Born and raised in South Africa — authentic safari knowledge you can trust

Growing up in South Africa, I was surrounded by Africa’s iconic wildlife and breathtaking landscapes from the very beginning. My passion for sharing the wildlife, private reserves, and safari destinations of Southern Africa is woven into every journey I design.

Safari Design specializes in:

  • South Africa safaris

  • Private Reserves across South Africa, including the Sabi Sands, the Greater Kruger, Madikwe, and other premier wildlife regions nationwide

  • Luxury safari lodges

  • Big Five encounters

  • Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda itineraries

A personalized safari planning experience

Your safari begins long before you arrive in Africa. It starts with a conversation — face‑to‑face or via video — where we explore your travel style, expectations, and dream wildlife experiences.

Your itinerary and investment are never reduced to a simple email. Every safari plan is thoughtfully presented, discussed, and refined, allowing space for questions, ideas, and exciting possibilities. This is custom safari planning, designed to be as meaningful as the journey itself.

Travel with confidence — guided by a South Africa safari specialist

When you depart for Africa, you do so with complete confidence — supported by a seasoned professional who has lived in South Africa and traveled through eight African countries.

My greatest wish is for you to know the true heart of the place of my birth. This isn’t just a vacation. It’s a life‑changing African safari experience that will stay with you forever.

Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika.
