Safari & Wildlife Holidays

Safari and wildlife holidays offer the opportunity for exceptional nature viewing surrounded by incredible landscapes.

On a safari holiday in Africa, set off across acacia-dotted plains as the sun rises, watch as a pride of lions stalk their prey and pass waterways teeming with hippos. Or perhaps catch the thundering passage of the wildebeest migration or trek to see mountain gorillas. As the sun sets, end an unforgettable day sharing stories around the campfire. No day is ever the same on safari. Your daily routine will vary depending on your choice of camp and the wildlife experiences available. Read our short guide as to what to expect.

Whether it’s your first time on safari or you’re returning for more wildlife experiences, Trailfinders offers the widest range of safari and wildlife holidays. Visit a number of reserves on a sociable small group safari or private safari, or combine with other destinations on a fly drive safari or fly in safari. In addition, our excellent range of city hotels, beach resorts and local tours makes it easy to extend your holiday and tailormake your own unique itinerary.

Wildlife experiences can also be enjoyed elsewhere in the world. Track tigers in one of India’s national parks, take a jeep safari in Yala National Park in Sri Lanka, encounter magnificent birdlife in the Galápagos Islands, or come face to face with brown bears in one of Canada’s wilderness lodges. Take a look at the destinations section, below, to see our wide variety of wildlife hot spots across the globe.

With more than 50 years’ experience, Trailfinders has developed the skills and expertise needed to put together all the pieces for successful safari and wildlife holidays. Our expert travel consultants are mines of information, gathered from personal travel experience and are the best people to ask to create your perfect trip.

Safari and coast in Kenya

"We booked a ten day trip to Kenya in July- five days' safari, five days at the coast. It was an excellent holiday in so many ways. All the practical arrangements worked perfectly, and the only problem - a change of connecting flight (by Kenya Airways) - was handled calmly and efficiently, so that our plans were not disrupted. The safari days in Naivasha, Nakuru, Amboseli and Tsavo East, were fabulous, and we were grateful to Pollman Safaris for their organisation and our skilful and resourceful driver. The game lodges and our hotel - Sarova Whitesands, Mombasa - were very comfortable, and the food was very good indeed. Thank you, Trailfinders; we couldn't recommend you more highly."

Ollie Cave reassured me as a first…

"Ollie Cave reassured me as a first timer to safari and fully explained our full itinerary followed by a luxury hotel vacation for my big birthday, starting with a safari in the Serengeti reserve, and followed by a 6 night stay at luxury Matemwe Attitude in Zanzibar. I am very pleased with the service and am looking forward to a great vacation."

Incredible Service

"Myself and my wife have been looking into honeymoon ideas for the guts of a year and top of our list was an African safari/trip to Zanzibar. When looking into the logistics of how to make everything work (aligning flights times, accommodation, game start times, etc.) we were quite overwhelmed and found organising it quite stressful. When visiting the Trailfinders website, we found a package called "Tanzanian Safari & Zanzibar Beach" which was exactly what we were looking for. Without hesitation, I rang the phone number provided which was answered by one of your fantastic agents, Caoimhe. Caoimhe spent time with me on the phone running through the different options available to us that fully met our preferences and even helped consistently to ensure we were getting the absolute best offers that suited out budget. Within less than an hour, Caoimhe had our full itinerary built out for us (within budget) and we could not be more excited to get going. Aside from being extremely good and accommodating at her job, she was an absolute pleasure to speak with on the phone which just made the whole experience lovely. We could not be happier with the support and expertise she provided and we would fully recommend anyone even half-thinking of booking through Trailfinders to just bite the bullet and do it. With team members like Caoimhe there to help, you'll be wondering why you didn't do it sooner."
