East Africa

East Africa is where the classic African safari was born—and with Howard Saunders Safaris, it’s reimagined for the modern explorer seeking privacy, authenticity, and understated luxury. 

From the vast golden plains of the Serengeti to the misty forests of Rwanda, the flamingo-filled lakes of the Great Rift Valley, the snow-capped majesty of Mount Kilimanjaro, and the palm-fringed shores of the Swahili coast, this region is rich in diversity, both in landscape and experience. 

Howard personally crafts journeys across a carefully chosen collection of countries: 

• Kenya – the heart of safari, home to the Masai Mara, Samburu, Laikipia, Amboseli, and Howard’s own mobile camps in private conservancies 

• Tanzania – offering the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Selous, Ruaha, and the wild south 

• Rwanda & Uganda – for intimate, life-changing encounters with mountain gorillas and chimpanzees 

• Zanzibar & the Swahili Coast – to unwind in barefoot luxury after days in the bush 

• Ethiopia – for those seeking culture, history, and landscapes unlike anywhere else in Africa 

Whether you’re seeking a traditional game-viewing safari, a walking or horseback expedition, or an elegant combination of bush and beach, Howard will design and host a journey that reflects your personal interests, travel style, and pace. 

Every itinerary is completely bespoke. Every detail is handled with care. And every day is built around delivering an experience that is both exclusive and unforgettable.
