Life’s biggest trips are best shared

the friendly way

Africa is calling, lets answer it together?

We plan extraordinary, bespoke safaris across Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Malawi. Hand-crafted, personalised and built around you.







  • "I couldn't be more pleased with your planning and organising. Every single aspect of the Kenyan trip was faultless and even though our expectations, excitement and anticipation was pretty high, it was all exceeded!"

    — Catherine (Family Safari, Kenya & Zanzibar) 

  • "Thank you for an amazing honeymoon for us, we wanted beach and safari and you delievered. The lodges were so thoughtful with all their romantic extras, and it really felt like every detail had been considered. Thank you again — trying to plan this ourselves would have ended up a stressful mess! We will be in touch soon"

    — Peter (Honeymoon, Kenya)

  • "Lucy arranged our Zambia safari, and everything worked like clockwork, particularly the transfer from Lilongwe, Malawi to the Luangwa Valley. The camp was really good and was outstanding for walking safaris."

    — Helen & Howard (Zambia)

  • "Every detail was thoughtfully executed. We're thrilled with the outcome."

Why The Friendly Safari Company?

Here's the thing - The Friendly Safari Co is not a call centre, and we're not a faceless booking platform. We're a small, personal team of one: with over ten years living in Zambia, and the ongoing privilege of returning to Africa again and again.

We've slept under the stars in South Luangwa. Watched lions hunt on the Maasai Mara. Felt the warm sand of the Kenyan coast underfoot, and the spray of Victoria Falls on our faces. We don't know these places from brochures - we know them from real, muddy-boots, heart-in-your-mouth experience.

We're obsessed with getting every detail right: the perfect camp, the right guide, the room with the view you won't forget. Because it's those details that turn a holiday into a journey you'll be telling stories about for the rest of your life.

Family safaris are what we love planning most. There's nothing quite like watching Africa work its magic on a child - an experience they'll never forget, and neither will you.

Let’s start planning?
