What Kind of Safari Are You Planning?

Every safari is different. Tell us which style resonates and we’ll build from there.

Classic

My First Safari

Kenya and Tanzania are the ultimate first-timer destinations — the Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Amboseli deliver wildlife in extraordinary density. We ease you into safari life at the right lodges, at the right pace.

Exclusive

Botswana Fly-In Safari

Botswana runs some of the world’s most exclusive, low-volume safari camps. Fly between the Okavango Delta, Linyanti, Chobe, and the Central Kalahari — each a radically different ecosystem. No roads. No crowds. Just wildlife and silence.

Okavango Delta · Chobe · Linyanti · Kalahari

Combo

Victoria Falls + Safari

Pair the sheer spectacle of Victoria Falls with safari in Zambia’s South Luangwa or Zimbabwe’s Hwange. One of the most satisfying itinerary combinations in Africa — wildlife, wilderness, and one of the world’s great natural wonders.

Zambia · Zimbabwe · Botswana option

Primate

Gorilla Trekking

Spending an hour face-to-face with a mountain gorilla family is one of the most profound wildlife encounters on the planet. Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park and Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest require advance permit booking — we secure yours.

Rwanda · Uganda · Congo border option

Seasonal

The Great Migration

1.5 million wildebeest moving between the Serengeti and the Masai Mara is the greatest wildlife show on earth — but timing and camp placement are everything. We know exactly where to be, when to be there, and which camps put you at the river crossings.

Why Safari With OTA?

Custom Logistics

Africa’s logistics are genuinely complex — internal flights, permit windows, seasonal road access, multi-country border crossings. We’ve navigated every combination and handle it all on your behalf, so you arrive at each camp relaxed and on time.

Lodge Curation

We’ve personally inspected the lodges we recommend. We know which camps put you closest to the wildlife corridor, which have the best guiding teams, and which deliver on their brochure promise. You won’t end up somewhere disappointing.

Private or Small-Group

We can arrange fully private vehicle and guide at every camp, or join small-group shared game drives for a more social experience. For gorilla permits and fly-in camps with strict group caps, we book early to guarantee your spot.

From Our Safari Travelers

★★★★★

“We worked with Linda King of Outdoor Travel Adventures on a four-country group safari trip to Africa. Linda was exceptional to work with (she is very detail oriented, is great on follow up/thru, and has deep knowledge and domain experience about how to curate an enjoyable and stress-free vacation) and the trip far exceeded our lofty expectations. In fact, it went so well that we are working with Linda and Outdoor Travel Adventures again on an upcoming trip. I would give six stars if I could!”

★★★★★

“If you were ever even thinking about a trip to Africa, DO IT NOW. Linda King planned the trip of a lifetime for our group of very discerning individuals. Her choice/recommendations of countries, camps, excursions, etc… blew all of our minds. Almost every day someone would say “it can’t get any better than this,” and yet somehow it always did. Thank you, Linda, for planning, organizing and supporting the trip of a lifetime!”
