Beyond the Horizon: Joining the Great Migration in 2026
A Land Cruiser rumbles across the Serengeti, Tanzania.
The largest movement of land animals on the planet
While our 2025 African safaris have officially reached capacity, I am delighted to announce a brand-new adventure for those ready to witness the wild in its most raw, magnificent state. In February 2026, we are heading to the Southern Circuit to experience the Great Migration—the largest movement of land animals on the planet.
February is a singular moment in the Serengeti. As the herds gather on the nutrient-rich southern plains, the Calving Season begins. Witnessing hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebras gathered on the horizon is an experience that stays with you forever. It is a time of incredible vulnerability and high-octane predator action—a tutorial in the circle of life.

Knobby Tyres and Skilled Wheelmen: The Real Secret to the African Bush
Sometimes we come to the end of the road. And keep going!
Gear and Grit
Deep in the bush, the line between a legendary adventure and a total breakdown is drawn by the gear we use and the experts who guide it. We rely on rugged knobby tyres to bite into unpredictable African terrain, ensuring neither deep mud nor shifting sands can stall the journey. But the true magic lies with our skilled wheelmen, whose mastery of the land turns every grueling mile into a seamless, world-class safari experience.

An Archaeologist's Rig (Part 17)
I came across this vintage Toyota Land Cruiser (FJ-40 series) in the AlUla Oasis in northern Saudi Arabia. If I could just get this sweet rig in my suitcase, I would surprise Vicki!
My daughter has an eye for such machines. Check out these sweet Landys she found in Germany. Follow the link here.
Lake Manyara: A Good Park for Beginners
The sign at the entrance read “Home of Tree Climbing Lions.”
I thought it best to keep one eye skyward at all times. Having 400 pounds of tooth and claw fall on your head would be terrible surprise. It also would make an end to a lovely safari that Vicki and I and Mr Nixon had planned in the East African country of Tanzania.
