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.

Another Perfect Trip
"Morocco was our fourth trip with Natural High and true to past trips, the itinerary was right on point for our interest and goals, all logistics went off without a hitch and the service throughout the trip was high end. Everyone we worked with were friendly and professional. We had a fantastic time...Thank you!"
Perfect holiday from start to finish.
"Absolutely excellent service. The itinerary was spot on and the whole holiday worked like clockwork. The pre holiday notes and briefing were most useful too. I would have no hesitation in recommending Natural High Safaris to others."
Fabulous trip to Tanzania
"This is the second time we have used Natural High Safaris, and again they organised an outstanding holiday for us, this time in Tanzania, combining a safari and beach holiday that was top-notch. Highly recommend them, with huge range of experience and desire to really understand what it is their clients want - and then delivering! Thanks to Catherine Ronan."
An outstanding trip to the Himalayas superbly designed by Natural High.
"Natural High organised a 2 week family trip to Ladakh in August 2018. Andrea Hulme used her local knowledge to design an exciting trip that included a 5 day trek, white water rafting and numerous cultural visits and experiences. Their local partners Shakti were absolutely outstanding and we loved staying in the village houses as opposed to hotels. Their female Ladakhi guide Sonam was really one of the best we have every had on our travels."
Natural High
"Yet again another great holiday arranged by Natural High - Air France tried to ruin it but Natural High and their local agent were very helpful in resolving the problems caused. ."
