Having done a safari in lodges in Kenya 20+years ago, we wanted to experience the adventure of a safari under canvas, getting up close to the wildlife of Botswana. Oh boy! We were not disappointed. This was the most thrilling holiday we’ve ever been on; absolutely sensational. Our leader, Brian, and his team were brilliant, making sure everything ran smoothly and we got the most out of each day. Wild camping is an experience like no other. It’s very down-to-earth, can be very hot and dusty, but is a lot more comfortable than you might think. Our party were all 50+years old but adapted to the camping easily. There are lots of early starts, but who cares when you see so much wonderful wildlife. This is an adventure not to be missed.

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.”
