Stepping out of the vehicle and into the wild on foot opens up an entirely new perspective, bringing you closer to nature than ever before. African Environments is one of the few companies granted permission to lead multi-day walking safaris in the Serengeti’s vast Wilderness Area – a pristine, untouched region closed to the general public, where wildlife thrives…

Whilst on a walk in the montane forest of Mount Meru last week a group of guest heard an awful din from up ahead. There was clearly some drama going on! The guide and the ranger had a discussion with the group – the noise was from a number of baboons up ahead – and they were clearly very…
One of life’s great unknowns …. When will the rains arrive in the Serengeti!!!!

We were quickly introduced to African Environments, and the experience working with the entirety of this team for the last year has been fantastic. From first contact, they’re always…

At Itikoni the attentive camp staff struck the right balance of being on hand when needed but being scarce when you wanted to enjoy the verdant montane rainforest surroundings.
