"To depart on safari is not only a physical act, it is also a gesture.  You leave behind the worries, the strains, the irritations of life among people under pressure and enter a world of creatures who are pressed into no moulds, but have only to be themselves; bonds loosen, anxiety fades, the mind closes against the world you left behind like a folding sea anemone.  Enjoyment of the moment, the true delight in living, in life as it is and not as others have made it.  All this returns.  Each breath you draw gives pleasure, you wake with a new sense of wonder at the pure light shining on golden grasses and the web of thorn, and the cooing of the dove. . . " - Elspeth Huxley, The Mottled Lizard

Vision Adventure Safaris uses the most experienced guides and wildlife experts who illuminate the mysteries of animal behavior and tribal culture and inspire awe about what is not yet known. We travel by air & land to make the remote accessible; we game drive in open-air vehicles to maximize viewing opportunities and a feeling of being at one with the environment; and we select our accommodation - luxury tented camps, bush homes and private ranches - for their style and intimacy, exceptional cuisine, diverse activities and commitment to conservation. These are locations far from the restrictions of game park rules and the checklist philosophy of mainstream safari outfitters. On our safaris you can hike, you can horseback ride, you can lounge in a river pool for hours with a martini and a good book, or you can just contemplate. What you can't do is sit in a traffic jam, line up for a buffet, or get bored; we don't allow it-it's our only rule.

why east africa?
"Africa is mystic; it is wild; it is a sweltering inferno; it is a photographer's paradise, an escapist's Utopia. It is what you will, and it withstands all interpretations. It is the last vestige of a dead world or the cradle of a shiny new one. To a lot of people, as to myself, it is just "home." It is all these things but one thing-i t is never dull.. ." -                                          Beryl Markham, West with the Night.
