Epic Independent and Privately Guided Journeys

Way more active than this male lion! A safari that starts at an iconic lodge in Arusha (Ngare Sero) and ends with 3 wonderful nights at an iconic property in the Ngorongoro - Serengeti system (Ndutu Safari Lodge). In between you're staying near the majestic Great Rift Valley wall in Lake Manyara National Park (Wayo Manyara Green camp), the spectacular surrounds of Entamanu Ngorongoro on the crater rim and walking in the Serengeti at a stunning mobile camp, Ikoma. If you want the full African experience and authentic taste of the bush and all its richness, this is a fantastic and great value safari option.

This safari offers incredible game-viewing in private concessions within the Okavango Delta and the big sky country of the Makgadikgadi Pans in an iconic camp. It combines both perennial and seasonal habitats of the Delta. An array of activities are available including game-drives, walks, boating and traditional dugout canoes. The camps are peerless with large walk-in en-suited tents with 24 hour power and camp wi-fi. This safari can be combined with either Cape Town or Victoria Falls (or both).

This fly-in/fly-out adventure is the ultimate way to experience Antarctica and avoids 4 nights ordinarily taken up crossing the Drake Passage. You embark by aircraft from Punta Arenas in southern Chile (the gateway to Patagonia) with a 2 hour flight over the Drake Passage to the South Shetland Islands. You then board the small expeditionary ship the Magellan Explorer and embark on an incredible 6 night cruise to the Antarctic peninsula. With a ceiling of just 73 passengers this ship delivers Antarctica in the best possible way, comfort and amazing adventure with two activities per day. Kayaking activities are available and limited to 10 people in total. The 10 spots must be booked in advance (at additional cost) and are not interchangeable with other cruise participants. The logistics of this programme make for an easy extension into Chilean Patagonia either pre or post cruise. This is a fantastic once in a lifetime experience that many of our clients have taken up.

This safari centres on magnificent camps and lodges in Tanzania whilst taking in the vastness of the Serengeti. Depending on the time of year you travel, catching part of the great migration. Starting in the safari hub of Arusha at stunning Legendary Lodge, you venture to Little Chem Chem, one of the country's most talked about camps nestled between Tarangire and Lake Manyara NP. Then it's onto magnificent Mwiba, Singita and the Serengeti. It can also combine well with gorilla and chimp trekking in Uganda or Rwanda or some days on the squeaky white sand beaches of the East African coast or Islands of Zanzibar or Seychelles.

From the magnificent architecture and beauty of Quito, to the pristine rainforests of the Mashpi biodiversity reserve, rounded out with 7 glorious nights aboard the luxury of M/Y Grace sailing through the Galapagos Islands. Bird and animal encounters that are unsurpassed.

Botswana is a transformed landscape in the green or emerald season - roughly from December through to March. Migrant birds return herbivores are calving and the air is alive. The spectacle of the zebra migration is also likely as part of the Makgadikgadi experience. Rain is generally in the form of afternoon storms, which can bring on magnificent skies and sunsets. The camps have less people, the predators are still hunting and rates are cheaper. There is lots of upside to a green season safari at these wonderful camps in the Salt pans and the Okavango.

One of Epic's most loved safaris for families. Often take up by multi-generational family groups at some of Kenya's best camps. Offering activities for all ages, including the amazing Kalepo camp in the heart of Samburuland - in the Mathews Mountains in the north of the country. This is a gem that will have your kids off their phones and into nature!

From the desert to the mountains, ice and snow, plus the colour and culture of beautiful Santiago. Chile and Patagonia in particular, is a hot destination at the moment and right at the top of many traveller's bucket lists. This is an adventure that will confirm for you why it's so very special.
