At a glance

This epic African safari trip encompasses an exhilarating and luxurious week-long migration experience at two of the most exclusive and game-rich areas of the neighbouring Maasai Mara and Serengeti reserves. Giving you a safari shared with little else than the animals you encounter. After this you can unwind on the exotic white beaches of Zanzibar.

Beginning with the grand wilderness, spend your days stalking game as huge herds of wildebeest perform their annual migration – with the predators following close in their shadows. We can organise private, personalised safari activities for you, while your luxury accommodation provides both exclusive space and comfort.

Conclude your trip in a haven of relaxation in the Indian Ocean’s azure waters. With rainbow coloured reefs, a rich history and fine white sands, we can tailor this part of the trip to you, giving you the freedom to do as much or as little as you like.

Spend your days mostly exploring the northern section of the Serengeti on safari tracking the great array of game and wildlife that this vast area offers. If you're there at the right time for the great migration (depending on the season), this is the region where the herds are at their most concentrated because the North Serengeti forms the border with the Famous Maasai Mara of Kenya, and it’s where (if you’re lucky) you’ll see the infamous river crossings. It’s also an area of untamed natural beauty, of rolling hills, rivers, forests and open plains.
