Big Five Safari

Big Five Safari

Classic wildlife days in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.

Lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo — privately guided.

Lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo — privately guided, with time to stay with a sighting instead of racing the next vehicle. We use the phrase “Big Five” because travellers search for it; we design days around behaviour and light.

Where it belongs

Kenya’s Mara and Amboseli, Tanzania’s Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire, and Uganda’s Queen Elizabeth and Murchison all offer serious wildlife. The mix of species and the feeling of the landscape are different in each. We will not pretend every park is interchangeable.

How we pace it

Private vehicles mean you can leave camp at a sensible hour, linger with a pride, and return for a rest before last light. We brief guides on whether you want photography, a first safari, or something slower after gorilla country.
