Few destinations on Earth possess the rawness of East Africa. A luxury safari in Kenya and Tanzania isn’t just a holiday. It’s an immersion into something marvellous.
I have travelled the main parks of both countries, and the experience confirmed what I already knew: this is where some of the world’s most beautiful stories unfold.
From the vast plains of the Serengeti to the craters of the Ngorongoro, the sheer scale of the wildlife is unrivalled.
The objective of any safari is to find the Big 5, but nothing prepares you for the amazement of the encounter.
We were fortunate enough to complete the checklist (twice), but one moment still remains at the forefront of my mind- being completely surrounded by a pride of lions.
It was terrifying but absolutely incredible, sitting in the vehicle, humbled by their powerful presence.
These moments of awe are delivered by expert guiding and meticulous planning.
We saw it all. The sheer scale of the wildebeest migration, the tender sight of a pregnant zebra, and the unbelievable spectacle of more pink flamingos than I could possibly count on Lake Manyara.
Timing is everything, and travelling in February and March (whilst not peak season at all) placed us right in the heart of the Birthing Season.
Seeing dozens of calves and foals take their first steps is witnessing life at its most vulnerable and vibrant.
This time of year not only offers unique viewing opportunities but also guarantees intense interactions, as predators are highly ac active.
This period transforms the savanna into a nursery of new life, adding an emotionally profound layer to the already stunning landscape of Kenya and Tanzania.
A truly bespoke African journey involves connecting with the culture and the wildlife.
Our itinerary ensured smooth transfers and dedicated time for authentic cultural experiences.
This included a stop in Arusha, the gateway to the northern safari circuit, and a private tour of a local coffee plantation.
It’s the perfect blend of wildlife and grounding moments of cultural immersion.
A safari in Kenya and Tanzania is an investment in unparalleled memory creation and an absolute bucket list item.
