Big Cat Safari Holidays

Prowling the plains, lazing on a branch, stalking their prey: nothing beats seeing these elegant predators in the wild.

Nothing raises the pulse quite like seeing a big cat stalking through the landscape. Beautiful yet savage, cunning yet indolent, big cats are as enigmatic as they are intoxicating – and our big cat holidays take you around the globe. 

For size, nothing beats the elusive male Bengal tiger. They are solitary animals, and their camouflage makes them extremely hard to spot. But in India’s jungles, they appear flame-coloured orange. Or join our expert local guides on the spotted trail of jaguars and ocelots through South America’s rainforests. Our itineraries can also take you high into the Himalaya in search of the elusive snow leopard, while in Africa, you can witness lions ruling the savannah, watch cheetahs in full pursuit, and admire leopards draped across acacia branches. 

Whether you’re drawn to stealth, speed, or raw power, our wildlife adventures offer a rare chance to see these magnificent cats in their natural habitats— an experience few ever forget.

Your Words, Not Ours

“After my first game drive I was completely spellbound… I will never forget seeing my first cheetah, pink-faced from a recent feast, resting out in the open under a flat-topped acacia tree, completely oblivious to its astounded audience.” 

Exodus traveller Sue Millar, Classic Kenya 4WD Safari

Big cat safaris

The idea is sound – visiting four parks maximises the chance of seeing a good variety of wildlife.
However the trip notes seriously under state the terrible condition of the roads and therefore the time it takes to make the transfers. We spent more time on the road between parks than we did on game drives.
The driving is terrifying.
The whole trip felt rushed, as soon as we arrived at a park we were hurried into a meal and then straight out in the vehicle again. There was no time to relax or make use of the facilities in the lodges (which were lovely.)
The behaviour of the guides in the parks was shocking to me. There is a 5 vehicles per animal rule but whenever there was a big cat there were a crowd of 30 or more, all jostling for position and hounding the animals if they moved off. At one point I thought they had run over a chetah. Our driver also broke the no driving off road and no speeding rules. I felt ashamed to be part of it.

This truly is an excellent trip, and way to see beautiful Sri Lanka at a good pace. You cover so much in 2 weeks, and every day is different with sightseeing, walking, cycling, wildlife – there really is something for everyone. Sri Lanka is a fantastic country with wonderfully welcoming people.
This trip really makes you feel you are benefitting the local communities that you are interacting with – spending time with local families, playing traditional games and getting a deeper understanding day-to-day life and traditions. You get a better understanding for the tougher and sadder side of the history of the country, while gaining a deeper appreciation for the resilience of the joyful people who live there. It really is a wonderful trip, made better by a great group and leader!

The amount of wildlife we saw on our Exodus Travels safari in Kenya & Tanzania blew my mind! Elephants, zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, hyenas, many kinds of antelope, baboons, monkeys, hippos, rhinos, alligators, cheetahs, and of course…….. lions. This trip was a dream one true, 50 years in the making. Thanks Raymond/”Dolly” for being the perfect person to guide us on this splendid adventure!
