Satori Africa

Specialists in luxury wilderness, wildlife, historical and cultural travel around the world. Where Every Journey is a Journey of Discovery. WHAT WE OFFER.

THE MEANING OF SATORI. Satori can be roughly translated to mean enlightenment or awakening. The name Satori Africa is inspired by the beautiful restorative power and healing nature of the African continent. This land lends itself to a holiday of sheer relaxation, indulgence, and restoration. Mother Nature was no doubt in a particularly generous mood when blessing Africa with breath-taking African

sunsets, the crisp salty refreshing air of the Atlantic Ocean, produce of unbridled goodness and abundance, mountains of staggering proportions, thriving wildlife and rolling gold savannah grasslands. The Satori Africa logo is inspired by the beautiful Baobab tree, a tree that is distinctly African. Affectionately known as the ‘Upside Down’ Tree, the Baobab plays a part in almost all African folklore and provides shelter and food for man and animal alike. For us, the Baobab reflects Africa, our home! Find your harmony here with us. Besides providing you with the ultimate in bespoke itineraries, we firmly believe that no trip to Africa is complete without experiencing some of our personal favourite epicurean experiences or following the new trend of incorporating a host of wellness experiences into your trip. SATORI AFRICA IS BORN. Satori Africa was born through an idea dreamed up in the heart of the Cape Winelands – the epicurean epicenter of South Africa and one of the most relaxed of settings from which to really let the healing power of Africa envelop you. Satori Africa is passionate about Southern Africa and its people, food and wine and the memories it helps create, wellness and the beauty of travel. It is little surprise then that the very dream was to create experiences for guests, worldwide, to come to the southern tip of Africa and embrace in what makes us, at Satori, tick. Traveling with Satori Africa promises to deliver beyond the realms of any other travel memories. Book with Satori Africa and experience Southern Africa like an ‘in the know’ local.
