About us and our safari philosphy

We have been organizing safaris in Kenya, Tansania, Rwanda and Uganda since 1999. Our experience and love for nature will make your wildlife observations in East Africa an unforgettable time of your life.

We take you closer to nature without disturbing and destroying it.

It is not only the experience and knowledge about the places, wildlife and birds that assures our guests of an amazing time in the wilderness but the passion and love for nature and her inhabitants. Therefore our driver/guides approach animals with respect and care. 

Everyone has a different preference how to spend the nights in the bush – choose from luxury tented camps, lodges or even mobile camping mainly in Kenya and Tanzania. Adventure and still feel safe, be close to nature with all the required respect.

Every safari is unique and tailor-made. You let us know your wishes and we create the itinerary.

There are classic tours to the well known regions like Masai Mara and Samburu, but let us also take you to more private and intimate locations. Some have very luxurious tents, some are modest, but they have in common that there are no crowds of tourist.

Even safaris can be an adventure your safety is very important to us. While camping we get in close touch with nature and so we have to follow a few important rules. On transfers we drive carefully without risky overtakings. Our itineraries allow us time to stop and take a picture of scenic landscapes. Our safari driver/guides know where the good places for stops are.  While respecting the park and security rules we will do our best to fulfill all your wishes.

From mountains to horse-back safari, from walking in the wild to photographic tours or professional birding – tell us what you like and we will make it come true.
