Gabon is a rare safari for those who look deeper.

This is not a destination built around quick sightings or predictable days. It is rainforest, river, coastal forest and the possibility of truly special wildlife encounters, from lowland gorillas to mandrills.

For travellers who have done the classic safari routes and are ready for something more remote, Gabon offers a different kind of reward. It asks for patience, curiosity and a willingness to travel beyond the obvious.
And for the right traveller, that is exactly what makes it unforgettable.

Mandrills and gorillas offer two very different reasons to consider Gabon in July and August.

Mandrills are colourful, social and often seen in extraordinary gatherings, particularly around Lopé. Lowland gorillas are quieter, more elusive and deeply humbling to encounter in the coastal forests of Loango.

Together, they make Gabon a remarkable destination for travellers who are interested in specialist wildlife, not just the familiar safari checklist. This is a journey that rewards patience, good timing and expert planning.
For repeat safari travellers, Gabon offers something rare: a safari experience that still feels raw, remote and full of discovery.

Gabon offers one of Africa’s most remarkable safari experiences, especially during the prime dry season months.

Primate season, shifts the focus from classic big game to rare, specialist wildlife encounters in deep rainforest.

In Lopé, mandrills can gather in impressive numbers, creating one of the most striking primate sightings on the continent. In Loango, lowland gorillas move quietly through coastal forest, offering a very different kind of safari experience.

It is slower, wilder and deeply rewarding. The kind of journey for travellers who want to look beyond the obvious and experience Africa in a more remote, authentic way.

Not every safari needs to follow the same path.

Borneo and Chad offer two very different ways to travel beyond the standard safari experience. Borneo is for travellers drawn to rainforest wildlife, river journeys and quiet discovery. Chad is for those who want vast landscapes, unique wildlife and safari spaces that still feel truly wild.

Both are suited to curious travellers who want more than a pre-packaged itinerary, and both need thoughtful planning to get right.

Chad is one of those rare safari destinations that still feels truly wild.

Remote, untouched and far from the well-worn safari routes, this is a journey for travellers who are drawn to places with space, silence and a real sense of discovery.
In Ennedi, vast Sahara landscapes, sculpted sandstone formations and ancient rock art create a world that feels almost otherworldly. In Zakouma, abundant wildlife, exceptional birding and wide-open wilderness offer a safari experience that feels raw, authentic and deeply rewarding.

This is not a polished, predictable safari. It is for those who want to go beyond the familiar and experience a destination that still holds its wildness.

Borneo is a safari of a different kind.

Here, the experience is not about wide open plains or ticking off the usual sightings. It is about slowing down, listening carefully and looking into the rainforest canopy for movement.
From Sepilok to Kinabatangan, Tabin and Danum Valley, this journey brings together river safaris, rainforest walks, rare wildlife encounters and the kind of small details that make a destination unforgettable.

For travellers who have done the classic safari and are ready for something more layered, Borneo offers a deeply rewarding change of pace.

Exposing the next generation to real life conservation work with a hands on experience is an incredible way to value add your safari experience for the long term.

It is a great thing to watch these Pangolins that have been recovered from the Wildlife Trafficking Trade find a new home and be able to thrive in Gorongosa. This young lady arrived as a baby and is now almost up to the right weight to be released in the coming weeks.
