Our Business is always Personal
Because your dream safari should be a reflection of your interests, passions, and budget, not someone else’s. With over 20 years of experience in planning unique Safari experiences, we understand the travel business is always personal.
We have Been there & Done that
Mention a lodge, hotel or destination and we have more than likely been there. Collectively, we have traveled on hundreds of trips and experienced camps and lodges from the low end right up to the ultra luxurious, we believe this is the only way to guarantee that all your needs are met.
We hold no Ownership in any lodge, camp or Safari company
This means we are completely unbiased and free to recommend any lodging in Africa for you. Rothschild Safaris will never try to sell you on a camp or lodge because we have a stake in it.
You prefer to Maximize your Travel Dollar
We provide expert advice on where to save and where to spend.
Family Travel
Imagine the thrill of your child seeing their first wild elephant, learning how to track animals from a Kalahari Bushman or experiencing the giant Galápagos tortoises. Travel is the world’s best education and nothing will broaden your child’s horizons like an African Safari, Galápagos cruise or a trip down the Amazon.

Beach Safaris
Do you dream of an unspoiled, undeveloped and unpopulated paradise? Where the beaches are a dazzling white, the ocean is warm and blue, and the diverse environment is pristine? Then you may enjoy a few nights on a post-bush beach safari at one of the many intimate resorts found on the exotic Indian Ocean islands.
About usHoneymoons & Weddings
Honeymoons and weddings in Africa or India are wildly romantic. Candlelit dinners on safari surrounded by the African bush, or watching the sun as it sets over the greatest monument to love on earth – the Taj Mahal. It’s all about creating intimate experiences in breathtaking locations with discreet but special treatment.

Great Migration
There is nothing else like it on earth. It is a spectacle of nature that is worthy of being named a natural wonder of the world. And our classic Migration Safaris do not have to be all about the millions of plains game either. Enjoy learning about the culture of the Maasai and the people who live in the Serengeti before you return home.
About usPhotographic Journeys
Stunning landscapes, rich cultural history, wildlife, fortresses, palaces, and temples all make for a photographer’s paradise. Elevate your photography to the next level with special photographic safaris. Travel in a small group with a professional photographer who knows the perfect lighting, exactly how a vehicle should be positioned and those special finishing techniques to get your own “National Geographic” shot.

Active Adventures
Step out of the vehicle and onto the trail. If being active and adventurous is your style of travel, consider trekking through rainforest to come face to face with an endangered mountain gorilla, heli-hike on a glacier in New Zealand, canoe around pods of hippos as you paddle down the mighty Zambezi River in Zimbabwe, or follow the lion tracks on a walking safari in Zambia. Whatever the adrenaline rush you choose, indulge in the luxury of your lodge or camp at the end of the day, watch the sunset while sipping a cocktail and dine on world-class cuisine.
About usSpecial Occasions & Celebrations
Graduations, birthdays, anniversaries, retirement. A time of new beginnings and new adventures. And what better way to celebrate these significant milestones than with travel. Whether you are traveling with a spouse or partner, a group of friends or a multi-generational family, highly personalized life-changing trips will guarantee memories that will last forever.

Luxury Train Travel
Experience the glamour of the bygone era of luxury train travel but with modern comfort and conveniences. Take in the stunning scenery of the Sacred Valley of the Incas as you roll towards Machu Picchu in Peru, travel like a maharaja while visiting the great temples and palaces of India, meander through landscapes that illustrate why South Africa is considered “a world in one country,” or ride Ecuador’s “railway in the sky” through the Avenue of the Volcanoes high in the Andes.
About usPrivate Luxury Journeys
For the ultimate luxury trip, private charters can fly you into camps and lodges where you may have exclusive use of the entire property. Personal butlers and chefs will cater to your every need and your private guides will customize your day’s activities around your preferences.

Luxury Cruises
Sometimes the best (and in certain cases only) mode of transportation into certain destinations is by boat. Sail through the Galápagos, disembarking on the numerous islands to get up close to the amazing wildlife that can be found nowhere else on earth. Cruise down the Nile visiting Egypt’s magnificent tombs and temples that line the river.
About usSolo Travel
You have wanderlust but your family and friends don’t. So, set out on a solo journey where you will never be alone, or lonely for that matter. You’ll meet new people at each camp and lodge and will be fully taken care of every step of the way by guides, drivers and staff. Your trip will be customized specifically for you with accommodations that are small and intimate so you won’t feel lost in a crowd, and you have the option of communal dining and shared vehicles. You’ll return not only with fabulous memories and photos but perhaps some new friends – who love travel as much as you do – as well.

About usWhat our travelers say
Amy Lundberg
Wow, wow, wow!! We are back in LA now, recovering from jet lag and still in shock and awe regarding our experience. From the moment we landed in South Africa to the moment we touched down in LA, our experience was seamless and amazing.
Betsy Robertson
We were thrilled with the trip. It was as good as or better than described at every turn. The prep, attention to detail, willingness to make changes and ensure we were ready and prepared was outstanding. Our Travel Designer was awesome!
Dawn Jacobs
Choosing a safari expert is never easy given the choice and lists upon lists of "top suppliers"... but we made the BEST choice for us... why? Because above all, Rothschild listened, really listened to what we wanted to experience.
George Kowalski
It was a well organized trip. It was easy to get around since we were guided through all of our itinerary. Everyone was pleasant and very helpful. This is an excellent way to travel. Rothschild Safari did very well and brought a fantastic African experience to us.
Jackie Smith
My trip was beyond AMAZING! I truly enjoyed every moment. The itinerary allowed me to experience a variety of different activities all of which I enjoyed! When I originally thought of going to Africa I was just thinking of safaris. This trip opened my eyes (and my family/friend's) to so much more Africa has to offer.
Jamie Scarlett
Trip was PERFECT!! Every single detail was planned out and the accommodations and people were wonderful. This trip exceeded all of our wildest expectations. Every place we stayed was just lovely and each each camp had a different vibe, which was really neat. Everyone we worked with was outstanding.
Joe Moravec
On behalf of the Moravecs and the Stones… thank you for arranging a trip of a lifetime. Every detail was accounted for and all the recommendations were perfect. It honestly could not have gone any better.
Kim Mather
Our Rothschild Safaris Travel Designers were extraordinary at crafting THE PERFECT safari for our family of eight. They listened (actually 'read' my email) to EXACTLY what we wanted, within the budget that we needed, and miraculously pulled off miracles in obtaining the properties that we wanted!
Lisa Anderson
Every aspect of my trip went according to plan and the plan Rothschild's help me to orchestrate was magnificent! I loved every lodge that I was blessed to be in! They were all very different yet all high end and very accommodating.
Mary & Rob Johannigman (and family)
It was the most exciting, scenic, inspiring trip we've ever taken. To say it was a trip of a lifetime doesn't begin to capture our experience. The Rothschild team did an outstanding job of helping us plan this trip.
