Wildlife Safari

Our Journey

As pioneers in creating luxury travel experiences the Wildlife Safari story began in Nairobi, Kenya over fifty years ago. Tom Fernandes founded the family owned and family managed safari operator business and over many years Wildlife Safari has quietly evolved into a global luxury travel operator with a portfolio of destinations extending through Africa to the islands of the Indian Ocean and across to India. With vast years of experience and expertise in creating travel experiences from luxury photographic safaris to idyllic escapes, weddings, honeymoons and family holidays, Wildlife Safari established an office in Perth, Australia in 1987. While the Wildlife Safari journey has been long and at times challenging it has taken us to where we are today, a highly personal and luxury travel company to Africa, India and islands of the Indian Ocean.

Our Experts Know the Way

Experience counts

Our Wildlife Safari Experts are passionate about our destinations with years of experience to our collection of desirable destinations. The team regularly ventures to our portfolio of destinations in search of something new and unique, something local, to explore the latest in luxury properties, discover the best resorts, palaces, hotels, lodges and tented camps and are always on the lookout for new encounters and innovative experiences.

Our distinct style of travel.

Wildlife Safari offers a unique and highly personalised service. Expect an impeccable level of service with your travel arrangements as our team of destination experts will custom design your travel arrangements based on the style of safari or holiday you desire, a special occasion, a significant birthday, your interests, the type of accommodation and how much you intend to spend.

Let Us Tailor Your Journey

Why are there no prices on our website?

Our website is full of suggestions, recommended journeys and ideas to inspire your first safari, your next safari, private journey, island holiday, family holiday or honeymoon. We recommend you use our website as your starting point to planning your journey to Africa, the islands of the Indian Ocean and India.

We do not include prices as things can and do change very quickly. New airline routes open and others close, exceptional hotels, resorts, hideaways, tented camps and lodges get even better or maybe close for a short time due to refurbishment. We regularly receive promotional rates, special deals and bonus offers along with Stay/Pay offers, early booking specials and other promotional specials of additional benefits, honeymoon exclusives, meal plans, room upgrades etc. To ensure you receive our expert advice as well as the most competitive pricing we ask you to contact one of our dedicated Destination Experts to custom design your journey from start to finish and provide you with a personal quotation.

The journeys on our website can be booked as they are or contact us for a one on one consultation on where you want to go, how long you want to go for and in the style you wish to travel. We will custom design a trip of a lifetime and provide our personal recommendations and quite possibly offer recommendations to destinations you may have not even considered. No matter what your interests are, we will help you to discover Africa, India and islands of the Indian Ocean with confidence, in style and always at the best value.

Integrity.

Wildlife Safari is an independent operator. We are family owned and family managed. Unlike many travel companies and tour operators, we do NOT request and will NOT accept marketing funds from a hotel, lodge, camp, and resort or local operator to promote a specific product or to be featured on our website. This allows Wildlife Safari to remain totally independent to offer and sell our destinations based on an objective selection criterion based on safety, location, facilities, cuisine, management, service and value, and importantly what best suits our clients not our suppliers and ensures we always recommend the very best for our clients

Support.

Wildlife Safari head office in Nairobi, Kenya operates seven days a week with access 24/7 and our office in Perth, Australia is open five days a week with an Emergency Support Desk so we are with you from the beginning of your journey until you arrive safely home. In addition, our dedicated local suppliers provide our guests with a 24/7 direct contact while on the ground.
