Founder Secret Africa Safaris
At Secret Africa Safaris, We create bespoke luxury African safaris that fully immerse you in the wild allure of Africa. From the breathtaking savannas alive with wildlife to tranquil Indian Ocean retreats featuring turquoise waters and pristine white sandy beaches, each adventure we craft is meticulously designed to forge unforgettable memories. Inspired by a profound passion for Africa’s untamed beauty, our safaris provide an opportunity to immerse yourself in nature, witness magnificent wildlife in their natural surroundings, and feel the vibrant pulse of Africa’s wilderness, where each moment is filled with the potential for adventure.
My journey started in the vibrant heart of the African bush, where I was raised in the enchanting beauty of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve at Londolozi and later at Thornybush Game Reserve. My love for the wild has led me on a journey of exploration over many years — tracking leopards in Kruger National Park and uncovering the vibrant marine life along Africa’s stunning coastlines. The bush has an incredible ability to awaken your senses, ignite your spirit with wonder, and forge a lasting connection to Africa that remains with you for a lifetime.
Experience the excitement of witnessing a lion pride at dawn, the tranquilly of an elephant herd wading through the Okavango Delta, and the breathtaking beauty of an African sunset illuminating the horizon. Join me in a journey to a realm where nature shines brightly. Allow me and the team at Secret Africa to take you on a journey to the soul of Africa, where remarkable experiences and stunning memories are ready to be discovered.
“The only man I envy is the man who has not yet been to Africa – for he has so much to look forward to.”

Explore Africa On Safari
There are so many amazing countries and destinations to explore on a Safari in Africa. Dive a bit deeper into some of our most requested locations including South Africa, Tanzania, Kenya, Namibia, Botswana, Mauritius, Rwanda, Congo, Zambia, Zimbabwe & The Seychelles.
Tanzania African Safaris
Tanzania is one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations, renowned for the Great Migration in the Serengeti. Each year, thousands of wildebeest and antelope journey between the Serengeti and the Maasai Mara, creating a breathtaking spectacle, especially during the dramatic Mara River crossings. The Serengeti, often called the safari capital of the world, boasts vast open plains teeming with wildlife, including the Big Five. Nearby, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area offers a unique experience within a lush volcanic caldera, home to abundant wildlife and stunning landscapes. From the vast wilderness of Ruaha National Park to the immense Selous Game Reserve and the remarkable Tarangire National Park, Tanzania’s national parks and reserves provide unmatched safari experiences.
Tanzania also offers the perfect complement to a safari with its idyllic beach destination, Zanzibar. This tropical paradise along the Indian Ocean is rich in cultural heritage, with attractions like the historic Stone Town and the pristine islands nearby. Visitors can enjoy ocean safaris, swim with dolphins, snorkel in crystal-clear waters, or take a traditional dhow trip. Whether you’re exploring Tanzania’s incredible wildlife or unwinding on its pristine beaches, Secret Africa ensures your journey is seamless, unforgettable, and tailored to your dream safari and beach adventure.
Embark on an adventure that combines the raw energy of Africa’s landscapes with the tranquility of the Indian Ocean. Whether you’re a first-time traveler or a seasoned safari enthusiast, Tanzania offers a truly extraordinary experience that captures the essence of Africa’s untamed beauty.
South African Adventures
South Africa is a remarkable destination, offering a blend of natural beauty, vibrant culture, and unforgettable adventures. Start your journey in Cape Town, one of the world’s most beautiful cities, nestled between the iconic Table Mountain and the shimmering ocean. Explore its white sand beaches at Clifton and Camps Bay, embark on hikes up Table Mountain, kayak alongside dolphins, or indulge in world-class wines at the scenic vineyards of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek & Constantia. Cape Town’s incredible diversity of activities, from ziplining and mountain biking to food tours and ocean safaris, makes it a must-visit destination.
South Africa is also home to some of the most celebrated safari experiences on the continent, with the Kruger National Park leading the way. This world-renowned park, larger than Wales, offers unparalleled opportunities to witness the Big Five in their natural habitat. Surrounding private reserves like Sabi Sands and Timbavati feature luxurious lodges that consistently rank among the best hotels in the world. Thanks to convenient flights from Cape Town to the park’s gateways, such as Skukuza and Nelspruit, combining city and safari has never been easier. Extend your adventure with visits to awe-inspiring sites like the Blyde River Canyon, the Drakensberg Mountains, and the beaches of Durban and the East Coast, where snorkeling, diving, and hiking await.
South Africa’s famed Garden Route offers another layer of discovery. With its lush coastal forests, stunning beaches, and trails like the Otter Trail and Whale Trail, it’s a haven for nature lovers and adventurers alike. Whether you’re exploring the country’s iconic landmarks or its hidden gems, South Africa provides a seamless travel experience with excellent infrastructure and diverse offerings. Let Secret Africa craft the perfect journey to explore this magnificent destination, combining adventure, relaxation, and unforgettable memories.
Botswana’s Untamed Wilderness
Botswana boasts some of the planet’s most pristine wilderness areas, providing an unparalleled safari adventure. The Okavango Delta, a stunning natural marvel, sits at the core of this extraordinary country. This verdant oasis emerges as rivers and streams surge through the dry terrain, turning it into a lively sanctuary for diverse wildlife. Experience the majesty of elephants, the grace of lions, the elegance of leopards, the agility of antelope, and the vibrant chorus of countless bird species. This is a place where unforgettable encounters with nature await, showcasing its beauty in the most authentic way.
The Okavango Delta offers an unrivalled safari experience, seamlessly combining tranquil water adventures with exhilarating game drives. Navigate the serene waterways in a mokoro, a traditional canoe, as you glide alongside hippos and crocodiles, witnessing the extraordinary harmony of wildlife in this stunning ecosystem. Botswana’s dedication to sustainable tourism preserves its untouched wild landscapes, positioning it as the ideal choice for travellers in search of a genuine and immersive safari adventure.
That is not all Botswana has to offer. Start your trip by exploring the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans before roaming through the desolate Central Kalahari National Park. Botswana is not a destination for a small budget, so speak to one of our travel experts who can guide you through your best options.
