7th - 15th Oct 2013 An intimate Masai Mara safari following the lives of Big Cats and other wildlife with a world-class naturalist and staying in a luxury mobile tented camp.Our depth and breadth of knowledge of wildlife locations and experience in arranging exceptional bespoke safaris is acknowledged by our long-standing partnerships with BBC Wildlife and the Born Free Foundation, which span two decades.
Our safaris are extraordinarily rewarding wildlife experiences. They offer rare windows of opportunities to travel in search of endangered species in the wild with world-class naturalists and wildlife photographers including Simon King, Chris Packham and Stephen Mills. They are skilled in tracking species and working with park authorities and local guides, providing you with the very best chances of seeing tigers, polar bears, mountain gorillas etc and getting frame-filling photographs, witnessing moments of remarkable animal behaviour as well as enjoying all creatures great and small.
We are trusted for our excellence, the personal service and value for money we provide. Everything is included on our safaris and we do not cut corners. An accompanying safari director takes care of all the arrangements and logistics, freeing the guest naturalist to focus on finding really special wildlife experiences to share with you.You usually have exclusive use of the best and most comfortable lodges and camps and private 4-WD safari vehicles and, when appropriate, we charter our own small planes to maximise the amount of time spent in the bush
We are continually researching new locations, camps and lodges and re-visiting old ones to ensure that our product knowledge is up-to-date and accurate, so that we can offer you new experiences and the best chances of seeing species. Visits to local conservation and research projects can greatly enhance your wildlife experience.
To see endangered species in the wild involves travelling to distant lands.However remote the destination or challenging the environment, you can relax knowing that everything will be organised for you, that you will be well cared for and that there is full professional back-up support, with a team on the ground and back at our head office.
Nothing is forever except extinction... so we urge you to go now and see tigers, polar bears, mountain gorillas etc in their natural habitat before it is too late.

"I have had the good fortune to work with Liz Drake at Spencer Scott Travel taking small groups on safari to East Africa and India. All aspects of the journey are handled in a most personal, thorough and sensitive way, and all the arrangements are organised with admirable attention to detail. I have always boarded the plane from London knowing we were all going to have the holiday of a lifetime."
