Explore our top African destinations
Years of living and working in Africa have instilled founders Marcia and Elizabeth Gordon with a sure sense of what makes a memorable safari. It is a sensibility that is shared by our team, most of whom have traveled extensively and lived overseas. We truly believe that you can “have it all” on our best safari – comfort, adventure, and style.
How about a safari in the United States?
The United States is a patchwork of national parks, national forests, public lands, state preserves, and thousands of private lodges, camps, and ranches. Even though we might be itching to stamp our passports, now is time for a great reminder that our own country has some of the most diverse, isolated, dramatic, and beautiful terrains in the world. Find your best safari close to home!

In short — Travel that nourishes the soul.
