Eastern Africa is where safari really comes alive. This is the land of the Great Migration across the Serengeti and the Maasai Mara, the Big Five in the Ngorongoro Crater, and the misty forests where mountain gorillas live in Rwanda and Uganda.
A private luxury Eastern Africa safari combines world-class wildlife with the white-sand beaches of Zanzibar — the classic bush-and-beach trip, planned around you.
An Eastern Africa safari is the classic first journey: light aircraft link the Serengeti, Maasai Mara, Ngorongoro and the gorilla forests in a single seamless route, and every itinerary can finish on the Indian Ocean. It is where the safari was invented — and where its greatest spectacle, the wildebeest migration, still runs year-round.
