Every great safari begins with a single conversation. Whenever you’re ready, we’re here.

See Africa the way we see it, through the eyes of people who never stopped looking.

We only work in wild places we’re committed to protecting. Here’s what that looks like in practice.

Honest answers to the questions worth asking before you go.

In 2021, we relocated from Johannesburg to Cape Town—a city our guests already loved, and one we wanted to understand from the inside. Six months in, our team has grown to three, hiked Table Mountain, surfed Muizenburg, and explored Franschhoek. The shift is strategic: Cape Town runs on tourism, food, wine, and authentic experiences. That's exactly what we build safaris around. Our goal is to know this city deeply enough to show you what makes it remarkable—both when you visit us here and when we plan your escape across Africa.

Escape is now in the Cape.

Escape Safari Co. has been based in Johannesburg since its inception in 2018. During the early stages of the pandemic, we decided that it was time to take a leap of faith and make the move to one of Africa’s most iconic cities, Cape Town. It was a fairly easy decision for us, as it is a favourite destination for Escape Safari Co. guests and just a magnificent city to live in, in general. As each day passes, we are exploring more and learning more about what this beautiful city has to offer. We have all become more familiar with the city and we are definitely growing fonder of her each day.

The team have completely taken to what Cape Town has to offer and have spent the better half of 2021 exploring, hiking, surfing and dining their way around the mother city. Luckily for us, team bonding has taken on a new shape and sometimes meetings in Muizenburg after a surf or in Franschhoek after a hike definitely has us feeling extremely grateful. We are so excited about this chapter for Escape Safari Co. and we cannot wait to welcome guests back into South Africa and show them around our new home.

Cape Town, the Mother City as she is affectionately known, is not only our home but it is a place where we can be creative, collaborative and current. It is a city that is driven by tourism, by food, wine and experiences and our hope and goal over the months and years ahead, is to gain a deep understanding of her and her people, so that when you visit us in our home town, we can show you what she is all about!
