This enriching journey through East Africa is designed for Wildlife Photography and Anthropology enthusiasts seeking a spiritually-significant encounter with vast, unexplored landscapes and real interactions with the indigenous cultures who are its true wilderness custodians. Here is the Real Africa.
The Magic Lantern is an image projector using pictures on sheets of glass. Since some sheets contain moving parts, it is considered the first example of projected animation.
The thaumatrope housed a rotating mechanism with a different
picture on each side.
When rotated, you saw a combined picture (known as persistence
of vision).
The phenakitoscope featured spinning disks reflected in
mirrors that
made it seem like the pictures were moving.
The zoetrope was a hollow drum that housed images on long interchangeable
strips that spin and made the images appear to move.
The flip-book, also known as the kineograph, reached a wide
audience and is credited
with inspiring early animators more than the machines
developed in this era.
The praxinoscope expanded on the zoetrope, using multiple
wheels to rotate images.
It is considered to have shown the first prototypes of
the animated cartoon.

We offer a privately hosted luxury safari with a Specialist professional guide and custom-designed 4x4 cruiser on safari while in our care in East Africa. The Guided Safaris® camps are luxurious and your safari is led by Africa’s most respected team of highly-rated guides to personally host your game drives for the best suited plans to your interests, whether photography, specialized species or geological interest. None of our safaris are operated as old-fashioned ‘pre-packaged group travel’ with chaperones; Guided Safaris® helps custom design each trip individually for your chosen dates of travel.
So, just how exclusive will your journey be? Far from the crowds, only millions of animals around you. We’re right along the path of the Great Migration - and the Mara River crossings! Throughout your journey, you’ll witness the most iconic Africa, in the most private and special settings. And you’ll learn its tales told by the Maasai tribespeople you’ll meet with us on safari.
The special places you’ll visit with Guided Safaris® are some of the world’s most important biodiversity hotspots reserved for the enjoyment of just a handful of guests to help limit the impact on these fragile savannah and rainforest environments. Through eco-luxury safaris we have partnered with the governments and people of East Africa to bring an incredibly exclusive safari experience to our valued patrons: Your visit helps directly support these conservation programs for safeguarding free-roaming habitat for Big Cats and African Mountain Gorillas.
This Signature Guided Safaris® Rwanda journey is rooted foremost in a World-Class conservation model that protects the Gorillas in their fragile rainforest habitat.

With the most incredible views of the Volcanoes park right from your suite's balcony, the experience is almost a fairytale-setting with tropical birds, bamboo forests and mountain wilderness all around you.

While the Serengeti is an endless flat space, the true paradise for abundant wildlife is Kenya's Masai Mara. No other place in all of Africa gives you such magnificently diverse sightings of wildlife in a single morning's game drive.

However, the true secret to this Guided Safaris® journey is escaping the masses of crowds and finding a magical space all to yourself. Let's begin our adventure...
