I moved to Africa at the end of 2012 and Dan and I threw our strengths together to create the best little safari company ever! As Dan grew up in Africa and has been on many safaris, his skills matched perfectly to my years spent working in remote African countries in the safari industry. We live in Cochrane where we have a fabulous 'Out of Africa' office where the magic happens. No matter how craz

y your wishlist, we are sure we can make it happen for you! Even better, join us on one of our escorted safaris where we will show you some of the best parts that Africa has to offer..

Our wonderful guests, Paul and Sue, are on their way to Zimbabwe tomorrow. Last year they were on day 3 of their safari, when they were called back home for a family emergency. The rest of their planned safari was unable to happen. This year we expect smooth sailing and we wish them a rich and restful experience. When chatting about options with them, Paul said to me "Ants, send us somewhere off-the-beaten-track please. Somewhere remote and rustic, is what luxury really means to us". Paul and Sue, thank you for trusting me with another safari, wishing you all the best and the safest of travels!
Thank you to our safari partners, who I know will look after them like family

Endless skies, dramatic landscapes, vistas for days..
When last did you go somewhere that made you feel really small, vulnerable and insignificant in this magnificent world that we live in? Namibia is such a place. A place of soul-searching and rediscovery. A place so wildly dramatic and beautiful, it leaves you breathless! Call us today to make your safari dreams come true.

A few weeks ago Bob contacted me to plan an epic birthday safari. The passing of a close friend had made him realize that life was short and there was no better time than now! Sometimes you meet people who just 'get it' and planning this safari for him and Claire has been an absolute pleasure.
Happy birthday Bob, we'll be thinking of you!

Planning a safari can be overwhelming as there is so much information out there. Everyone who's been is full of advice ... but is it right for you?
I understand how you feel and I'm here to help. Call me to help plan your safari of a lifetime and you won't regret it!

Does remote and rustic appeal to you like it does to me...? Is this a YAY or a definite NAY?
How comfortable would you really be in the middle of nowhere?

Susan has dreamt about Africa for decades and along with her husband Neil, we started their adventure in 2019. Too long delays and much uncertainty later, we were thrilled when their safari eventually happened this September. We've received the most wonderful photos and messages of excitement and awe as their journey has progressed and it's been an honour to make their lifelong dream a reality!

Fewer things make me happier than having guests on safari, and having their expectations exceeded! I love every aspect of my job, from the advance planning, creating a special trip and right through to the post-safari chat and hearing all the stories and details. The feedback from this group has been fantastic throughout and my heart is full that they got to experience the magic of Africa too..

Edit: Please stop the search A huge thank you to Lisa Then and Ben who generously donated 20 new calculators to us! My heart is bursting with gratitude.🥰

Hello friends! This is Billy Sibanda and he is one of more than 20 kids who we sponsor in Zimbabwean schools.

I need your help please. I am searching for SOLAR POWERED SCIENTIFIC CALCULATORS for 10 kids due to start high school math in January please.
Has anyone got any second hand ones lying around or willing to donate one please? They are crazy expensive to buy in Zimbabwe so your donation would be an incredible help. They can be dropped off in the next 2 weeks with the Gwynneth Penny Butler who is helping us with this request.
Thank you in advance! Warm regards Antoinette
