Growing up in Tanzania and planning Safaris for 25 years means I've packed for the bush more times than I can count. Mefi here, sharing my go-to Safari packing list as Georgie and I get ready to head to Tanzania this month ✨

Overall, wear what feels comfortable. You can skip the head-to-toe khaki, I often wear blues and blacks! Bring your curiosity and your sense of wonder, and you're already set for a very special time.

Swipe through for the full list, and head to the link in our bio for our blog on how we prepare for Safari as Safari Designers who grew up in East Africa.

Save this for your next Safari 🤍

Asante sana,
Mefi & Georgie

South Luangwa, Zambia. A feeling that can't be described. One of Mefi's favorites parks in Africa...coming from Tanzanian roots, this means a lot 🐘

When we send guests to Zambia, we are giddy with excitement. Some of these photos are from Mefi's trip back in 2024, and some are from our wonderful partners at Sungani, and Puku Ridge. Two of our favorite places-to-stay in South Luangwa.

If you're curious about a Zambia Safari, and experiencing the wilderness of South Luangwa, then let's begin a conversation. We are ready when you are 💫

World Rhino Day 🦏

A day to celebrate these wonderful creatures who, despite their fierce exterior, are hugely sensitive to environmental change and some species have been poached to the brink of extinction.

Today we’re shining a light on some incredible organizations and initiatives working tirelessly for rhinos.

To the rangers, researchers, local communities, donors and everyone in between, tunashukuru. We see you 💚

Our first clip is when Georgie met Alfie, the blind black rhino at Ol Jogi, carefully and lovingly looked after by the rangers. Isn’t he just the cutest?

Hongera Sana Fabien - Our third Journey to Africa Guest to summit Kilimanjaro this year ⛰️

We organized Fabien's climb [with a post-summit Safari of course] and it was everything he dreamed of "and more!". Our guests that head up Kili go for the summit, but they always come away talking about the people that made it. The guides, porters, cooks and teams and their enthusiasm, joy and hard work. They will sing you up the mountain and have you living by 'pole pole' in no time ✨

Asante sana to our wonderful mountain partners at Summits Africa who take such good care of guests up the mountain. Tunashukuru!

If you're up for a challenge, or you've always dreamed of summiting Africa's highest peak, then let us know. We love these big adventures, and we are planning more and more of them.

When a big bull drops by to say hello, on his terms 🐘

Our guests the Berkos had this handsome old bull wander right past their vehicle in Tarangire, Northern Tanzania. Close enough to count his eyelashes. A fleeting hello they'll never forget ✨

You know its a cool moment when your guide films it too!

Botswana is where we send guests who want wilderness with room to breathe 💫

The country runs a low volume, low impact tourism model, so sightings stay quiet and the floodplain in front of you feels like yours alone. Glide the Okavango channels by mokoro, drift the Chobe River as the light goes gold. Come home to an intimate lodge where the crew knows your name.

Swipe through for what keeps pulling us back, from riverfront lodges like Machaba Camp to the vast white horizon of the Makgadikgadi Pans. Then of course, the people of the Bostwana Safari world ✨

Ready to see it for yourself? Begin a conversation and we will start designing your Botswana Safari.

Bush breakfasts on Safari mean a few things 🦓

Coffee with a view, and dining in the wild - Without a doubt, bush meals are always one of the things that surprise our guests most about being on Safari - there is something so special about being outside for the majority of your meals, watching the world go by in the wild and feeling more and more a part of it all.

This was from Bonnie & Mike's recent Tanzania trip, their guide sent this over to us. So special to see our guests enjoying our favoirite things on Safari.

Let us know when you're ready to start planning your Safari and we will show you our favorite places. Bush breakfast scenes like this await!

A moment for some of our favorite recent guest photos from the wild 💫

1. White Rhino by Karl & Marla in the Ngorongoro Crater in Northern Tanzania
2. Yawning Lion from Lori & Friends Safari in Samburu, Northern Kenya
3. Amazing Cerval Cat sighting, they watched it hunt, and saw its kittens!

Even after years of planning Safaris, and going on so many ourselves, we still LOVE to see what our guests are seeing and experiencing, and it makes you realize that every Safari, every moment, every game drive and every sighting is totally unique. That is the beauty of being on safari - it will never be the same as someone else's experience. What you and your guide find out there, what reveals itself in the wild - it is a one of a kind experience that is hard to describe.

Asanteni to our wonderful guests who send us their photos, and share their experiences with us, it gives us goosebumps. Everytime.

Colors, details, textures of Safari ✨ amazing pictures from our guide Godwin, who showed Journey to Africa guests Karl & Marla the magic of Tanzania and taught them a lot about wildlife photography too.

As Karl put it “WOW! What an adventure that delivered so many lifelong memories! The guides, people, lodges, food and of course the wildlife made for such an amazing experience. Thousands of photos to go through. Thank you so much, could not have been better.”

Goosebumps. Every time. Even after 25+ years of Safari planning, feedback like this and knowing that people are experiencing the Africa we know and cherish, means the world.

If you’re thinking of planning for a Safari for 2027 or beyond, now is the time to get planning. Let us know and what you’re dreaming of 🐆
