Classic Game Drives: The Quintessential Safari

Two drives a day in a private 4×4, with the right guide, in the right park, at the right time.

Classic Game Drives

The Experience

The classic safari is built around two game drives a day — typically four to five hours each, sandwiching a bush breakfast or a midday rest at the lodge.

What separates a great game drive from a forgettable one is almost always the guide. We work with a hand-picked roster of senior guides across our preferred parks — many of them silver-level guides, several of them gold.

What Sets It Apart

Designed for the Discerning

01

Private Vehicles

A private 4×4 with your own guide is standard for every itinerary we design — never shared rotations.

02

Hand-Picked Guides

We name guides at the proposal stage and lock them in months ahead for the parks they know best.

03

All-Day Drives

For special interests, we plan all-day drives with picnic lunches in pristine corners far from camp.

Where to Experience It

Our Recommended Locations

Tanzania

Serengeti

The greatest game-viewing area on Earth — 14,750 km² of grasslands, woodlands and the heart of the great migration.

Kenya

Masai Mara

The Mara’s open plains and high cat densities. Stay in private conservancies for off-road and night driving.

Tanzania

Ngorongoro Crater

A natural wildlife amphitheatre with the densest predator population in Africa — and the only place to reliably see all of the Big Five in a single drive.
