Mobile safaris are just as much about the journey as the destination. You will move with your own private camp through the African wilderness, accompanied by an incredible team of guides, chefs and porters, over several days. This enables you to explore an area properly without having a negative impact on the pristine landscapes.
For something wild and raw, a mobile safari expedition is second to none. It is a wonderfully authentic experience that will take you back to the pioneering ‘Golden Age’ of safari. However, this is not to say that it is a back-to-basics camping. The best mobile safari camps are kitted out with comfortable beds, a well-stocked bar and sometimes a small library – all conjured up from a few vehicles. To have this level of service, while also being able to hear a hyena laugh through your tent wall, is truly special.
An obvious advantage of this type of safari is that the location of your camp is selected depending on wildlife movement and activity. One of our favourites is the Nomad Expeditionary, which travels around northern Tanzania in pursuit of seasonal game movements. On a mobile safari, you will have access to some of the more remote corners of reserves, often where permanent structures are not permitted, enabling you to feel as if you are the last people on the planet.

Take a pair of binoculars for every person on your mobile safari – or check if the camp has one – so you don’t have to share. But don’t forget to put them down sometimes to live in the moment and soak in this extraordinary experience.
What Our Clients Say
When we first met our guide, Prabal, I was a bit worried he was a Gurkha from Darjeeling (rather than a Ladakhi), but he could not have been a better guide – I think he's one of the best we have had anywhere in the world. He rearranged the trek without missing a beat, was always cheerful and really knew his stuff. He was a pleasure to be with.
I just wanted to say how well I have been looked after by cazenove+loyd over the past 12 to 15 months. My wife and I have had the most amazing honeymoon and it really was thought about and cared about to the tiniest detail.
Fantastic experience with cazenove+loyd. Went above and beyond to ensure our first safari (for our delayed honeymoon) was incredible from start to finish. I cannot recommend them more and will certainly be using them again for future trips.
