At a glance

This safari, being the longest of all our itineraries, covers more parks than reserves, including a conservancy with East Africa’s largest black rhino population. It is a must to see the Northern white rhinos and chimpanzees. It is ideal for those who love spending extended time immersed in different wildlife experiences, away from their routine.

This safari is particularly suitable for travelers with sporadic travel schedules due to family or job commitments, as an elongated vacation allows for a bespoke and once-in-a-lifetime experience to cherish and share. Our safaris serve as guidelines and can be combined with a beach holiday for rest and relaxation. We are proactive in providing further assistance with East Africa sightseeing.

Like any other itinerary, this can be adapted to start from different points of entry or in reverse order. The longer the holiday spent exploring diverse recreational sites, the richer the encounters will be. Every day and season on safari offer a unique experience. We sincerely pledge to provide you with an unforgettable safari experience!
