Meet the experts behind your safari…🦓

Kelly Mattin
Specialist Safari Consultant

🦒 Favourite part of your job?

“I absolutely love working with clients to build exceptional safaris they’ll remember forever - and of course…the opportunity to travel to Africa with my work is a big part of the joy too!”

🌿 Most unforgettable African experience?

“One of my favourite experiences in Africa was Gorilla trekking in Uganda – This is quite simply one of the most amazing and humbling experiences I have ever had, it actually moved me to tears. Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is a beautiful place, so lush, green and vibrant. After trekking for two hours, we found our Gorilla family who were just incredible to share space with. They were relaxed, calm and very inquisitive, spending a full hour with them was an absolute privilege and something I’ll cherish forever.”

📍 Where are you most excited to return?

“I’ve lived and worked all over Africa and as a real “foodie” I love the relaxed charm and vibrant sophistication of Cape Town. For me it is one of the most beautiful city’s I have ever visited and it has so much to offer. The natural beauty of it is unmissable, with Table Mountain presiding over the city on one side and the brilliant blue waters of the Atlantic framing it on the other. The food scene is incredible, and the Winelands are among the best in the world. Venture slightly further out and you can go whale watching in Hermanus, hiking at Cape Point or visit the penguins at Boulders Beach – there is always something new for me to explore every time I go.”

Kelly brings a wealth of first-hand knowledge and genuine passion to every itinerary she creates - helping you experience Africa at its most unforgettable.

Namibia 🇳🇦 is a strikingly original choice for a honeymoon - quietly spectacular and full of contrast. You can explore it by vehicle, light aircraft, or even on horseback through the Namib Desert.

There’s real variety here: world-class game viewing (including desert adapted species 🐘) vast desert scenery, remote coastlines and cultural history too - from San rock engravings to traditional Himba communities.

For couples who want space, discovery, and a little off-the-map magic, Namibia delivers something quietly extraordinary.

Meet the Experts Behind Your Safari…🦒

Fran Woolgar
Specialist Safari Consultant 🌸

Fran brings deep knowledge, genuine passion and first-hand experience to every itinerary she designs. Her goal? To make sure your time in Africa is not just a holiday - but a trip of a lifetime that leaves you falling in love with the continent.

"One of the best parts of my work is hearing from clients after their trips - when they describe that sense of connection and awe that only Africa seems to evoke. It’s a privilege to help people experience that for themselves.”

Fran’s been lucky enough to explore a wide range of destinations across Africa over the past 12 years with Safari Consultants.

“There have been so many memorable moments,” she says. “One of the best was the time our vehicle was completely surrounded by lions on the Busanga Plains in Kafue, they were within touching distance, and so relaxed that we couldn't move anywhere for over an hour…”

“I also loved taking my own family on safari - seeing that sense of discovery in their eyes - was incredibly special.”

What has been your favourite wildlife experience?

"Always elephants. I never get tired of watching them. Their social interactions, their intelligence… I could honestly sit with a herd all day.” 🐘

Where in Africa would you always come back to?
"I’m always excited about the next trip, but I have a particular love for Southern Africa. Zambia and Botswana feel truly wild - and the Okavango Delta is unlike anywhere else I’ve ever been.”

If you're looking to plan a safari with someone who is truly passionate, knowledgeable and understands both the logistics and the emotion behind a great journey - Fran’s here to help make your next trip the best so far…

At Safari Consultants, we believe that where you go matters - but who you travel with matters even more. ✅

An African safari is one of the world’s most unforgettable travel experiences. When done responsibly, it becomes so much more - a meaningful way to support biodiversity and contribute directly to vital conservation efforts. 🌱

The wildlife, landscapes and communities that make Africa so special face very real challenges, from habitat loss to climate change. Thoughtful, low-impact tourism plays a vital role in helping to protect these ecosystems and support local livelihoods.
�We actively work with trusted lodges, camps and partners who are involved in:
�🌳 Wildlife conservation�👣 Sustainable operations�🤝 Community engagement

That means your trip doesn’t just offer unforgettable wildlife sightings and breathtaking scenery - it directly contributes to preserving the environments and cultures that make this continent so unique.

This , we’re proud to highlight how every well-planned, responsible safari can be a genuine force for good.

Waterberry Zambezi Lodge, Zambia

More importantly, our guests consistently return with glowing reviews about its laid-back charm, warm hospitality, and stunning setting. 🌿

Stay in one of the seven charming cottages, or the private River Farmhouse (ideal for groups or larger families), all surrounded by tranquil, lush, mature gardens.

"There’s a difference between booking a safari - and having one crafted by someone who truly knows Africa."

Meet the team at Safari Consultants...

Mary Grimwood
Senior Specialist Consultant

🐘 What do you love about your job?

“I feel privileged to have worked in the travel business for nearly 30 years and, whilst it sounds like a cliché, I am passionate about sharing my deep love of safari Africa with clients who, whilst they may be experienced travellers, haven’t yet immersed themselves fully in this wondrous continent.

Africa is the place that truly gets under your skin, yearning for more, and leaving you with memories that last a lifetime.

I am lucky enough to have visited 44 countries around the world, but it is Africa that keeps pulling me back and I take a huge amount of pleasure when my clients return from a safari which I have crafted for them, with their own wanderlust for Africa!

🦓What has been one of your favourite experiences in Africa?

“Self-driving through Skeleton Coast National Park. I have always found beauty in austere landscapes and driving north along the coast through the Skeleton Coast National Park in Namibia was thrilling. Signing in at the park office when you enter the park is the first indication of what an extraordinary area it is – the previous car to enter had passed through some four days earlier (!) and it felt like embarking on a great adventure into an unpopulated wilderness.

🦏Where in Africa do you most look forward to going back to?

“Having spent time working there, Kenya, and specifically the Masai Mara, will always hold a special place in my heart. Not only is it a haven for arguably the best game viewing in Africa, but home also to some of the most charismatic people you could wish to meet.”
