Private safaris explained
A safari that runs on your time
On a private safari the vehicle, the guide and the plan are yours. Leave before sunrise, stay longer at a sighting, or skip a drive for a slow afternoon at the lodge.
Combine classics like the Maasai Mara and Amboseli with the rugged north at Samburu, or finish on the sand at Diani Beach.
