Every departure is capped at 8 travelers, built with the same camps and guides we use for private safaris. You share the vehicle. You don’t share the standard.
New departures open soon. Groups this size fill quickly — ask to be notified.
At this price, most people expect a private safari. A group departure isn’t a cheaper version of that — it’s the same trip, same guides, same camps, shared between 8 people instead of built around 1 or 2.
We cap every departure at 8 for a reason: past that number, a safari vehicle stops being intimate and starts being a tour bus. Eight is small enough that everyone still gets to ask the guide questions, still gets the front seat on the day it matters.
If you’ve traveled with East Africa Safari Guides before or read what past guests say below, you’ll notice something: nobody describes their group as strangers by day three.

I travelled in East Africa for over a month with my wife and infant, and Goodluck and Omari were hands down the best people we met in our entire trip. Right from the pick-up from the airport to the entire experience in Tanzania, everything was well planned and executed. Omari was our personal guide —…
