Close enough to hear it breathe.
Private safaris across Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania and Kenya, designed one day at a time by the people who guide them.
The itinerary is written after the conversation, not before it.
Most operators sell a package and then fit you into it. We start from the questions that actually decide a trip: how far you will walk, how early you will wake, how much silence you want at the end of the day. Then we build the days around your answers.
We work from Kiwatule in Kampala. Our guides are East African, our permits are booked directly, and when a road washes out in the west we hear about it the same day rather than the same month.

Seven metres from a silverback
Trackers find the family before dawn and hold position until you arrive. Then the hour starts, measured to the minute. He will walk past close enough that you feel the air move, and your guide will put a hand on your shoulder to stop you stepping back into the nettles.
Gorilla trekkingA working day with chimpanzees
Standard tracking buys you an hour. Habituation buys you the whole day: you meet the community at their night nests before first light and stay with them through feeding, patrolling and hunting until they build fresh nests at dusk.
Chimpanzee trekkingThe river, and the waiting
A quarter of a million animals mass on a bank and refuse to move. Our guides hold position at a crossing point rather than chasing radio calls, because waiting is the only technique that works. When it breaks, you hear it before you see it.
The Great MigrationNinety square kilometres, sixteen guests
The private conservancies cap bed numbers by lease agreement rather than by demand. That single clause buys you off-road access to a sighting, night drives the reserve forbids, guided walking, and a real chance of being the only vehicle at a leopard.
Kenya conservanciesHow a trip actually gets built.
-
One long conversation
Before anything is written down we want to know how far you will walk, how early you will wake, and how much silence you want at the end of the day. Those three answers decide most of a route.
-
A route, costed in full
You get a day-by-day itinerary with the real numbers in it: permits, park fees, conservancy levies, every charter leg. Nothing is described as an extra that you discover later at an airstrip.
-
As many revisions as it takes
Most itineraries change three or four times before anyone pays a deposit. Swapping a lodge, adding a night, cutting a drive. This is the part people rush, and it is the part that decides the trip.
-
One guide, all the way through
The same senior guide stays with you across parks and, on the cross-border circuits, across countries. You are not handed to a new stranger every three days.
Tell us the month. We will tell you where to stand.
Send us your dates and roughly what you want from the trip. You will get a costed day-by-day route back within one working day, from a person, with the permits and fees already in it.
