Guest Comment

Two years ago I began planning a trip to East Africa for my family: my husband, 16 year-old son, and myself.  I had a good notion of where I wanted to visit in Kenya and Tanzania...

This time I assembled my own itinerary: 15 nights at specific locations in a specific time slot - Christmas.  I sent out my itinerary to 10 different travel agents that advertised as specialists in East Africa.  Included on that list were both Abercrombie & Kent and Cox & Kings since I had successfully traveled with them previously.  The other companies I contacted, including Deeper Africa, were all found on the web.  I asked them to "price this trip!"

In short order, the leader of the pack emerged.  And it was Deeper Africa!  Not only did they respond to my request promptly, but they also questioned my itinerary and length of stay in each location.  AND their quote was far more reasonable than the contenders.  I was smitten.

Trip Overview

Our bush plane safari is the ultimate African expedition.  For this journey we have put together a selection of small lodges and unique facilities so you can enjoy the finest wildlife experiences and a deep taste of Kenyan hospitality.  Each lodge takes in a limited number of guests so you have personal contact with your hosts at every stop; this paired with the freedom to design the pace and flavor of your safari one day at a time. 

This safari is not just about Kenya's spectacular wildlife, but also about its people. The safari is set up to give you time with amazing people, like Oria and Iain Douglas-Hamilton, internationally known elephant researchers, and Will and Emma Craig, founders of the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. In addition, you will have unhurried time with Luca Belpietro and Antonella Bonomi, two Europeans on the forefront of micro-economic development ecotourism projects in Kenya, and the Grammaticas family, owners of the marvelous Little Governors Camp.

Expect unique opportunities for wildlife viewing, luxurious accommodations, fine cuisine and a wide selection of activities including day and night game drives, walking safaris, horseback safaris, warrior walkabouts, an optional balloon safari followed by a champagne breakfast, and close-range wildlife observation from a blind - complemented by the pleasure and efficiency of bush plane transit between lodges.  With no time spent on overland travel, you can make the most of every hour of this unforgettable experience.

Shorten your Adventure

 

Consider shortening the length of your safari.  Instead of planning a two-week adventure, spend eight to ten days on safari.  You can still have a quality experience in a shorter amount of time.  Every day on safari adds to your cost.  Balance the length of your safari with your budget.
