Explore Africa with Our Safaris

Set off on the trip of your dreams with assistance from Jody Cole and her knowledgeable team. We offer two options for exploring Africa: Featured Safaris and Private Safaris.

Featured Safaris

Our featured safaris are trips planned in advance and expertly guided by Jody Cole. These trips have set schedules and itineraries designed to showcase a particular region of Africa. Jody’s safaris include adventures to the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, treks through Botswana’s delta reeds, rides through the dusty Serengeti plains, and rhino tracking in South Africa. Every trip is unique and showcases the expansive knowledge Jody has acquired during her 15 years of leading trips and over 21 years of going to Africa. Attention to detail and gracious hospitality are hallmarks of all her trips.

Sober, Wild & Free Women's Safari

July 9-19, 2021

Imagine how it must have felt for Beryl Markham, David Livingston or Karen Blixen to set foot on African soil for the first time. That thrill of the unknown and the draw of the very creatures seen only in movies, pictures or our imagination is what still draws new generations to explore the “Dark Continent” known as Africa. You are invited to participate in a safari to South Africa.

Great Apes and Great Plains

February 7-17, 2021

Being face to face with a mountain gorilla is perhaps one of the most breath-taking wildlife experiences on earth!!! We get so close to these awesome giant primates that you stare at each other blankly not knowing who will break the long silence first. The Serengeti is the most famous wildlife area in the world. More than 4 million animals reside within its ecosystem, including a million and a half wildebeest, a quarter million zebra and tens of thousands of their predators like lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena and crocodile.

Zakouma National Park, Chad

March 25-April 1, 2021

A park once ravaged by civil conflict and poaching, Zakouma is one of African Parks real turnaround success stories. There is ample evidence of their conservation efforts being rewarded including a buffalo population that has grown to over 10,000, a thriving elephant population was brought back from the brink of extinction and Zakouma is home to 50% of Africa’s Kordofan Giraffe (three horns!) population. This trip is designed to show you the other, real Africa and is guaranteed to be memorable and “one for the books”. If hot, untamed and untouched is the way you like it-then this is one safari you cannot miss.
