Your Gateway to Africa & Beyond
Hand-crafted safaris and holiday escapes across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, South Africa, Dubai & Seychelles — planned by people who've actually been there.
Why Travel With Mara Gates
Fully registered tour operator with certified guides and vetted partners across every destination we sell.
Direct relationships with camps, hotels and airlines mean fewer middlemen and fair, transparent pricing.
No two travelers are the same, so no two itineraries are either. We build around your pace and budget.
Our guides are born and raised in the regions they lead — the difference between seeing a place and understanding it.
Visas, transfers, permits and flights — coordinated for you so the only thing you plan is what to pack.
A real person on call before, during and after your trip — because plans change and questions come up.

Travelers' Words
“Every detail was handled before we even thought to ask. The Mara crossing was the trip of a lifetime.”
“Our guide in Uganda knew the gorilla families by name. That level of care ran through the whole trip.”
“From visa paperwork to airport pickup in Dubai, nothing was left to chance. Booking again next year.”
Tell us your dates and dream, and we'll build the itinerary around it.
