Top 4 Upcoming Group Safaris

It’s obvious that we love curating individualized journeys for independent travelers, and we don’t often highlight group trips. Sometimes, however, a set departure is just the right option for your needs, and the four trips below warrant a special shout-out. These are great options for solo travelers seeking fellow globe-trotters to connect with, or for couples and families excited to have an independent, personalized guide host and educate them throughout their time in-country. Below are our top four upcoming group trips.

Born and raised in Tanzania, Mavroudis’ love for, and knowledge of, his country is a true delight.

2. Explore South Africa with John Moody: May 2018


John’s last guided trip in Zimbabwe.

We’re thrilled for guests to get to know EJ Safari Specialist John Moody personally. A long-time travel professional, John grew up in Africa and his passion for its wilderness areas and its welcoming people is infectious.

Zambia is one of our favorite, oft-overlooked, safari destinations. It retains a certain “back to basics” enchantment for the adventurous, and this set departure enhances natural wonder with hands-on conservation education involvement. Rhino tracking, community engagement, the Zambian Carnivore Project, and more make this an unforgettable journey beyond game-viewing.
