Premier Safari ($$$)
A Premier Safari is distinguished by stylish and elegant camps located in the best possible game viewing areas and characterised by sustainable, yet ultimate luxury. These camps combine superbly designed architecture with the warm comforts of home and personal service. Each has its own individual style and identity, carefully crafted to be relevant to, and in harmony with, its location. These first-class camps are designed to enhance the experience should guests decide not to go out on a safari activity. At Premier Camps you can expect flexible meal times and safari activities, fine wines and exceptional cuisine. What you pay for in a Premier Safari Camp is not just top notch service and exclusivity, but proximity to the region’s best private game-viewing areas.

Photographic Safari Itineraries
Imagine yourself mounted high above the long grass and reeds watching great herds of wildebeest as they move across the plains. The breath-taking excitement when your silent progress along game paths, previously only used by animals, brings you upon a herd of buffalo or a family group of elephants.
This is every horse rider’s dream so prepare to saddle-up, Africa style!
A self-drive safari is the ultimate road trip, the roads are often dusty four-wheel drive tracks enveloped by wildlife. The rhythm is simple, mixing dedicated safari activities with your journeys between camps. The really adventurous like to drive on their own; we’ll set you up with a reliable four-wheel drive camper, arrange all the necessary camp bookings, and offer the advice needed for a journey into the bush. You do it all by yourself, just with detailed insider knowledge from people who have done it many times before. What an adventure!
Centred on Africa’s most immersive wild primate experience, this unique adventure places you in the heart of The Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda. Here you have the opportunity to take part in daily treks in search of the iconic mountain gorillas and take in the dramatic views of the peaks of the Bisoke and Karisimbi volcanoes rearing up through the surrounding forests.
These are truly unique and exciting, hands-on, travel experiences, suitable for active people interested in life-changing, ‘purposeful’ journeys. They have been crafted to offer guests access to unique and privileged, behind-the-scenes conservation and community projects. On these itineraries we invite you to collar an elephant or big cat, count wildlife, find out more about anti-poaching efforts and meet neighbouring communities. All funds raised from these itineraries are directly channelled into anti-poaching units and conservation programs. This option really does require you to get your boots dusty!
