Yvette Taylor

I expertly craft Luxury African safaris and tailor-made safari journeys across East and Southern Africa, helping travelers experience some of the most extraordinary wildlife destinations on earth.

From the Great Migration in the Serengeti and Maasai Mara to gorilla trekking in Rwanda and Uganda, I help design unforgettable safari itineraries that combine wildlife, culture, and luxury. As an African safari travel specialist, I guide my clients through every step of planning an African safari—from choosing the best destinations and time of year to travel, to selecting the right luxury safari lodges, private game reserves, and expert-guided wildlife experiences.

African safaris are not one-size-fits-all. The best safari locations, seasons, and wildlife viewing opportunities vary greatly depending on what animals you want to see, and I help travelers plan the perfect itinerary based on their interests. 

I design custom safaris throughout East Africa and Southern Africa, including:

• Tanzania – Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire

• Kenya – Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Samburu

• South Africa – Kruger National Park and private game reserves like Sabi Sands

• Botswana – Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park

• Zimbabwe & Zambia – Victoria Falls safari extensions

• Rwanda & Uganda – mountain gorilla trekking experiences

• Namibia – desert wildlife and unique safari landscapes

Many of my clients combine multiple destinations, such as Serengeti + Zanzibar, Kruger + Cape Town, or a Kenya safari followed by Victoria Falls.

When to go on an African Safari?

Choosing the best time of year for an African safari is essential for wildlife viewing. I help travelers understand seasonal highlights such as:

• The Great Migration in the Serengeti and Maasai Mara where millions of wildebeest and zebra cross the plains

• River crossings in northern Serengeti and Kenya’s Maasai Mara

• Dry season wildlife viewing in Botswana and Kruger National Park when animals gather around water sources

• Best months for gorilla trekking in Rwanda and Uganda

• Elephant migration and large herds in Chobe National Park• Optimal seasons for seeing the Big Five — lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffalo.

Bucket-List African Safari Experiences- A luxury African safari offers far more than game drives. I help my clients plan extraordinary experiences such as:

• Hot air balloon safaris over the Serengeti at sunrise

• Tracking the Big Five on expert-led game drives

• Gorilla trekking in the forests of Rwanda or Uganda

• Walking safaris with professional guides

• Luxury tented camps and five-star safari lodges

• Private conservancies and exclusive wildlife reserves

• Photographic safaris for wildlife enthusiasts.

Seeing elephants roaming the savannah, rhinos grazing on the plains, lions resting in the shade, and giraffes silhouetted against African sunsets is a life-changing experience.

Luxury Safari Lodges & Camps-

One of the most important parts of planning an African safari is choosing the right accommodations. I help travelers select the best luxury safari lodges and boutique camps based on location, wildlife access, and level of luxury.

Options range from:

• Luxury tented camps in the Serengeti

• Private safari lodges in South Africa’s Sabi Sands

• Eco-luxury camps in the Okavango Delta

• Boutique wildlife lodges overlooking watering holes. Many offer private plunge pools, gourmet cuisine, spa treatments, and expert naturalist guides.

Beyond Safari: Cape Town, Wine Country & Victoria Falls

Many African safari itineraries include iconic destinations beyond the game parks. I help travelers combine their safari with:

• Cape Town, South Africa — Table Mountain, Cape Peninsula, penguins at Boulders Beach

• The Cape Winelands — Stellenbosch and Franschhoek wine tasting experiences

• Victoria Falls — one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World

• Zanzibar — idyllic beaches after a Serengeti safari.
