The people behind your journey
For more than 30 years, African Safari Consultants has been helping American travellers discover Africa. Our close-knit team of consultants brings decades of collective experience across the continent, with each person bringing their own destinations, experiences and insights to the table.
Based in Cape Town and New York, we combine deep knowledge of Africa with a strong understanding of the needs of American travellers. We work closely together, sharing ideas, recommendations and new discoveries, while our dedicated support team takes care of the detail behind the scenes.
Many of our consultants have travelled extensively with their own families, so they understand that every traveller – from couples and solo adventurers to families and multi-generational groups – has different needs and expectations.
Our clients' feedback says more about our service than we ever could. Read our five-star reviews on Trustpilot.
