* We are also able to arrange extensions to our wildlife safari tours to other interesting places in East Africa.
 

Our wildlife safari tours all include visits to local communities in the Maasai Mara, Amboseli and/or Serengeti where you will have a chance to come face-to-face with the colorful Maasai people and support their local economies.

We also offer a unique opportunity to visit with the rare mountain gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda and in Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda. In both national parks the gorillas are zealously protected and only small groups of people are allowed to visit for short periods of time. These are the best two places in the world to view the mountain gorillas in their natural habitat!

For all of our safaris we provide a safari van, Land Rover or Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof for easy wildlife viewing and photography (and protection from the sun).

You will have the choice of accommodation in luxury lodges or tents. We are also able to offer private tented camping safaris for those who wish to have a truly unique experience.

The exclusive package offers luxury accommodation in the best and most exclusive resorts and lodges available. Our luxury package provides 5 star lodge accommodation and/or some luxury tented camps. The mid-range package provides accommodation in first-class lodges and/or tented camps.

Cheetah and leopard are also regularly seen and, less commonly, rhino. The annual wildebeest migration, one of nature's few remaining wildlife spectacles, occurs in the Mara from July to September where the big animals and their predators are to be present in abundance during the time frame of this trip. Several species of Bee-Eater, the flying rainbow that heads the list of the Mara's birds, occur in the reserve. As well as wildlife, the Masai Mara is also home to many members of the colorful Maasai tribe who may be seen around the borders of the park - Morans (warriors) loping across the plains, young boys herding goats, or elders grouped under a tree discussing matters of the day. An optional visit to a Maasai boma (homestead) reveals this outstanding culture and customs.
