Born in Africa.
Driven by everything it taught us.

WHY ESCAPE SAFARI

At Escape Safari Co., we are committed to offering our guests transformative experiences that also contribute to the restoration and regeneration of the world we live in. Our travel itineraries align with global conservation goals, and we passionately encourage responsible travel practices that have a positive impact.

Here are eight compelling reasons to choose Escape Safari Co. for your African adventure:

AFRICA IS OUR HOME

We are proudly born and bred on the continent of Africa. We have an insight and understanding into the safari industry that many others don’t have. Escape’s founders have worked and guided across the African continent and our travel specialists come with first-hand experience from having worked at lodges, in the industry and having travelled the continent and abroad.

POWER OF RELATIONSHIPS

We love people, and building genuine relationships with like-minded people. One of the best things about our work is that we get to build life-long relationships with our guests. We’re not just here to sell you a safari and disappear. We value the importance of every relationship.

BESPOKE JOURNEYS

Most travel companies sell “packages” and fixed experiences, but we’re different. While our website is filled with ideas and inspiration, these are only frameworks and suggestions for what is possible. It exists to provide the inspiration but they’re not the fireworks themselves. We build all our trips from the ground up – just like a tailor who fits your suit and a private chef who prepares your meals – all the while being done with empathy, care and attention to detail. No request is ever too much.

SAFARI SPECIALISTS

We are experts because we are travellers, explorers, adventurers, and guides, with over three decades of experience in the industry. Over the years, we have brought together a team of impassioned destination obsessives and an unbeatable network of local partners. Our team works closely with you when planning your trip, from the smallest detail to the most sublime and remarkable of crescendos. We have organised trips for our dedicated community of like-minded people who want to see and experience the world differently.

WE GIVE YOU YOUR TIME BACK

Planning a safari of this calibre takes time, expertise and access to the right camps, the right operators, the right seasonal knowledge. We handle all of it on your behalf, managing every detail from logistics and transfers to supplier communication and contingency planning. You bring the curiosity. We'll take care of everything else.

POWER OF CURIOSITY

Inspiration and curiosity are part of who we are and why Escape Safari Co. came to be. In the initial phases of the planning, your ideas are what lead us and our expertise is what brings these ideas to life. As a team of travellers, travel planners, expedition leaders and specialist guides, we have spent our lives getting to know Africa. We believe that it’s our responsibility to share our curiosity and our intimate knowledge with you, and to do this in ways that change the way you experience travel and Africa.

CERTAINTY IN AN UNCERTAIN WORLD

Modern travel can often be complex. We are here to guide you through any potential challenges related to safari travel, including logistics, restrictions, safety protocols, and vaccinations. We draw on our experience and relationships with suppliers to ensure that your escape is seamless and attend to all of the unseen detail before you begin your trip, giving you and your family the peace of mind to merely enjoy yourselves, while we handle the detail.

CONSERVATION IS KEY

Conservation isn’t just a policy for us, but an integral part of Escape Safari Co.’s operations. We work only with lodges and operators who take their environmental and community responsibilities seriously, who keep their ecological footprint to a bare minimum, and who contribute meaningfully to the wild places they operate within. As we grow, we continuously implement measures to offset our impact, supporting meaningful projects across Africa such as the Tracker Academny and the Wild Tomorrow Fund.
