World-class, remote Africa.
The diverse game viewing, stunning landscapes and exciting activities will keep you enthralled on this incredible journey through four distinct regions and three African countries. Talk to our Chief designers at Guided Safaris® to craft out special memories for your very own tailor-made journey to Africa.
Encountering the largest herds of Elephants in the Okavango Delta, spending afternoons alongside Leopards stalking prey in the Mara grasslands and high-adrenaline mountain adventures to track Gorillas, our luxury safari experience never takes the focus off the natural surrounds of the wilderness; though you may need to break the occasional reverie to shoo out a cheeky vervet monkey from lavishing in your private plunge pool.

THE OLDEST AFRICAN RAINFOREST

GORILLAS in the mist

Enter a primeval rainforest in the Albertine Rift, with its high-up hiking trails offering cool mists and a slight haze in the air. This region is home to Mountain Gorillas, amongst a host of other rainforest species such as the rare Golden Monkey, Black-fronted duiker, Buffalo, Elephant and Bushbuck.

RWANDA
the great apes
A World Heritage site,
the Albertine Rift is one Africa’s most biodiverse regions with the last remaining populations of Mountain Gorilla. This ancient rainforest is one of the most staggeringly beautiful sights to behold. Our Signature lodge in Rwanda is the most award-winning luxury safari experience offering the perfect base to go Gorilla trekking.
The most extraordinary Gorilla safari experience in Africa, only a handful of travelers are permitted to trek into the Volcanoes region to seek out habituated groups of Gorilla families. We spend an idyllic hour with these majestic creatures, silently observing their habits, watching the impressive Silverback Gorillas teach and play with their young. Aside from over a thousand plant species, 700 bird species and myriad reptiles and amphibians, Rwanda is home to some 15 species of primates.

MASAI MARA SAFARI

Soar over the Great Rift Valley's storied landscapes and touch down at our Private airstrip in the Masai Mara - the world's most game-filled region with phenomenal Big Cat encounters. We host your stay in the luxurious setting of our private camps in the Mara-Serengeti wilderness.

KENYA
BIG CAT DIARIES
Widespread and plentiful
game viewing is what the Mara is all about. Unlike the highly seasonal locations in the Serengeti and Grumeti reserves, our locations in the Mara are abundant with year-round game and incredible Big Cat sightings. Diverse species of antelope congregate around the remaining permanent waterholes in our private game areas as we trace the path of resident Lion prides out on their early morning hunt.
In the season of the Great Migration,  constant river crossings provide exceptional predator action from the crocodiles and lions shadowing the herds. In the dry season, clear morning skies with stunning sunrises offer a beautiful start to the first game drive of the day. Soar by hot air balloon over the iconic setting of the Mara and return to camp to enjoy a champagne breakfast at one of Africa’s most beautiful luxury camps, a haven of peace and tranquility in a private concession.

While lions are the undisputed kings among Africa's predators, for many years we've followed the Cheetahs in our special Mara location where the presence of fewer people gives them the freedom of space to hunt during the daytime
Cheetah
 are the most specialized of  Africa’s Big Cats. The fastest animal on earth, they run at speeds of up to 60 miles per hour. The cubs follow Cheetah moms from the age of six weeks. In the Serengeti plains, up to 95% of cubs fail to reach maturity due the threat of lions, hyena and, the result of too many of crowds. Here in the Mara, with special conservancies we're seeing more productive sightings of these unique cats.
The cheetah cubs leave their mothers at about a year or two, and the brothers form a band for extremely organized hunting. These cats require vast savannah grasslands and daylight to hunt, a perfect habitat offered by the Mara ecosystem well-suited to Cheetah, which is what makes them harder to source in the thicker woodlands and constricted spaces of South Africa and Botswana.

OKAVANGO
EXTRAORDINARY
wildlife experiences with sightings of Lion and Buffalo. This private concession is habitat to specialized antelope like Red lechwe, Greater kudu and Tsessebe. Elephant and hippo trudge through the swamplands and the
area is also a birdwatcher’s paradise. The Okavango Delta is scattered with an incredible variety of species like the rare Wattled crane, Pel’s Fishing owl, White-backed night heron and Marsh owl.
The palm-dotted islands, flood plains and woodland of this 190,000-acre private concession in the most remote part of the Okavango is classic to the region’s unique landscape. The sheer volumes of game seen here are thanks to the raised dry-land area better suited for wildlife.

Though Leopards are mostly nocturnal, they are highly opportunistic cats that do stalk prey in the daytime, particularly when they have cubs to feed.
