The African Wilderness

Africa’s protected areas represent the final frontiers of untamed nature on Earth. At Clayton Safaris, we provide exclusive access to these wild sanctuaries, taking you deep into the ecosystems where the drama of survival unfolds daily.

There is an important difference in how these lands are managed. National Parks, like the famous Serengeti or Amboseli, are strictly protected by governments (such as the Kenya Wildlife Service or Tanzania National Parks Authority). Because they protect so many animals, they have strict rules, like staying on marked roads and returning to camp before sunset.

Private Conservancies and Reserves, on the other hand, are run in partnership with local communities. Because they are private, they offer a highly exclusive luxury experience. Here, you can drive off-road to get closer to the animals, go on thrilling night drives, and take guided walking safaris—things you cannot do inside the main national parks.
