Overview

Luxury safari journeys shaped with pace, comfort, and a clear sense of place.

African safaris are at their best when every detail feels considered. We recommend journeys that combine iconic wildlife, comfortable camps, private guiding, and enough breathing room to enjoy each sighting rather than rush through it.

The six packages below have been chosen to show different ways to travel: family, honeymoon, photography, East Africa, beach and bush, and all-round signature luxury. If you want even more range, we can also build in the Great Migration, Tanzania & Rwanda, or Kilimanjaro Treks as bespoke extensions.

It's time to get excited

Every safari becomes more meaningful when it is shaped around who you travel with and what you love most.

At Excellent Guides, we understand that no two journeys are the same. Some are built around bringing the family together, some around a honeymoon or a special celebration, and others around friends who want to share the bush in style.

We can also steer the trip toward photography, the Great Migration, birding, conservation or a beach finish in Zanzibar. The result is a safari that feels personal, balanced and easy to get excited about.

01

Family safaris

Travel that keeps the rhythm gentle, the experiences shared and the planning stress low.

02

Honeymoon escapes

Private lodges, soft sunsets and quiet moments designed for romance and space to breathe.

03

Friends & private groups

Celebrations, reunions and shared adventures with vehicles and timing shaped around your group.

04

Special interests

Photography, birding, migration watching, conservation or a wider East African journey.

Destinations

Curated destinations designed for the wild heart of Africa

From the Serengeti to Zanzibar, and across the northern circuit to Arusha and Tarangire, each destination brings a different feeling to the journey. We combine them carefully so the safari moves between drama, comfort and calm in all the right places.
