Wild places.Remarkable journeys.Stories worth carrying home.
WildMaze Safaris designs private, tailor-made journeys across Kenya, Tanzania and the Indian Ocean coast — planned in detail, guided with care and paced entirely around you.
Every journey begins as a conversation. From that we build the route, choose the camps, appoint the guide and hold the logistics together so that nothing on the ground falls to you. Private 4×4 Land Cruisers, luxury lodges and tented camps, and a personal safari concierge from arrival to departure.
Our storyThe way we travel
The best days on safari are the ones nobody planned.
We hold itineraries loosely. A private vehicle and your own guide mean a morning can change because a leopard did — that you can stay for an hour with a single sighting, or leave the road entirely because the light is better elsewhere. What is fixed is everything behind the scenes: flights, transfers, camps, the table waiting at the right moment.
Private
Your own guide and 4×4 Land Cruiser on every journey.
Considered
Camps chosen for position and quiet, not for scale.
Held together
A personal concierge and 24/7 support throughout.

Safari at ground level and above it — walking with an armed guide, riding out across the plains, or lifting off for a scenic flight along the escarpment.
Two people, a great deal of space
Honeymoon & Romance
Private bush dinners, sundowners on a rock above the plains and accommodation chosen for seclusion rather than scale.
Built for every age in the vehicle
Family Safaris
Child-friendly guides, junior ranger programmes and days paced so that the youngest travellers stay as engaged as the oldest.
Recovery between early mornings
Wellness
Couples spa treatments and quiet afternoons built into the itinerary, in camps where the treatment room looks out over the bush.

Corporate & Executive
Executive retreats, incentive travel and team-building safaris, with full conference and event management.
Destinations
Where we travel
Kenya
Maasai Mara
Open grassland, river crossings and the densest concentration of big cats in East Africa. The stage for the Great Migration between July and October.
Best time — July – October for the migration; year-round for big cats
Kenya
Amboseli
Great elephant herds crossing dust and swamp beneath the snows of Kilimanjaro. Wide horizons and some of the most photographed light in Africa.
Best time — June – October, January – February

Samburu
Northern drylands along the Ewaso Ng'iro river, home to species found nowhere further south — Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk.
Best time — June – October
Kenya
Laikipia
Private conservancies where walking, horseback riding and night drives are possible, and where rhino conservation happens in front of you.
Best time — Year-round
Kenya
Tsavo
Immense, red-earthed and quiet. Volcanic hills, lava flows and the spring-fed clarity of Mzima, with far fewer vehicles than the classic parks.
Best time — June – October
Kenya
Great Rift Lakes
Naivasha and Nakuru — freshwater and soda lakes framed by escarpments, boat safaris, birdlife in the thousands and easy road access from Nairobi.
Best time — Year-round
Tanzania
Serengeti
Endless plains that carry the migration south into the calving grounds. Vast, cinematic and best reached by light aircraft.

A collapsed caldera holding a self-contained world of lion, elephant and black rhino, with the highland forest and Maasai grazing lands above.

Zanzibar
Spice island shorelines, Stone Town's carved doors and dhows on a turquoise channel — the natural close to a bush journey.
Best time — June – October, December – February

Best time — December – March, July – October

When to see the Great Migration
The herds move on rainfall, not a calendar. A month-by-month reading of where to be, and why the river is only part of the story.
