It’s extremely rewarding and a huge relief to FINALLY have our travellers enjoying safaris that have been postponed for two years!! 🙌🙌🏽🙌🏾🙌🏿

And the family feedback is back in…. 👇

Swipe for some of their travel pics…🐘🐆

“Our family of 5 have recently returned from a 2 week adventure in Botswana and Victoria Falls.

I first contacted Richard Field from African Family Safaris 7 years ago, with a dream to take our young family to Africa. We had a 5 year plan to save up and to wait until our youngest child was old enough to remember the adventure, so Richard gave me a rough estimate of the cost and then we reconnected a few years later when we were ready to start planning for real.

Just as we were beginning to get ready for our adventure, the COVID-19 pandemic was declared and the international borders for Australia were closed. AFS successfully deferred all of our bookings to 2021 and then a further 12 months to 2022, without any fees or penalties being incurred.

So it took a little longer than expected, but it was worth every minute!

I think the key to AFS’ success is that underpinning everything was Richard’s ability to really connect with who we are, what we were interested in and what was important to us. He didn’t try and sell us the most expensive safari at the most luxurious lodges, but took the time to understand what we really wanted from our holiday and made sure our itinerary appealed to all members of our family.

We were blown away – it was everything we wanted it to be, allowing our family to disconnect from our busy lives, slow down and discover the world and each other in a whole new way. It was truly the trip of a lifetime, and we are so grateful to have experienced such incredible environments and to have been looked after by such experienced and genuinely caring people while in Africa.

Richard, we can’t thank you enough for dreaming up this adventure for us and to Bridget for ensuring we were so well prepared and for never getting tired of answering all my questions! 😊”

***Turn sound up***

Potentially life changing safari experience open to the public.

In later September, early October AFS director, Richard Field and his great friend and mentor Kane Motswana will be leading a one week immersion into the Okavango Delta in Botswana.

It is the first time they have ever co-guided a safari open to the public, so this is an incredibly rare opportunity for just 7 people.

7 nights in a remote bush camp - no wifi, no cell phone signal, no one demanding your attention. Just pure wild Africa.

Watch (and listen to) the video and you will understand what this is all about.

This safari is perfect for you if:

- You like the idea of being completely immersed in one of Africa's great wilderness areas.

- You feel like you could do with a full life reset (ctrl-alt-delete).

- If you would like to discover that you are a part of the global web of life, rather than just a spectator.

- If you feel like there must be more to life then what you are currently experiencing.

This is a safari for the soul. To book get in contact with Richard via the Whatsapp button below or email [email protected]

We’re spoiled for choice with phenomenal content from Richard Field’s recent safari.

Here’s a boat ride along the Linyanti River on a spectacular summer afternoon.

Incredible reflections, storm brewing in the background and maybe a surprise visitor!

Make sure to watch until the end. 🦛🙊😆

When you’re lucky enough to see leopards mating, and it’s in the romance of sunlit grasses. 😍😍

These usually solitary predators will spend several days together during their courtship, mating every few minutes or 100+ times a day.

Pop your volume on for the full experience:
flick tail, present, mount, growl, bite, snarl, swipe, rest and repeat. 🐆🐆🌾🌾

Tuludi Camp can hope to see some tiny leopard cubs in 3 months or so. 🤞🏽🤞🏽😻😻

Richard Field has been camp-hopping.

Although, I’m not sure we can call this camping can we?
More an architectural triumph perched in a wild setting..... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you’re looking for something a little more indulgent to treat yourself to on a special safari, then Jao Camp hits the brief.

Jaw-dropping design, meticulous attention to detail and an unwavering commitment to the conservation of this sector of Unesco’s World Heritage site, the pristine Okavango Delta.

Every detail has been curated to the highest level, including the complete delicate restructure of a giraffe skeleton in the camp museum & library.

Ok, you can pick your jaw up now.

Second honeymoon anyone? 💍

This speaks for itself.

There really is nothing that compares to a wild male lion in full blown roar. Intensely powerful.

Crank the volume to it’s maximum and enjoy. 📣💥

If you weren’t a morning person before your safari, you soon will be. 🌅🔥

The moments before dawn in the African wilderness are incomparable.

The snap of a campfire; stirrings of the bush all around. A dawn chorus of birds, hippos, baboons coming down from roost; or maybe an alarm call and the territorial rasp or roar of a predator.

Anticipation is high, it’s the threshold of a new day on safari, and there’s no telling what awaits.

This is what has us going back again and again and again. 🦒🐘🐆🌍

Taking cues from it’s natural surroundings, the tiered alfresco area at Wilderness Safaris Abu Camp revolves around a central termite mound - bringing nature even closer in both proximity and design; allowing an up close view of the impressive structures that play such a pivotal role in the formation of the Okavango. 🐜🌿

What is luxury to you? 🌿

Our founder Richard Field is back with Mother Africa, and we think he looks pretty happy about it. 🙌🏽
... and how about that baobab? What an ancient giant. 🌳🌍😍

Some teeny, tiny, mewling lion cubs to brighten your day. 😍😍😍

Honestly, when our travellers witness such special scenes - sightings that not all safari goers are fortunate enough to witness - we count our lucky stars. 💫

Not only because they have clearly hit the safari jackpot, but because we know that Africa & it’s wildlife have now penetrated their hearts. 💘

And quite frankly, there is no better way to conserve Africa’s wild lion population than sustainable tourism to protect the wilderness areas they are home to.

If you haven’t seen lions in the wild, it’s a stretch to want to spend your dollars on conserving them. But to see these newborn cubs playing, tumbling and starting out their life is a precious thing, and a huge motivator for people to be invested in the conservation of lions. 🦁

The African lion is classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN list. Please don’t let them slip on our watch. ⚠️
Consider donating to , an organisation doing important, long term work to save African lions and their habitat.

Thanks to for this adorable video, and don’t forget to turn your sound on! 🙏🏼 📣😍

At last!

Gifting being packed for a multigenerational family of 12 in the USA that are set to embark on their long awaited safari. 😅🌍

A huge thank you to those travellers that have hung in there, postponed their trips and stuck with us since the world closed down over a year ago. 🙏🏼

You’re about to have the Serengeti and Masai Mara all to yourself as your reward.
