Safari Enter the wild with Butterfield & Robinson

Now’s the time.

We've been going deep into the heart of Africa for decades. And if we could impart only one thing about The Rainbow Continent, it would be this: Africa isn't The Lion King—it's the Louvre. With 19 million square miles of every stunning landscape imaginable, it doesn't just take one trip to soak up all its wonders... it takes a few!

Fortunately, now's the perfect time to get cracking. Our favourite regions are more accessible than ever—and we can help you savour them with all the inimitable style and comfort you've come to expect from B&R (i.e. we'll only give you the goosebumps in the best of ways).

Shall we?

So epic it would make Homer jealous.

SOUTH AFRICA

Private tastings at renowned wine estates.

Cape Town's coastal cool. Bike routes over rolling hills. Kruger National Park's teeming wildlife. And a history that inspired the world. This isn't a trip: it's an odyssey.

TRIPS

• Cape Town & Winelands Active Journey • Cape Town to Victoria Falls Active Expedition • South Africa Biking • South Africa Walking Safari

Never been to Tanzania? Tusk, tusk.

tANZANIA

This kind of majesty can't be missed.

So we don't just drive through: we head out on foot and feel the legendary landscape— rolling hills, expansive plains and massive volcanoes—right under us. The Great Rift Valley, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and the iconic Serengeti? Yes please...

TRIPS

• Tanzania Family Adventure • Tanzania Safari

Fall in love.

zimbabwe

As a new era dawns in Zimbabwe, its ancient wonders continue to awe: gravity-defying granite formations, thousand-year-old rock art...not to mention encounters with elephants, zebra, buffalo, rhino, and the vertiginous wonder of Victoria Falls—“the smoke that thunders.”

TRIPS

• Zimbabwe Safari • Zimbabwe Family Safari

Meet up with your closest relatives.

rwanda

No, not your in-laws—the spectacular Silverback gorillas in their breathtaking mountain forest habitat, of course. Plus: lush, resplendent landscapes, from vibrant Kigali to the verdant countryside. But best of all? The resilience and optimism of the people. Experience a country resurgent.

TRIPS • Rwanda Safari • Rwanda Safari Family

The family that plays together stays together.

kenya

This place, where it—quite literally—all began makes for one of the world's most joyous safari experiences. From exclusive conservation areas to the legendary Maasai Mara, follow ancient elephant routes, track the Big Five, and watch in awe as animals (and kids!) roam unfettered, wild and free.

TRIPS • Kenya Safari • Kenya Family Safari

Not just another continent. Another planet.

namibia

With wild seascapes, surreal persimmonhued sand dunes, shimmering salt pans and stare-downs with big cats, Namibia is downright otherworldly. Explore former Bushmanland, meet the San people, tread the world’s oldest desert, and try not to pinch yourself.

TRIPS

• Namibia Family Safari • Namibia Walking Safari

Walk (or row?) on the wild side.

zambia

Dust off your khakis and prepare for unspoiled wilderness. From the winding Zambezi to lagoons, forests, and the stunning Victoria Falls, explore by foot, by 4×4, and perhaps even by canoe. At night, soak up the most vivid sunsets you’ll ever see, then marvel at an explosion of stars.

TRIPS

• Zambia Family Safari • Zambia Walking Safari

Meet our Safari specialists.

They're freakishly qualified, they're lifelong learners and Africa-philes, and—above all—they think way, way, way outside the 4x4.

BRAD CROCKETT

Christened "Safari Specialist" by Departures Magazine, Brad knows Western and Northern Africa like the back of his (calloused) hand. "With B&R, there's never any sacrificing of safety or comfort—but we get you in deep," he grins. (From his pool. With an elephant in it.)

MICHELE HARVEY

Born and raised in Zimbabwe, Michele caught the travel bug early on—on countless family road trips through her native land.

Now, with 21 years of trip guiding and planning under her utility belt, she loves nothing more than helping others discover her ever-so-amazing continent.

CHRISTINE TUCKER

After a decade of guiding for B&R—and developing a reputation for brilliant, crazy "what if" ideas—this (honorary) Tanzanian turned trip designer. Hunting for honey with the Hadza? Sipping a sundowner overlooking the Serengeti? She hasn't just done it.

She's perfected it.

TOM ABRAHAM

He isn't called "B&R's Indiana Jones" for nothing. This globetrotter has eaten five kinds of camel fat, lived in six countries, guided and planned hundreds of trips, and now shares his love of exquisite places like Rwanda by crafting journeys with his signature soulful style.

Africa’s ready for you year-round. So are we. Give us a ring!
