We Don’t Just Love Africa, We Live Here

One of life’s most unforgettable adventures, an African safari is unlike any other since no two game drives are ever the same.

The diverse scenery, wildlife, and friendly locals of Africa, from the Serengeti’s vast plains to the Okavango Delta’s hidden canals, are what keep visitors coming back. Almost half of our customers are repeats or referrals.

Since 2018, we have made it a priority to visit each of the 1,000+ carefully selected safari partners we recommend to our clients. We spare no effort in researching and exploring every aspect of the places we suggest for you to visit, so that we can give you honest recommendations based on our own knowledge.

We take great satisfaction in being genuine specialists; between us, we spend well over a year’s worth of time on safari every year, so you can rest assured you’ll always have the experience of a lifetime. For the third year in a row, Condé Nast Traveler honored our team of specialists as Top Travel Specialists in their March 2023 issue. We are the only organization to have so many professionals recognized, as 11 of our own were ranked among Africa’s best.

Our whole staff of safari professionals, from Kampala – Arusha – Nairobi – Cape Town, was raised in Africa. We’ve spent our whole lives on game reserves, either as guides or employees, or as lodge owners and managers, so we know what it takes to make a safari in Africa truly unforgettable. we are The Bespoke African Safari Co.

The Bespoke African Safari Co’s Company Values

At the year’s conclusion, we set out on a mission to examine the foundations upon which The Bespoke African Safari Co. is built. We knew this was an important undertaking since it would help us realize our goal, establish our corporate culture, and reveal the kind of business we are.

We had company-wide seminars and discussions to come up with recurring themes, and from those we were able to distill our six guiding principles. These values now inform all aspect of our business, from hiring to operations, and ultimately shape how we interact with one another, our customers, and our partners.
