Take the trip of a lifetime, in style
Going on a safari is at the top of many people’s bucket list. But, deciding where to go and planning out the trip can be daunting—overwhelming, even. Where do you even start? That’s why, here at Peter’s Wildlife Safaris, my goal is to simplify the whole process.
From planning where to go on your adventure to ironing out all the critical details, you’re in good hands from start to finish. I’ve led dozens of safaris over the years, taking guests to places as beautiful and disparate as Kenya to see the Big Five, India to find the tigers, Alaska to get up close to the grizzly bears, and even the Himalayas in search of the elusive snow leopard.
It’s not news that many of our planet’s largest and most beautiful animals are under serious threat of extinction. And sadly, the problem isn’t going away. It’s my mission to help you take the trip of a lifetime, to bring you right up close to these amazing animals in their natural, wild habitat, so you can witness them for yourself.
Whichever experience you choose, know that it will be transformative. After the adventure, you won’t be the same.

"Peter's safari was an extraordinary experience, one I highly recommend. The wildlife was everything expected and more. Peter's attention to every detail was exceptional, as were the accommodations. He gave us a view into the Maasai and their culture. A truly unique experience. Thank you, Peter."

How it works
When you decide to go on a safari with me, we’ll set up a consultation, where we’ll determine your goals for the trip. From there, I’ll give you all the necessary information.
I can help with whatever you might need, from booking flights to helping you make sure you have all the details ironed out. My approach is highly customized, highly relational so you’ll know exactly what’s going to happen and can just relax and enjoy this amazing experience. We keep the number of guests down to six or seven because that creates the best experience for you.
Then, when you fly into your destination country, we pick you up at the airport. And throughout your safari experience, we handle everything else until we drop you back off at the airport at the end of the trip.
Your meals, drinks, accommodations, and transfers are all taken care of while we’re at the camps and in the bush. Throughout the experience, I’m with you to answer any questions you might have—from getting great photos of the wildlife to meeting whatever needs might arise. It’s truly a high-touch experience, very personal. You don’t get that with other safari companies.
And as far as what you’ll experience? You’re going to be immersed within the land, there with the animals, among the locals. You’ll experience the place authentically, but also luxuriously. It’s truly the best of both worlds. Your adventure will be wild… but also exceptionally comfortable.
"The trip was incredible!! Peter had everything planned, helped with all of the flights, the required visas, reservations at a 5-star hotel in Nairobi, and accommodations at the safari camp. The safari personnel were all about service and making the trip a bucket list experience..."

What to expect
I plan for everything, but an African safari takes place on what we call “African time.” You have to go on the trip with the expectation that a plane might get delayed or a tire on one of the vehicles might go flat.
Or, you might not see all the animals you want to. Plenty of inconveniences may arise.
But no matter what happens, you’ll be completely safe as you experience the trip of a lifetime.
You’ll see the humanity of the animals in their natural state.
And you’ll be changed forever because of it. I promise.
Available luxury safaris
There is nothing like going on safari. Getting up close and personal with our planet’s most gorgeous, majestic animals in their natural habitat is truly an experience of a lifetime. And if you’re going to go, you might as well do it in style!
These adventures are for anyone who has ever wanted to take the trip of a lifetime and maybe thought that dream was out of reach. My passion is to make that dream possible. By planning out all the details, partnering with only the highest quality camps, hotels, and guides, and putting a high priority on understanding your individual goals for the trip, I’m able to set the stage for a life-changing experience.
Also, because I keep the groups small—usually around six individuals in our small group trips—your experience is incredibly personalized. Whether you are a wildlife enthusiast, part-time shutterbug, professional photographer, or anyone in between, going on safari with me will be an experience you’ll never forget.
Check out the available safaris below. Each offers unique opportunities to engage with the local wildlife, people, and stunning natural environments. But no matter which you choose, I can promise you one thing: You will be transformed!

Kenya
Big Cat Safari

Date: TBA
Group Size: 6-12
Lions, cheetahs, and leopards—oh my! The Big Cat safari takes place during the “off migration” season after the wildebeest have migrated south, leaving all resident cats and other plains animals. Big cat (lion, leopard and cheetah) viewing at this time of year is superb.
Kenya
Annual Migration Safari

Ready for some spectacular wildlife? The Annual Migration safari takes you onsite to watch hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebra crossing the Mara river, with resident Nile crocodiles, on their trip from Tanzania into Kenya. There will be plenty of opportunities to see animals like cape buffalo, elephants, leopards, giraffes, lions, zebras, birds, cheetahs and more.
Kenya
Medwish Medical
Brigade

Date: TBA
Group Size: Limited to 20
Participating in a Medical Brigade is a wonderful way to give your time, talents, and compassion to those in need. The Brigade is a unique multifaceted trip that includes the humanitarian mission of a medical service, in addition to a traditional African safari and opportunities to learn about wildlife and community conservation.
Kenya
Family Philanthropic Adventure

Date: You Decide
Group Size: You Decide
Are you charitably inclined? Would you like to see firsthand the impact of your donation? Would you like to know exactly what your money is being used to support? Would you like to teach your children and grandchildren about giving? If this describes you, then one of our Socially Conscious Philanthropic Safaris might be right for you.
India
Wildlife and Culture of India

Date: TBA October 2021
Group Size: 6-8
Majestic, lithe, and incomparably beautiful—experience the photo adventure of a lifetime. India’s protected reserves are one of the few remaining places on the plant to experience tigers in their natural habitat. April through June is the best time for tiger sightings because the warm days bring the tigers to their watering holes.
Tanzania
Tanzania Tour

Date: Contact Peter
Group Size: 6-8
East Africa is where the concept of safari travel was born in the 1850s, and Tanzania is still one of the flagship destinations. Its reserves are famous for their abundant wildlife and home to Africa’s “Big 5” (lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, and rhino) and to the Great Migration for eight to nine months each year.
India
Snow Leopard Quest

Date: April 2021
Group Size: 4-6
Snow leopards are some of the most elusive big cats remaining in the world because they live in such remote areas of Central Asia. There are thought to be only between 3,500 and 7000 snow leopards left in the wild. This safari will take us to the remote places thought to have the highest density of snow leopards in the world.
Uganda
Mountain Gorillas

Date: Contact Peter
Group Size: TBD
Uganda is nicknamed the “Pearl of Africa” because of its incredible greenery, mountains, lakes, and greatest natural treasure of all – half of the world’s last remaining mountain gorilla population. Gorilla trekking in Uganda is surreal and unlike any other experience in Africa. Groups consist of no more than eight people because small numbers are easier to manage and do not overwhelm the gorillas.
United States
Alaskan Wilderness Experience
