Not knowing which country is the best enquiry you can send
The month and the number of nights narrow it faster than any amount of reading.

Say in the message box how much effort you want the trip to ask of you. That one sentence removes three of the five countries before anybody looks at a camp.
It goes to our partner agency in Kenya, who plan directly across all of East Africa and look after you on the ground.
- A country recommendation with the reasoning attached
- The honest caveat for whichever one we suggest

The East Africa Comparison
Five countries side by side on the things that actually differ, with the reason each one disappoints the couples it disappoints.
- How to compare countries without comparing brochures
- Kenya: variety, and the conservancy answer
- Tanzania: scale, and what it costs
- Rwanda: an hour, and a complete trip in six nights
- Uganda: the wilder version, and the effort it asks
- Zanzibar: the second week
- The five side by side
- Which two combine, and which two do not
- What each costs, relative to the others
No cost, no obligation. We ask for an email so we can send it and, if you want it, follow up once.
