Our Awards

With over 25 years of safari expertise, we’re proud to be recognised among Africa’s leading travel specialists. While awards are never our goal, we’re genuinely honoured when our passion, purpose, and people are acknowledged.

From Condé Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure to the World Travel Awards, and thousands of five-star reviews from our travellers, each accolade reflects something deeper: the care we pour into every unforgettable safari, the insight our Africa Safari Experts offer, and the trust you place in us.

These honours are not just industry praise; they speak to the heart of what we do. They remind us why we exist: to craft extraordinary journeys that leave a lasting impact on you, and a positive footprint across Africa.

We’re thankful for the opportunity to do what we love – and even more grateful to do it in a way that protects Africa’s wild places and uplifts the communities we hold dear.
