At Explorest Travel, we believe the best safaris are not one-size-fits-all. Whether you're dreaming of golden plains, jungle-covered mountains, or luxurious, lantern-lit camps, your destination should align with your unique travel style.

Here’s how to choose the perfect safari destination for your kind of adventure:

For First-Time Safari-Goers: Kenya or Tanzania

If this is your first safari, start with the classics—Kenya’s Masai Mara or Tanzania’s Serengeti. These iconic parks offer:

• Consistent Big Five sightings
• Wide open plains ideal for spotting wildlife
• Rich local culture, like the Maasai and Hadzabe tribes
• A range of luxury lodges and tented camps
• The chance to witness the Great Migration (depending on the season)

Explorest Tip: Combine the Mara with the Ngorongoro Crater and a few nights on the Tanzanian coast for a well-rounded introduction to East Africa.

For Luxury Seekers: Private Conservancies in Kenya or the Serengeti’s High-End Camps

Looking for exclusivity, world-class service, and design-led accommodations? Private conservancies like Lewa, Ol Pejeta, and Mara North offer:

• Fewer vehicles, private game drives
• Spa services, gourmet dining, and plunge pools
• Off-road access and night safaris
• Deep conservation and community involvement

Explorest Tip: Book a private guide and vehicle for a truly tailored experience—and let us handle every last detail.

For Photographers: Botswana, Tanzania, or the Mara’s Shoulder Seasons

Serious about wildlife photography? Head to:

• Botswana’s Okavango Delta: water-based game drives + ethereal morning light
• Tanzania’s Ndutu or Tarangire: rich colors, elephant herds, calving season drama
• Masai Mara in May or November: lush green season backdrops and fewer tourists

Explorest Tip: We’ll time your trip to key wildlife moments and light conditions, and match you with photographer-friendly guides.

For Adventure Travelers: Uganda or Rwanda for Gorilla Trekking

Want heart-pounding, soul-stirring experiences? Trek through misty forests to sit eye-to-eye with endangered mountain gorillas in:

• Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda
• Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda

It’s one of the most emotional wildlife experiences on Earth—and it's best paired with a classic safari in Kenya or Tanzania.

Explorest Tip: Add on chimpanzee trekking or a hike through Uganda’s crater lakes for even more adventure.

For Families: South Kenya or Northern Tanzania

Traveling with kids? Choose lodges that cater to young explorers with:

• Family tents or interconnecting suites
• Shorter game drives with engaging guides
• Activities like bow-and-arrow lessons or wildlife tracking
• Cultural visits that spark curiosity and empathy

Explorest Tip: We hand-select family-friendly camps and can add relaxing beach days in Zanzibar post-safari.

For Honeymooners: Remote, Romantic Hideaways in Kenya or Tanzania

If you're celebrating something special, think romance, seclusion, and barefoot luxury:

• Candlelit bush dinners
• Private plunge pools with savannah views
• Couples massages between game drives
• Quiet, off-the-grid locations like Namiri Plains or Saruni Samburu

Explorest Tip: Let us weave in surprises along the way—from champagne on arrival to private hot air balloon safaris.
