USRA Travels

East & Southern Africa

The light changes. So should the itinerary.

Private camps, unhurried days, and local know-how — USRA Travels began as one family's own trips through Magoroto Forest, Mikumi National Park, and the Maasai Boma, and we still guide every itinerary ourselves.

Journeys we would take ourselves

All itineraries

From the field

Notes from Magoroto Forest, Mikumi National Park, and the Maasai Boma — the areas we know best, because we went there first as a family.

Magoroto's crater lake

Why we still bring every guest back to the same still water we found on our first family trip above the Tanga coast.

Mikumi, up close

Years of returning to the same floodplain taught us where the elephant herds move at dawn — and when to hold still.

Hosted, not toured

We work with the same Maasai family at every boma visit — the same welcome we were given on our own first afternoon there.
