ABOUT US
About Only One Safaris
Two Decades of Transformative
Safari Experiences
OUR STORY
From Burnout to Bush
How We Found Our Purpose
We were not born into the safari world. Like many of our clients, we were corporate professionals—stressed, overworked, and desperately needing something more than another hotel conference room or beach resort.
Our first African safari was not planned. It was a last-minute decision, born from exhaustion and a need to disconnect. What we found changed our lives forever.
In the stillness of the Serengeti, watching the sun paint the acacia trees gold, something shifted. Time slowed down. Our nervous systems finally exhaled. For the first time in years, we felt truly present.
That experience sparked a journey that led us to leave our corporate lives behind. We spent years learning from the best—creating journeys and camps, learning from the best guides and operators, understanding the intricate dance between luxury hospitality and wild Africa.
Today, Only One Safaris exists for one reason: to give other high-achieving professionals the same life-changing experience that transformed us. Because we know what it is like to be where you are. And we know exactly what you need.
What Makes Us Different
Experience That Matters
We have been in every seat in the safari industry. We have managed lodges, planned and equipped expeditions, planned thousands of journeys. We know what exceptional looks like—because we have lived it.
Boutique & Personal
We are not a massive tour operator. We are a small team of experts who limit our client numbers to ensure every safari gets our full attention. When you work with us, you work with us—not a call center.
The Details That Count
From the moment you land to your final sunrise, every detail is considered. Private transfers, English-speaking guides, dietary preferences, special celebrations—nothing is too small to perfect.
Beyond the Surface
We do not just book lodges. We craft experiences. Want to meet conservation researchers? Dine with Maasai elders? Photograph the migration from a hot air balloon? We make it happen.
