The Safari Company team that plans your safari is resident in South Africa. We constantly travel to different destinations in southern and east Africa, visiting the various lodges and camps, meeting the owners, managers and staff of the different properties, sourcing the latest up-to-date information on transfers, activities, community projects and general information on the areas.

These personal experiences and expertise enable us to offer you the ultimate African safari, planning your visit around your personal needs to ensure that you get the most out of your holiday while on safari.

We have a passion for Africa and love to share it with like-minded travelers wanting to explore this fascinating continent! We at The Safari Co. have been in the tourism industry for many years. The Safari Company was officially formed in 2002 and have since become one of leaders in its field.

The Safari Co. is a reputable tour operator that specializes in Africa travel offering you informative advise and years of experience at no extra cost (the price you pay will be the same or more if you go direct to the properties or through a safari outfitter). When you travel with The Safari Co. you save on travel costs when you work direct with us. We negotiate excellent rates with the most reputable safari operators in Africa. These discounted rates and savings are passed on to our clients, so you get expert advise and professional assistance at a reduced cost!

Peace of mind while travelling is an important aspect of an enjoyable safari. The Safari Co. offers back up and support during your visit, as we are based in Africa (South Africa to be precise). We know the destination intimately and will be at your service during the full duration of your stay.

To ensure the highest level of service and quality at all times, we make use of properties (lodges, hotels and resorts), travel organisations and travel services that are part of SATSA (Southern African Tourism Services Association) when planning your travels in Africa. The Safari Company only deals with third party service providers that are registered members of a recognised travel and tourism authority. This ensures that you are offered the best services and you can travel with confidence knowing that the service providers you are booked with are professional and credible.

For your protection and peace of mind, we insist on comprehensive travel, medical, cancellation and baggage insurance for all our guests that will cover any airline, safari or hotel cancellations during your visit.

It is important to us that you travel with the peace of mind of knowing that your holiday will run smoothly and that all your needs are taken care of.

Our experience
We have been involved in the tourism industry for many years, specifically with marketing as well as the operational side. We have also travelled extensively across southern and east Africa as guides and tourists. Our passion for Africa and indepth knowledge of the region are evident in our planning of safaris. Our guiding experience in Africa has brought with it a wealth of knowledge and in-depth information on the different areas in Africa. We have a great love for this continent and enjoy planning the ideal safaris for our clients.

Our interests
Our interests range from birding to mountain biking as well as fly-fishing and a general interest in the outdoors. Other outdoor activities we enjoy are snorkelling, spear fishing and hiking.

We are also very involved in ongoing leadership training in different communities throughout Moçambique and other parts of Africa.

Our favourite spots in Africa
One of our favourite destinations in Africa is the Lower Zambezi Valley in Zambia. The wild, remoteness of this special place is a must for those adventurous travelers seeking the real Africa...!

Another favourite is the Okavango Delta in Botswana. The Garden Route in South Africa is an outstanding area for self drive visitors and for those looking for a bit of privacy and secluded beaches, Zanzibar (Mnemba to be precise) is the place where you will find the perfect spot to relax and unwind...

One of the most amazing ways of travelling in Africa is on a helicopter safari - this is the ultimate in travel! As much as we appreciate the finer details of life, we also thoroughly enjoy a camping expedition or overland safari in the African wilderness.

We look forward to assisitng you in planning your African safari.
