How are our safaris?
The Epic Luxury Safaris philosophy is to never come back, never loose time going back and forward on the same roads.
Our “Tanzania and Kenya safari tours” are from dawn to sundown, from north to south, from east to west and we stop only when the park closes. We have unlimited kilometers, and we chose the location of our tented camps according with the migration path. Our objective for our guests is to see the wildlife and as much animals as possible.
We try to maximize the chances of seeing the great migration during your safari to Kenya and Tanzania.
