Safari
“You cannot leave Africa, Africa said. It is always with you, there inside your head. Our rivers run in currents in the swirl of your thumbprints; our drumbeats counting out your pulse; our coastline the silhouette of your soul.”-Bridget Dore
One of those places for the whole team here at Rachel Cleary travel that has changed us forever. From the grasslands of the Serengeti to the wetlands of the Okavango Delta, The Great Migration in the Masai Mara to Gorilla trekking in Rwanda we will help you select the right destination for your safari.
Africa isn’t a one-size-fits-all destination. That is why we create bespoke unique trips for our clients. We harness our first-hand experience to craft your individual itinerary to perfectly align with your interests, budget, and travel dates.
An African safari can be life changing, that we know firsthand.
While initially you may be drawn to Africa because of the wildlife, we need to warn you, it may get under your skin and you will find you are drawn back time and time again for reasons that go far beyond the wildlife.
Part of what we love about booking trips to Africa is the alignment it has with our commitment as a team to making a difference to the local communities, wildlife conservation and ecology alongside delivering the best possible experience is at the core of everything we do.
You too can make a contribution to Africa when you visit. One of the greatest ways you do this is simply by traveling and being aware of where your money goes and what it supports.
Every safari booked with Rachel Cleary Travel sponsors an orphaned elephant for a year. You will receive your adoption papers and can even meet your little bundle of snuffling joy when in Kenya.
We have carefully selected our favourite African safari experiences for you to explore.
