Crafting authentic travel journeys since 1984

Explorer is more than just a travel company. For us, travel has never been just a destination—it’s a way of life. We're a family of explorers shaped by our love for Africa and the wanderlust that runs deep in our roots. Since 1984, we've been guiding groups through some of the world's wildest spaces and places.

Today, we remain a family-run business that’s passionate about crafting rare journeys defined by authenticity, luxury and a sense of adventure. No two trips are the same: each one is a story, written just for you.

Our handpicked lodges, retreats and private residences embody exclusivity and authenticity. Some, like our private camps in Tanzania, are our own; others we know and have visited often — but all feel like your luxury home away from home.

They are by far and wide the best guide service I have ever used. We have had the pleasure of seeing every type of animal from gorilla to leopard, crocodile to lion, elephant to baby hyena.

Everything was done with the eye of perfection. The guides were fun, funny, knowledgeable, inclusive, kind... I could go on and on.

We have been with Explorer on more than 20 safaris to Africa. They have all been amazing and varied.

This is the Real McCoy in Africa... you will experience it like no one else... and, Explorer does it better than anyone else.
