Five distinct experiences — from the Mara’s big cats to gorillas in the Virunga mist. Here’s when to go, what it costs, and who each one suits best.

Kenya

The original safari — and the Great Migration’s grand stage.

Endless Serengeti plains and the Ngorongoro Crater.

Malaria-free Big Five, plus Cape Town and the winelands.

The Okavango Delta — water, wilderness and low-volume luxury.

Eye to eye with mountain gorillas in the Virungas.

Tell us what you want to see and we’ll recommend the best fit — and the best season for it.
