Spectacular Wildlife

As well as some of its best wildlife, East and Central Africa have the continent’s greatest features: its highest peaks, largest lakes, thickest jungles and most teeming savannas. Whether it’s the Karamoja Apalis or Grauer’s Gorilla you’re after, we can take you in comfortable pursuit of the region’s rarest species, and into their remotest habitats. You’re in our capable hands.

High-end Accommodation

Lodge facilities in Rwanda, Uganda and Congo have lately been given an overhaul, and luxury accommodation has begun to take the place of more rustic facilities, while many classic properties have received extensive renovations and improvements in service. Your stay will be in the most luxurious lodges and hotels.

Safe Drivers & Well Maintained Vehicles

All our drivers have clean records, drive carefully, and are fully knowledgeable of every route in the region. They are also trained in bird-watching and game spotting, for when you’re in the parks. Our vehicles, which we keep well-tuned and capable of handling all terrains, are specious “stretch” 4x4s with comfortable seating, and roof-top viewing facilities.

Your protection and security is of paramount importance to us. And we will never journey to any location before we are fully satisfied that your safety is guaranteed. The governments of Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania and Kenya assure 100% security in their parks.

On Safari...

“Gorillas are not yet sufficiently advanced in evolutionary terms to have discovered the benefits of passports, currency declaration forms, and official bribery, and tend to wander backwards and forwards across the border as and when their beastly, primitive whim takes them.”

- Douglas Adams


"There is something about safari life that makes you forget all your sorrows and feel as if you had drunk half a bottle of champagne."

- Karen Blixen


“All I wanted to do now was get back to Africa. We had not left it, yet, but when I would wake in the night I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.”

– Ernest Hemingway

Greg Cummings's favorite books »

“Kilimanjaro is a snow-covered mountain 19,710 feet high, and is said to be the highest mountain in Africa. Its western summit is called by the Masai 'Ngàje Ngài,' the House of God. Close to the western summit there is the dried and frozen carcass of a leopard. No one has explained what the leopard was seeking at that altitude.– Ernest Hemingway, The Snows of Kilimanjaro
