Is This Trip for Me?

On this safari, you’ll focus on finding the big cats of East Africa – lion, leopard, cheetah, serval, and if you’re lucky, caracal. You can also expect to see the predator-prey interaction. The journey requires early morning starts, late afternoons and some patience. You’ll visit the two most important big cat reserves in the world, Tanzania’s Serengeti and Kenya’s Masai Mara, to experience the densest concentration of big cats. You’ll also visit some private concessions where you can drive off-road to get closer to the animals.
