Couples Safari Holidays

Everyone remembers their first safari. Hearing the trumpeting of an elephant echo across the savanna, or the magical experience of glimpsing a mother leopard playing with her newborn cub. Gazing across a clear night sky full of stars as you regale the whole lodge with your wildlife sightings from the day. As a couple, these are the moments you’ll never forget.

Or, perhaps it’s not a traditional couples safari you’re after. Maybe you’ve dreamt of searching for sloths in the Costa Rican rainforest or snorkelling with turtles in the otherworldly Galápagos Islands. Whatever kind of wildlife adventure you seek as a couple, we’ll make it happen, all under the passionate and knowledgeable guidance of the very best rangers and wildlife guides in the world.

At Scott Dunn, our travel experts have all the insider knowledge on the top wildlife destinations, as well as genuine and meaningful connections with locals, allowing us to craft a bespoke experience that’s just for you. So what are you waiting for? It’s time to get back to nature and start planning your perfect couples safari holiday or animal experience...
