and mosques, take an aromatic tour of a spice plantation, and end the day with an Indian Ocean sunset cruise on a traditional dhow (wooden sailing boat).”

    Craig Martin

  • “The Great Migration is one of the most extraordinary wildlife events I’ve ever seen. The earth literally shakes with the thunder of a million hooves as dust clouds roll across the Southern Serengeti and the Maasai Mara. It’s a gruelling journey, as the animals face predators, and, of course, infamous river crossings along the way. This is a spectacle of survival, and about witnessing the sheer power of nature!”
