Reasons to Choose a Private Conservancy Over a National Park

Admin.aat June 17, 2025Uncategorized

When most people think of safari, they picture the sprawling savannas of national parks like the Serengeti or the Masai Mara. And while these are incredible places, seasoned travelers know that private conservancies offer something more—something deeper. Away from the crowds, you’ll find a level of intimacy with nature that’s hard to replicate. Game drives feel personal, and sightings are often uninterrupted by other vehicles. In a conservancy, guides can take you off-road to track lions or follow elephants across open plains—something not permitted in national parks. You’ll also experience night drives, walking safaris, horseback riding, or even camel trekking, all while supporting conservation efforts directly. These protected lands are often co-managed with local communities, so your visit helps fund education, wildlife protection, and sustainable livelihoods. And when the day is done, you retreat to beautifully designed eco-lodges where every detail feels considered. A safari in a private conservancy doesn’t just show you Africa—it connects you to it.
