Guest Experiences

8-Day Mara River Crossing Safari
We were out and about for ten days with our guide James. I could not have imagined a better companion, and we saw many beautiful animals – including the Big Five. We watched the wildebeest river crossing. James knew everything about the animals and was always friendly. In addition, he answered every one of our questions.

7 Days Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti
The best safari company ever! We did 7 days across Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. The best trip of my life. The organisation from SafariHQ was amazing and the guides were incredible! Our guide Daniel was so kind, patient and super knowledgeable on all the animals and plants. We saw so many animals and Daniel was an excellent spotter. He is a super driver and we got amazing views of all the animals. I will definitely be doing another safari with SafariHQ. Thanks to Daniel and all of SafariHQ for the trip of a lifetime.

3 Day Serengeti National Park
We had a very beautiful and unforgettable safari, during which we saw the Big 5 and many other great animals. Our guide James was very knowledgeable about everything regarding Tanzania and its wildlife. He was very nice and a great driver.

8 Days Tanzania Safari
Our guide Emmanuel was absolutely amazing. I felt he went above and beyond to make sure we saw every animal there was to see in Ngorongoro Carter and Lake Manyara National Park. Not only did we get to see the animals, we also so amazing flora, scenery and Emmanuel was full of knowledge about the area, people and animals. Overall our time in Tanzania was made exceptionally better because of the guides we had. Emmanuel was absolutely brilliant to make sure we had good viewing of all sights and animals. No task was to hard. He was friendly, polite, and I felt very safe in his company.

3 night private Masai Mara NP
We were met by Simon from Safari HQ upon arrival in Nairobi and taken to our hotel which was s great way to start our Kenyan experience. Early the next morning, we were collected by Steve our Safari driver in our Safari vehicle for the long drive to the Zebra Valley Mara Lodge located adjacent to the Masai Mara National Game Reserve. Over the next 3 days, we enjoyed a series of fantastic early morning and late afternoon game Safari drives. Steve our driver was exceptional. Being an ex park ranger, his knowledge of the game reserve, the flora and fauna was fantastic. Given the condition of the roads, Steve was never in a rush and always allowed plenty of time to get us some great opportunities to view the amazing wildlife in the Mara reserve. We were extremely privileged that Steve manage to find great sighting / viewings of Elephants, Hippos, Giraffes, Ostriches, Lions, Cheetahs, numerous types of antelopes, Nile crocodiles, Wilderbeast, Zebras – the list goes on. Highlights included lunch under an Umbrella Acacia tree inside the game park. Given were on a 4 person private game Safari, Safari HQ and our Driver Steve were fantastic and the experience provided certainly exceeded our expectations.
7 Day Tanzania Safari
We spent three days in the Ngorongoro conservation area, three days in the Serengeti National Park and one day in the Lake Manyara National Park. We did our safari with Safari HQ. Our guide Emmanuel, was amazing. Not only was he a skilled Driver over the rugged and extremely challenging terrain, he knew exactly the right spots and angles to enable us to get the most spectacular photos. We saw the big five and much, much more many times over. I can only say it was a totally immersive and life changing experience. I would recommend Safari HQ and Emanuel in particular, to anyone wishing to undertake a Safari in Africa.

Frequently Asked
Luxury Safari FAQs

Considered answers to help you understand luxury safari costs, destinations and the planning choices that shape an exceptional journey.

Luxury East Africa safaris typically cost USD 700–1,500+ per person per day, based on two sharing. Exclusive villas, peak-season migration camps, private vehicles and charter flights can increase the investment. Your proposal will clearly explain the accommodation, guiding, park fees, meals, transfers and flights included.

  1.  

Luxury extends beyond beautiful accommodation. It provides exceptional guiding, prime locations, greater privacy, flexible game viewing and smoother travel between regions. Depending on your journey, this may include intimate camps, private vehicles, light-aircraft flights, exclusive-use villas, private dining and personal support throughout.

Luxury safaris operate year-round, but the ideal season depends on your destination and interests. June to October suits dry-season wildlife viewing and river crossings, while January to March brings the Serengeti calving season. Green-season travel offers lush landscapes, quieter camps and greater availability.

Tanzania and Kenya lead for Big Five wildlife, the Great Migration, private conservancies and refined tented camps. Rwanda and Uganda add luxury gorilla trekking, while Zanzibar and the Kenyan coast provide exceptional beach extensions. The right combination depends on season, interests and preferred pace.

Eight to fourteen days suits most luxury East Africa safaris. Allow seven to ten days for one country, ten to fourteen for a multi-country journey and additional nights for Zanzibar or the Kenyan coast. Flying between regions reduces transfer time without rushing the experience.

Yes. Luxury safaris can be designed for honeymoons, anniversaries, families, solo travellers, friends and private multigenerational groups. We adjust accommodation, rooming, activities, guiding, pace and special arrangements around the people travelling—not around a fixed template.
