There’s so much to be said for an authentic, meaningful experience. One that allows you to interact with the local culture and be immersed in the wilderness, as it exists naturally. For me, that was by far the most interesting part of the trip.

OUR GUIDING PHILOSOPHY

It is not only what you see, it's how you see it. This is our outlook for any type of safari, be it a walking expedition, a luxurious vacation or an educational trip. A safari is inherently centered around viewing wildlife and, while we will forever enjoy the endless beauty of Africa's majestic wildlife, we go a layer deeper. It is not just the bush itself, but also the joy, wonder, and what it enables you to discover about yourself, the calmness and intensity all the same.

On safari, it is usually what you least expect that makes an impression. It's the smell of an acacia campfire or the morning light through the trees. It's the hilarious braying of zebras. It's the enhanced life perspective you return home with. For some, this means being challenged on big walks through un-named wilderness; for others it is simply being put in a place where they can feel some sort of connection with the land and people, even if it is just a few steps from camp or around the fire with a couple Maasai friends.
