ABOUT US
Started by Chania, mum to Billy and Zia, and avid traveller, The SAFARI Company is all about tailoring your African experience to suit your family.
We have put in the miles to find some of Africa’s best off-the-beaten-track destinations, and we pride ourselves on an intimate knowledge of how each safari in our portfolio matches the needs of different families. We don’t just book holidays; we craft an adventure that will give you a lifetime of memories.
Sustainable is our middle name, and when we visit camps and lodges, we take the time to understand what they do to support both the environment and the community. We believe in being a business for good, and ensuring your safari in Africa has a positive impact.
Whether it’s wanting to see your family gasp with joy at the sight of a stotting gazelle, or take part in a jumping contest with the local Maasai; perhaps it’s something as simple as staying on a bush farm where your kids can collect eggs in the morning, or getting a gaggle of teenagers more interested in the gait of a camel than the latest post on social media, we’ve got you covered.

I want to thank everyone at The Safari Company for giving us an unforgettable experience and adventure!!! All the locations we went to, exceeded our expectations and we found only wonderful people!!! I want to thank you for the surprises related to Alexandra's birthday :). All our friends asked us about you, so I hope you will have more Romanian customers in the future.
Thousands of thanks.

Thank you so much for organizing a great trip for me and my parents. Everyone was so nice and accommodating and all the places we stayed at were fantastic. The pick up service at the airport for my parents was terrific. That really eased everything (including for my peace of mind). And Andrew was great. Elephant Camp was nice and the food was terrific! We enjoyed every meal we had there. Offbeat Ndoto was very nice and the service was excellent. We saw a lot of animals close up on the game drives, which was awesome. Mnarani House was just perfect. The service was terrific as was the house.
My parents had a terrific time and I really appreciate that you helped us put together a trip that was truly amazing. They’ve already raved to many friends and family, who are asking me for recommendations, so I’ll be sure to put them in touch with youFrom a client travelling with her parents in September 2022
