Taking the Wildlings on Safari

An Africa Born mobile camp is the ideal wilderness adventure for kids. Every day in the bush sparks an adventure. Stage your very own Maasai Olympics, take on the camp crew in a game of volleyball, build campfires and toast marshmallows, find ‘the little five’ or play Poo Dunnit: the ultimate (stinky) way to track wildlife.

Rooting ForRangers

ForRangers is a cause close to our hearts. Not only do they support thousands of wildlife rangers, who risk their lives every day protecting Africa's most endangered species, but they do so by organising truly epic expeditions and adventures.

Thinking of a last minute safari?

With wildlife flourishing in many parts of Southern and East Africa and far fewer tourists on the circuit, this is the year to make the most of our reduced 2020 rates and last-minute availability at some of our favourite properties.

Africa Born – CONNECT

Safari is about disconnecting to reconnect. Exploring Africa brings us back to our roots - There is no better reason to put distractions away and CONNECT to the limitless abundance of nature, wildlife and culture.
