About the Great Migration
The Great Migration is the annual migration of more than 1 million wildebeest through the Masai Mara in Kenya and the Serengeti in Tanzania. During Jul - Oct each year, the herds are in the Northern Serengeti & Masai Mara. This is the best time to see them making their famous river crossings. It is also a fantastic time of year to spot big cats, many of whom have also migrated following their food source.
About the Masai Mara (note: the word Maasai was incorrectly spent when the Masai Mara was given it's name and has never been fixed)
The Masai Mara is home to huge populations of big cats, and has the highest concentration of big cats in Africa. Covering more than 1,500 square kilometres, the Masai Mara is home to approximately 900 lion, 300 cheetah and 100 leopard. It is also home to more than 80 different species of mammals and more than 450 varieties of birds. It is no wonder it is one of Africa's best safari parks, and a must-see for anyone going on safari!
About Amboseli
Amboseli is the only safari park in Africa where we can snap a stunning picture of an elephant or giraffe with Mt Kilimanjaro snow capped peak in the background (like the pic below). It is also one of Kenya's best safari parks and offers a completely different experience to other parks you will visit. Amboseli is teeming with an eclectic array of wildlife, showcasing the majestic African elephant, graceful giraffes, and iconic lions. Zebras elegantly graze alongside wildebeests, while elusive leopards and cheetahs add an air of mystery. A birdwatcher's delight, the park harmonises nature's wonders against the backdrop of Kilimanjaro and the vast wetlands offer a fantastic opportunity to spot large flocks of flamingo.
About Nairobi National Park
The Nairobi National Park is the only safari park in Africa where you can snap a picture of a giant white or black rhino with a skyscraper in the background. Located in the heart of Nairobi, this national park is a sanctuary for rhinos and is the fantastic place to start your African adventure. This park is also home to large cats, zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, various antelopes and many different bird species.
During your safari, you'll be living at a secluded luxury wildlife camp on the edge of the game park. This gives you the best chance of spotting animals and often you'll hear zebra, elephant, wildebeest, hyena, lion and many other animals from the balcony of your private luxury safari tent. Many camps also have a waterhole in front of the communal areas were animals frequently visit throughout the day.

Do you have what it takes to tackle the Highest Free-Standing Mountain in the World?
Since 2015, we've helped 98% of our adventurers SAFELY summit Kilimanjaro and we'd love to help you do the same. With sheer cliff faces, giant towering glaciers and endless panoramic views, Kilimanjaro is a trekkers holy grail. Reaching Kilimanjaro’s highest point is an extreme challenge. Battling multiple long days trekking, freezing conditions and high altitudes, trekkers must leave their comfort zones and push themselves to the limit.
There may be blisters and tears, but as you stand on top of the “Roof of Africa”, watching the sun rise over Africa’s endless savannahs, you’ll feel a sense of “Freedom”, at one with yourself and with nature, and the euphoria of success.
With challenging treks, stunning scenery and 5 different ecosystems, it is no wonder Kilimanjaro has been voted “Africa’s Leading Tourist Attraction” for the past 3 consecutive years. Here's a sneak peak of what you can expect...
During this adventure, you will be trekking the Lemosho Route over 8 days to give you the best chance to acclimatise and reach the summit. More details can be found in the day by day itinerary.
A note about fitness:
Most people who can comfortably complete 1 hour of continuous, high-intensity exercise will be fit enough to trek Kilimanjaro. The track itself is not extremely difficult, what makes it challenging is when it is combined with high altitudes. If this track was at sea level, most people would comfortably finish it. Given you reach altitudes of almost 6,000m, no matter how fit you are, you will find this trek challenging and we highly recommend you physically and mentally prepare for this adventure - more in our info pack under training.
The far bigger challenge on Kilimanjaro is giving your body enough time to acclimatise so you can safely continue to ascend. This is where our team of high-altitude experts make a huge difference. We will push you to the absolute limit and our team will go above and beyond to reach your goal, we will not however risk your life to summit a mountain. That is why we monitor your key stats 2 - 3 times a day, we carry an emergency oxygen tank, we only offer 7 or more day treks and we have an absolute safety over summit policy.
Kilimanjaro will be one of the hardest but most rewarding experiences of your life. Take the first step to standing on the Roof of Africa by EXPRESSING INTEREST below.
Can I do this trip without Kilimanjaro:
Yes! Paul is skipping Kilimanjaro, while his wife Alison would love for more trekkers to join her. Under INVOICE, you will find pricing with and without Kilimanjaro.
Located on the banks of the World's Second Largest Fresh Water Lake is Gombe National Park. With less than 2,000 visitors each year, Gombe is one of Africa's best kept secrets. It is also our favourite African adventure!
This adventure will see you trekking with chimps, exploring giant waterfalls, boating on Lake Tanganyika, fishing for dinner and relaxing by the lake with a bottle of wine watching a perfect sunset - and don't worry if you can't catch your dinner, your personal chef has you covered.
Here's a sneak peak of what you can expect...
A little more about Gombe & Jane Goodall
In 1960, a young English secretary with a passion for animals began researching chimps in what is now know as Gombe National Park. Jane Goodall’s objective was to observe and record the behaviour of our closest related primate. Gombe is the oldest chimp research centre in the world, and much of the research that has helped us understand primates, is from the research Jane & her team have completed at Gombe. This is guaranteed to be one of the most unique and memorable experiences of your life.
The Maasai are a nomadic tribe found across East Africa. The Maasai are most iconic for their colourful clothing and interesting traditions.
