What is an island safari?
sa·fa·ri /səˈfɑːri/ Swahili · noun “a journey”

It was never about the Land Rover.

Long before it meant game drives and checklists of lions, safari was simply the Swahili word for a journey - borrowed from the Arabic safar, to travel. The adventure was always in the going, not the destination. An African Island Safari is exactly that: a journey woven across the Indian Ocean’s islands - by boat, by seaplane, and through every moment in between.

Island to island

Twin-centre journeys stitched together by boat, seaplane and helicopter.

Beyond the beach

Diving, lemur treks, spice markets, dhow sunsets and volcano hikes.

Local soul

Creole kitchens, Swahili-coast culture and the islands’ own communities.

Designed around you

No fixed route and no crowds - your journey, your pace, your people.
