Planning an African safari is a dream for many, but the logistics, local nuances, and sheer variety of options can quickly become overwhelming. That’s where a trusted tour operator like Explorest Travel comes in. We specialize in crafting luxury, sustainable safaris across East Africa, offering not just convenience but an elevated, meaningful travel experience.


Why Use a Tour Operator for Your Safari?

Explorest Travel’s team has deep roots in East Africa, with firsthand knowledge of destinations like the Serengeti, Maasai Mara, and Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park. Their local expertise ensures you visit the right places at the right times—whether it’s witnessing the Great Migration or tracking mountain gorillas. This insider knowledge helps you avoid common pitfalls and ensures a richer, more authentic experience.


2. Tailored, Luxury Experiences

No two travelers are alike, and Explorest Travel embraces that. Their “Safari My Way” approach means your itinerary is built around your interests—be it photography, cultural immersion, or adventure. You’ll stay in luxury, locally-owned camps and lodges that blend comfort with sustainability, and enjoy private game drives, exclusive sundowners, and more.

4. Sustainable and Responsible Travel

Explorest Travel is committed to eco-friendly tourism. They partner with local communities, employ local guides, and support wildlife conservation efforts. A portion of each booking goes to the Rare Species Conservatory Foundation, ensuring your trip contributes positively to the regions you visit.


5. Cost-Effective and Value-Added

Contrary to popular belief, using a tour operator can be more cost-effective than booking independently. Explorest Travel leverages industry relationships to secure competitive rates and exclusive experiences that might not be available to individual travelers. This means you get more value for your investment.

Explorest Travel isn’t just about luxury; it’s about creating meaningful connections—with nature, local cultures, and yourself. Their commitment to sustainability, personalized service, and authentic experiences sets them apart. Whether you’re dreaming of a honeymoon in the Maasai Mara, a family adventure in Tanzania, or a solo journey to Rwanda’s gorilla habitats, Explorest Travel ensures your safari is unforgettable.
