African Safari: Kenya & Tanzania
July 20 - August 3, 2027 · 15 Days · Escorted Small-Group Travel
Picture this: an elephant crossing the golden plains with snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro behind it. Lions at rest in the shade. The endless Serengeti stretching to the horizon. This is the Africa you've dreamed about — and in the summer of 2027, you can experience it in the company of fellow travelers from right here in south-central Wisconsin.
Over 15 unforgettable days, you'll journey from Nairobi to the wildlife-rich reserves of Kenya and Tanzania — Amboseli, the Ngorongoro Crater, the Serengeti, and Tarangire — on seven game drives in search of Africa's legendary "Big Five." Along the way you'll cradle orphaned elephants at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, step into the world of Out of Africa at Karen Blixen's farmhouse, and share meaningful moments with local communities and artisans. With just 14 travelers on average (18 at most), this is a personal adventure, not a crowded tour bus.
Why travel with Shelley: When you book with Baraboo Tours, you're not a confirmation number — you're a neighbor. Shelley Mordini handles every detail so you don't have to: flights, hotels, meals, and day-to-day logistics are all taken care of. Your journey begins close to home with round-trip air right out of Dane County Regional Airport in Madison — no long drive to Chicago, no figuring it out alone. And from the moment you have a question until the day you're home sharing photos, Shelley is your personal, local point of contact every step of the way.
Want to make it even bigger? Ask about the optional 4-night Masai Mara safari extension before the tour, and the 4-night Zanzibar beach extension after.
