Mara and Zanzibar: eleven nights of plains and coral
Five nights in a private conservancy on the edge of the Maasai Mara, then a short hop to the Indian Ocean for five nights on Zanzibar's quieter north-east coast. A night in Nairobi on arrival breaks the long flight.
Northern Kenya on foot: Laikipia and Samburu in eight nights
A safari for people who would rather walk than sit in a vehicle. Three nights on a camel-supported walking safari in Laikipia, three in Samburu country for the northern species, and two on the Laikipia Plateau to finish.
Okavango, Chobe and Victoria Falls in ten nights
Three camps and one waterfall: Chief's Island for big game, the Duba Plains for lion and buffalo, the Chobe riverfront for elephants, and two nights above the Zambezi to see Victoria Falls from the Zimbabwe side.
Rwanda: two gorilla treks and the savannah of Akagera
Six nights with a private driver-guide: a night in Kigali, two in Akagera National Park for a savannah safari, then three in the foothills of the Virunga volcanoes with two mountain gorilla treks.
Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Zanzibar with children
A northern Tanzania safari paced for families with children aged eight and over: baobabs and elephants near Tarangire, a crater rim lodge above Ngorongoro, a mobile camp in the Serengeti, then four nights on a Zanzibar beach.
