SPIRIT OF SAFARI

We’ve been lucky enough to have embarked on many safaris, and some of our most cherished memories are in Africa. Our goal is to make your dream safari come to life, to fall in love with the very destinations that have captured our hearts. Listening to your preferred experiences and comfort level of adventure, our incredibly experienced safari specialists will guide you, tailoring the perfect safari holiday to match even your wildest expectations.

Safari is a wild concept; you’re venturing into the unknown and traversing some of the most uninhabited terrains of our planet. Where wildlife reigns and we are simply the spectators. When done well, it is incredibly rewarding, but to do it right you need proven expertise by your side, navigating you through the brilliant landscapes in the utmost comfort and luxury. Just like the definition of adventure is subjective, safari conjures up different images for everyone. For some, it may be the thrill of witnessing great herds of wildebeest thundering across the plains with a pride of lions in pursuit. For others, it might be the sheer silence as you sit for hours observing a magnificent predator in its natural environment.

So, let’s get inspired.

Your first stop is Tarangire National Park, your home for two nights. Set off in search of incredible wildlife including herds of elephants, lions, leopards and buffalo. Leave Tarangire for the foothills of the Ngorongoro Highlands. Spend two nights in our partner lodge, perfectly placed for discoveries of the Ngorongoro Crater. The crater acts as a natural enclosure for a wide variety of animals. Next up is the iconic Serengeti. One of the finest wildlife sanctuaries in the world, the Serengeti boasts 1.5 million hectares of savannah.

WAYS TO ENHANCE YOUR TANZANIA SAFARI

REACH THE ROOF OF AFRICA One of the world’s greatest feats, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro’s arid slopes is an epic adventure and a courageous addition to your safari expedition. Ascend through five different habitats and pierce the clouds before arriving at the summit where you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the African savannah and Rift Valley. Our expertise and trusted partners promise you’re in safe hands during your hike. IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE CULTURE OF STONE TOWN A stay in Stone Town during your Tanzania holiday helps to unveil Zanzibar’s fascinating history. A maze of colourful and chaotic alleyways, Arab, Indian, Persian and European influences blend with local African traditions in this bustling town. On a visit to Stone Town, be sure to see the Town Market, Slave Market, House of Wonders, Sultan Palace and The National Museum. EXPERIENCE THE ALLURE OF PEMBA ISLAND Regarded as one of Africa’s best scuba diving destinations, Pemba Island is part of the heavenly Zanzibar Archipelago. Dreamy sunsets settle on the Indian Ocean horizon and powdery beaches promise serene relaxation, while inland, the island’s lush hills are dotted with clove plantations. Scattered with ruins of mosques and tombs, pair interesting history with discoveries of thriving coral reefs.

WHY TANZANIA? We could write a whole book about the allure of Tanzania, one of the world’s finest adventure destinations. To give you a hint of how special it is, hear the experiences from our team.

The Ngorongoro Crater was an absolutely stunning place to visit. It's a caldera, which is an ancient volcano that has collapsed in on itself, and it's more than 16 kilometres in diameter. It’s a garden of wildlife, with some of the best views in the world. Incredible.

We were driving between two locations in the Serengeti. It was on a Sunday, just passing by the villages and hearing the people sing. They were at mass. And that was lovely because it was just a community coming together. And I was just listening to it going by, it was just so beautiful.

One of my best memories to date is summiting Kilimanjaro in 2012 while I was studying in college. The achievement of being the first out of our group to summit and seeing the sunrise on the top of Kilimanjaro was something quite spectacular.

OUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCES ALLOW US TO TAILOR INCREDIBLE ITINERARIES FOR OUR CLIENTS

CONVERSATIONS ON SAFARI

WHAT MAKES SAFARI SO SPECIAL? In Swahili, safari means “journey” or “expedition”. For us, it means so much more. We began a conversation on safari with our Travel Specialists and started with the most pressing question; what makes it so special? For our Managing Director, Brendan Breen, “The wildlife’s quest for survival is fascinating. I think there's no doubt about that, and the delicacy of the environment that they're in, how quickly it can all change is something very real when it's happening in front of you.” “My first experience of a kill on safari was in the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania. The lion pack identified a herd of zebra. It was exactly as you would see on the TV, where the slowest, weakest zebra just wasn't able to keep up and very quickly it was surrounded by three lions who brought it down. That was it, game over. It was gruesome but natural, and the noise and the frenetic nature of it is something that'll live with me forever.” For our Senior Travel Specialist, Mary, it’s the remoteness and the vastness of the area that makes safari so unique. “Being out in the wild and just marvelling at the fact that there are all these amazing wild animals roaming free around you. It’s really special.”

WHERE IS THE BEST FIRST-TIME SAFARI DESTINATION FOR FAMILIES?

For a first-time safari or a family with young children, we recommend South Africa. A bustling, busy country, family holidays can take on many forms. Experience the magnificent city of Cape Town, venture to the peaceful Winelands and witness the incredible Big Five in Kruger National Park – just a short flight from Cape Town. Brendan explains, “We know the game lodges that work really well and you'll have an excellent guide with you for the duration of your stay who will even go so far as joining you for dinner to talk through some of the wildlife you've seen. This type of itinerary is a wonderful option for somebody who hasn't been to Africa before. You're combining the best that the country has to offer with a superb safari experience in an area where safari is possible 12 months of the year.” Mary explains that South African safari lodges manage their days differently than other destinations which may include full days of safari. “Though you're up early and you go out for a game drive, you generally have tea and breakfast muffins when you're out there. You come back in for breakfast, and you have the middle of the day free. So that's quite nice, be it you're on your honeymoon or you're a young family, you can spend time by the pool, you can have a nap, you can read a book. And then you

have lunch and afternoon tea before heading out on another game drive in the afternoon for maybe two and a half hours.” As your little ones get older, you can kick the adventure up a notch and enjoy a more off-the-grid, experiential holiday. Teenagers are more likely to be tolerant of longer transfers and lengthier safaris that in turn, benefit you with a more adrenaline-filled safari experience. Tanzania is a magnificent choice for families with teens, as is Kenya. We can also limit transfer times and arrange a safari on par with the Serengeti in Tarangire National Park, much nearer to the airport, avoiding more time spent on the road. WHAT MAKE OROKO TAILORED SAFARIS SO SPECIAL? At OROKO, the first and most important thing when constructing a safari itinerary is exceptionally good logistics, really looking hard at how we place the route together to make sure that there isn't excessive time spent travelling in a four-wheel drive or too many early starts or internal flights. Secondly, we need to understand the customer’s preferred experiences, past adventures and what appealed to them and what didn’t. Then, it’s about tailoring a route and accommodations to best suit them, and to ensure that they’re embarking on an exclusive experience, away from the crowds. The way OROKO successfully ticks all of these boxes is simply down to our personalised approach, proven expertise and magnificent relationships with local providers and guides. Brendan speaks fondly of our partners on the ground; “We make a huge effort to partner with the very best providers in every area that we work in Africa. It's hugely important to have that kind of heritage and reliability.” From our partners in Namibia, a four-generation family who've been operating tourism before Namibia became an independent country in 1990, to our partner office in Tanzania, run by our dear friend who set up her first safari camp in Tanzania in 1983, the depth of knowledge and experience is unmatched. We take great pride in our loyal guides who take our customers on sensational journeys. For example, George, one of our Tanzania-based guides is an incred- ibly obliging, welcoming, and deeply knowledgeable guide. Aisling, our Senior Travel Specialist, shares that “Our customers just love having him with them. We know all of our guides personally and can guarantee that they will enhance the holiday experience.” Mary says that one of the most important parts of safari planning is choosing the right accommodation to fit your needs. Some of us would love to be lodging right in the middle of the action, excited at the prospect of a wild animal brushing against the luxury tent. Others want bricks and mortar for that added level of luxury and security. Our Travel Specialists will tailor both the routes and accommodations best suited to your idea of the ideal adventure, as well as give you insight on what to expect. Mary says, “I always advise people to bring earplugs because lions don't operate from nine to five. They can roar, and they can roar all night. It's not quiet. And it literally is the roar of the jungle and the wild.”

WHAT IS YOUR BEST SAFARI MEMORY? Mary shares a beautiful moment while on safari with her two children in Tanzania, an excellent destination for families with teens. She recalls sitting in the open-air safari vehicle while they spotted a rare black rhino with her baby. “I was in awe of this incredible animal, mother and son. But also, I was there as a mother with my son. On some primal level, we can all identify with the sort of maternal or paternal care that you see so openly from the different animals.” For Aisling, it was witnessing a beautiful moment between a mother lion and her cubs. “I was in the middle of the Serengeti. There was a mother and her three male cubs. She climbed up the tree first like a pro. And then each of them in turn tried to be as agile as her climbing up the tree. The first two sons got up, a bit wobbly, but they got up there. And then the third one had about four attempts getting up the tree. When he eventually got up, he fell out the other side. And it was great. You just heard the “thunk”. That's something quite memorable that will stick with you as long as you live.” For our Travel Specialist, Conor, his favourite memory took place in Shamwari Private Game Reserve in South Africa’s Eastern Cape. “I recall our last game drive when the ranger asked if there was an animal we had not seen yet. We told him that we had not seen a cheetah. He put the word out to all other rangers in the reserve and as we were returning to camp, he got a call on his radio that there was a sighting of two cheetahs. Next thing, we were face to face with two cheetahs looking down over the savannah from an elevated position as the sun set, an amazing end to a spectacular experience.” Brendan’s favourite memory is one most of us will probably only witness on our television screens, coming face-to-face with gorillas in Uganda. “It's hard to put how I felt into words. I mean it really is. Their mannerisms, their care for each other, and the maternal instinct between the mother and baby is just incredibly similar to the human instinct. The ferocity and the power of them is noticeable very quickly. You just get the sense that you would be utterly powerless if the gorilla decided he didn't like you. You just want to sit there in silence. It's like the famous David Attenborough encounter.”

I always advise people to bring earplugs because lions don't operate from nine to five. They can roar, and they can roar all night. It's not quiet. And it literally is the roar of the jungle and the wild.

BOTSWANA & ZAMBIA ULTRA LUXURY FLY SAFARI ZAMBEZI RIVER • VICTORIA FALLS • LINYANTI • OKAVANGO DELTA

WHAT'S INCLUDED

The unique waterways and floodplains are what define Botswana. The reason why it is so pristine is because it is an incredibly difficult destination to explore. When done right, with guidance from OROKO, it is truly incomparable in its beauty and wildlife. The perfect destination for the safari veteran, take the road less travelled as you embark on an exhilarating fly safari, combining Botswana’s floodplains with the remote Linyanti Wildlife Reserve and the pristine banks of the Zambezi River.

• All international and domestic flights, private transfers and guiding requirements. • 9 nights’ luxury Wilderness accommodation on the Zambezi River, in Linyanti Wildlife Reserve and on the Okavango Delta. • Experience Linyanti Wildlife Reserve on game drives, photography safaris and stargazing under a starlit canopy. • Cruise the mighty Zambezi River on a sunset boat ride, witness the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Vic - toria Falls and interact with locals on village visits in Zambia. • Finish in the iconic Okavango Delta, embarking on game drives, guided nature walks and mokoro boat safaris, navigating the tranquil waterways in complete silence.

For me, Botswana is the best safari destination on the planet. It's twice the size of France and is home to less than two million people, and half of the country is a floodplain that is teeming with wildlife - it's incredibly unspoiled. The Botswana government has done a superb job of funding conservation through luxury tourism, they're a guide for other countries to follow suit.
