On a proper mobile safari, the journey becomes the destination as you move with your own private camp over several days.
In a remote wilderness far from the modern world, things we’d normally take for granted become the ultimate luxury.
For those who want to truly experience the best of Africa's wilderness, there aren't many better ways to do this than by heading off with a mobile safari camp.
At the heart of this approach to travel is mobility. To explore an area properly you need to move. To move you need to be light on your feet. And to be light on your feet you need to be clever about what to take. But this is also about limiting our impact on pristine wildernesses.
Journeys like this are greater than the sum of their parts. The sense of fulfilment builds like a play in several acts, with secrets revealing themselves slowly as you cover the ground. The joy you’ll feel afterwards is truly profound – and it's likely you'll be hooked.
Mobile safaris are proof that luxury is all about context. Wait until you experience the joy of freshly cooked food by a camp fire surrounded by a million acres of Africa's wilderness.”
WHAT WE MEAN BY MOBILE SAFARIS - AND WHY WE LOVE THEM
These are old-school safaris of the best kind. We use portable safari camps to visit areas where there are no permanent lodges and therefore few other tourists. With true mobility comes the need for intelligent simplicity; leave behind everything you dont need, but take everything you either can't or don't want to - live without for a few days. Out goes wifi and rose-petals, in go cold drinks and simple delicious food to be prepared ingeniously over a simple bush stove. In the past we've even packed special lamps for guests with an interest in moths.
The style of camp varies from highly luxurious ones where you can expect Egyptian cotton sheets in large walk-in tents and trucks to move them, right down to flycamps that are little more than a bedroll under a mosquito net.

Reviews
Natural High
"I do recommend them."
Natural High
"They were incredibly helpful with choosing which camps we should go to and they took extra time to learn about us as a family so that they could be most able to advise us...I found them extremely willing to answer any questions and always responded in an extremely quick manner. Our itinerary went exactly as outlined and was very comforting to have someone every step of the way who was there to facilitate our moves between camps. We felt very lucky to have seen the parts of Kenya that we did and we would have never been able to research enough to affect the same things on our own."

Best holiday and a true "once in a lifetime" experience
"I've been on many lovely holidays, but have never before had the ultimate luxury of such a personalised itinerary. Natural High Safari's attention to detail and total consideration of our particular requirements was quite simply brilliant! Our guide Joseph taught us more than we could ever have hoped, and my sons are looking forward to taking him on an English Safari, though we'll be sorely challenged to make it remotely as exciting and wonderful as the trip we had with him."

We've yet to find another camp in Africa that comes close to Greystoke, where the location and sense of remove from the real world alone make this an exceptional experience. Add chimps, waterfalls, swimming in the Lake and you'll see why it's so popular. Over the last few years we've been lucky en...
