About this Safari
Safaris in Remote Africa
Dear Adventurers,
In these unusual times of coronas and quarantines and social-distancing rules, we find ourselves living in a circumscribed world; and yet, we long to be free and feel the wind in our face again. So, it’s nice to know that there are still places on our planet we can visit safely, and activities we can enjoy safely – trips that will isolate us from the crowds but keep us connected to the world around us. Africa is one of those places and a wildlife safari is one of those experiences. If your safari was designed with care, then the only jostling elbows you may see on your trip could be two zebra stallions fighting over a zebra harem…As for those jostling humans, save for a few other savvy travelers, nary a crowd in sight 😊
When most people think about masses of wildlife, images of the Great Migration usually spring to mind – we imagine hundreds upon thousands of wildebeest and zebra massed nervously along river banks, poised to plunge into the rushing brown waters of the river below, with the instinctive knowledge that this will be a life or death journey for them… for there are enormous white-toothed Nile crocodiles lurking in those waters, and tawny lions crouched in thick bushes on the other side…
We have designed this safari with a focus on the migrating herds of gnus and other hooved animals as they circumnavigate the Serengeti eco-system with the attendant predators following in their wake. Throughout the month of September and early October, these mega-herds of animals will cross and re-cross the Mara river multiple times. It is our job to find you a ringside seat in this natural theater so that you can watch the action unfold in front of your own eyes.
The grass is always greener on the other side – even for the wildies! This is a pure migration safari, intended for serious wildlife enthusiasts and photographers who won’t mind waiting patiently as the herds mass and re-mass on the riverbanks in their quest to reach that greener grass on the other side… I hope you decide to join us on this immersive and slow adventure in East Africa!
Your travelling companions,
Sangeeta & Smita
