If you're planning a luxury safari from New York, you're in good hands.

From New York that experience is closer than you think: ≈ 14h direct to a direct connection into the parks.
Why a safari from New York
We're a family of guides who grew up on this land. That's why a New York traveler gets an itinerary that reads like a local's secret, not a brochure: the finest camps, a private guide and seamless logistics at every step. Park fees, full-board camps, internal flights — all included, all coordinated, so your only job is to show up at the airport in New York.
This page is built around what New York travelers actually ask us — flight times, budgets, the best window, and how a private safari is put together. Read on, then tell us how you like to travel and we'll price it in hours, not weeks.
