THE EXPERIENCE / SMALL-GROUP JOURNEYS
Good company.
Wild places.
Some journeys are best shared: with family, with friends, or with a handful of like-minded travellers.

TRAVELLING TOGETHER
Shared,
but still personal.
A group safari turns being together into the trip itself.
There are two ways to do it. A private group is your own party alone, with your own vehicles, guide and route. A small group is a journey you join with a few other travellers, sharing the company and the cost. Either way, we keep numbers low so the guiding stays good and no one is just a seat on a bus.
Ask us about upcoming small-group dates. Group size, rooms and what’s included are set out in your proposal.
01 / SMALL NUMBERS
Room for everyone at every sighting
02 / REAL GUIDING
A guide who gets to know the group
03 / TIME TO YOURSELF
Shared days, with quiet moments too
A DAY TOGETHER
Out together,
back at your own pace.
Group days have an easy rhythm: time out together, time to rest, and stories at the end of it.
- MORNING
Out on the plains.
An early game drive together, with a guide who makes sure everyone gets the view.
- AFTERNOON
Your own time.
Rest, read, swim or sit with a pair of binoculars. No one has to do everything.
- EVENING
Stories around the table.
Dinner together, swapping what each of you saw that day.

JOURNEY IDEA · MARA & DIANI
A little wild. A little barefoot.

Ask us about upcoming departures, or create a private group on your own dates.
BEFORE YOU GO
Good questions.
Straight answers.
What is a small-group safari?
A journey you join with a few other travellers. It’s sociable, the cost is shared, and numbers stay low for good guiding.
What’s the difference between a private group and a small group?
A private group is your party alone, with your own vehicles and guide. A small group is joined with other travellers.
Is a small group good for solo travellers?
Yes. It’s a sociable, well-supported way to travel alone, and we’ll be upfront about any single supplement.
Will we do everything together?
No. Game drives and meals are shared, but there’s always time to yourself.
