Bush and Beach Safaris


Our bush and beach safari itinerary offers the ideal balance between activity and relaxation. Start your trip off with a safari adventure in the South African bush visiting two of our favourite game reserves, before completely relaxing and unwinding on Mozambiques sandy beaches. Safaris can be quite tiring, particularly with their early starts, so what better way to relax and re-invigorate yourself than by enjoying time on the coast before returning home to the real world.

Serengeti Migration Safari

June - mid July
This great spectacle of nature is an iconic safari option for avid travellers, nature lovers and those who want a little more from their African experience. 
Our camp follows the migration as it moves through the Serengeti, therefore the start and end locations together with the first and last nights local accommodation alter accordingly first from June to mid July and then our base moves to cover the period to the end of October. You'll find both itineraries in this Tanzania section.
Our camp accommodation is in Bush Rover Suites that are working Land Rovers which drive in to each location and set up to accommodate 8 people in 4 Bush Rover suites. Each Bush Rover camp has a staff of 2 chefs, 2 waiters, guide and rangers. The Bush Rover Suites do not transport guests. Each camp is a set seasonal camp which guests arrive at similar to other camps in the Serengeti but with a unique look and function in the most iconic safari vehicle – Land Rover.  The elevation of the bedroom and balcony means that we can get closer to the action whilst still being secure. Each Bush Rover Suite has a 14 x 16 ft bedroom platform raised up over the roof of the vehicle, shower, bath and flush toilet in each unit and powered from a solar panel for 24-hour lights and hot water in each suite. The balcony in each suite looks over the migration in whichever camp we are situated. Meals are taken in a large comfortable mess tent or under the stars dependent on weather.
From your beautiful elevated bedroom with its balcony looking out to the wilderness, to the wood panelled bathroom, no screw has been left unturned to smooth your outdoor living. You will have the modern comforts of solar powered hot water, lights and power sockets to recharge your batteries. What more could you want? Most importantly, unlike fixed camps and lodges, the Bush Rovers move to the right places to provide the safari of a lifetime, to experience splendid isolation in total comfort. Blessed with a spectacular array of wildlife and the world's largest migration circuit, the Serengeti is ultimate safari country. This adventure lets you witness the unbeatable natural phenomenon of over one million wildebeest making their journey from the Maasai Mara, from the exclusive luxury of a Bush Rover suite. The camp will be set up at the heart of the migration, in a site specially chosen following years of research and knowledge, to make sure guests have an amazing experience but one they share with nobody else.

Snow Leopard Safari


Our Snow Leopard special safari is based in the province of Ladakh, in the Western Himalayas, India. This area was once a powerful independent kingdom encompassing much of the present-day Western Tibet, and an important route along the ancient silk road. Moreover, it is also one of the world’s key locations to see Snow Leopards. It's often thought that Snow leopards are very difficult to see, and while nothing in wildlife can be taken for granted, sightings are good with figures over the last four years showing an 80% chance of seeing one (or hopefully more), Snow Leopards on this safari.
We run this annual special safari on the following dates:
12th - 25th Feb 2021
The traditional snow leopard safaris utilise home stay or camping accommodation, however we prefer a little more comfort for our guests and have secured accommodation in the only tourist lodge in the area, at the very epicentre of Snow leopard sightings. 
Snow Leopard Lodge is located in the small village of Ulley, Ladakh, and offers superb views across the Ulley Chhu Valley. The lodge is basic, yet warm and cozy, with lovely home cooked meals, making this a much more comfortable alternative to camping. Leopards are regularly seen from the deck of the lodge where spotters watch across the adjacent mountains each morning and evening. In addition the lodge has a network of spotters in villages spread across forty five square kilometres who radio in any sightings, especially  on kills where Leopards will return for several days.
Please note that Snow Leopard Lodge sits at 4,000 meters in the magnificent Himalaya mountains. Keeping that in mind we take things slowly and allow you time to adjust to the altitude in luxury in the small town of Leh before travelling to Snow leopard lodge. We also take away the necessity to hike by using SUV's to traverse the area.
