We often get the question what we actually do as a “safari company.”
What we do is create journeys in Eastern and Southern Africa. Journeys that follow the rhythm of nature. We plan them so that the moments you dream about actually happen. The right park at the right time. The migration where it should be. A beach that is safe to swim from
There is something magical about waking up in the bush. It isn’t the alarm clock that stirs you, but the distant call of a lion, or the soft knock at your tent flap as fresh coffee is delivered with a quiet “good morning.” The air is cool, almost crisp, and for a fleeting moment you feel you are the only soul awake in the wilderness.
Imagine your child’s eyes wide, innocent yet sharpened, gazing across the golden savannah as a herd of elephants drifts into view. That’s not just a safari, that’s the purest education in wonder.
But before you pack the binoculars and storybooks, let’s answer some important questions.
‘By standing out in a crowd is to be away from it’
In today’s world of mass tourism and oversaturated destinations, travel is often reduced to a checklist of popular spots packed with crowds, lines, and fleeting moments sung to the tune of social media trends. At Safari-Safari, we choose a different path. Our approach to travel and exploration is rooted not just in discovery, but in respect, respect for the people we meet, the places we visit, and the ecosystems we rely on.
In recent years, we’ve noticed a beautiful shift in travel requests. It’s no longer just couples seeking romance under African skies or parents introducing their children to the magic of the wild. Increasingly, we see entire families , grandparents, parents, and grandchildren travelling together to mark a special moment in time.
Recently, we received a last-minute booking inquiry from a single womman who dreams of witnessing the Great Migration in Northern Tanzania. A bold move, travelling solo to see one of nature’s greatest spectacles.
I reached out to a friend who runs a fabulous camp in the north and asked, as I always do, “What’s the single supplement rate?” His answer was glorious. “None. We do not discriminate against solo travellers.” I was stunned, to be quite frank.
Lately, we’ve noticed the phrase “slow safari” turning up more often. It’s in lodge brochures, whispered in travel circles, dropped into industry conversations. And frankly, it sounds like music to my ears.
Because truthfully, it’s what we’ve been doing all along.
This is a question I hear often. Many parents love the idea of safari, yet worry it may be too intense, too long, or too demanding for young children.
In reality, a well-designed safari can be one of the most grounding and enriching experiences a family can share.
