Fourteen years of guiding, from the dunes of Namibia to the gorilla forests of Uganda. Eight travellers at most, lodges I have slept in myself, and days with room in them. Every trip on this page is one I lead in person.

Windhoek, Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, Damaraland, Etosha
Namibia: dunes to the Skeleton Coast
10 days, from from €3,400
The oldest desert on earth, a coast of wrecks and fog, desert elephants and three days of game drives in Etosha. Overland in two 4x4s, eight travellers, lodges all the way.
Arusha, Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti
Tanzania: Serengeti and the crater
8 days, from from €4,200
Elephants in the baobabs, a day inside the Ngorongoro crater and three nights in the Serengeti timed for the migration. Tented camps, open-sided Land Cruisers, nobody in a hurry.
Stone Town, Jozani, Paje, Nungwi
Zanzibar, slowly
7 days, from from €1,900
A week on the island with nothing booked before ten. Stone Town's alleys and spice farms, the red colobus monkeys of Jozani, kitesurfers at Paje and a dhow at sunset off Nungwi.
Entebbe, Bwindi, Queen Elizabeth, Murchison Falls
Uganda: gorillas and the Nile
9 days, from from €5,600
An hour with a mountain gorilla family in Bwindi, chimpanzees in Kibale, boat safaris on the Kazinga channel and the Nile forcing itself through a seven-metre gap at Murchison.
“We have travelled a lot. Nothing came close to the morning in the crater with Daniel narrating quietly from the front seat.”
