About Us
Ever wondered about a safari in Africa? Not sure where to start?
Organizing a safari is a complex process, there is a lot to consider. Kusini Safaris, an independent, owner run company, will guide you through the process. We design luxury African safaris, tailor made to your needs.
Privately Guided Safaris
Whether you want to go on luxury safari with a group of friends, with your family, or you have been on safari many times and you want something more; a private guide is an essential compliment to your safari.
Tailored For You
Our luxury African safari adventures are unique journeys designed around you. We don't sell any off the shelf package holidays.
Extensive Experience
We have grown up, lived, and worked in, the places we send you. From forgetting the coffee to getting stuck in the sand. Our safari industry experience is real and direct.
Handpicked Camps
We work with a select collection of camps, lodges and hotels. We know the guides, we know the owners and we know how soft the pillows are!
Ethical Approach
Our foundation is in conservation. Our community and conservation commitments are active and genuine.
Independent
We are independently owned and run. We know our suppliers personally and a lot of our business comes from recommendations.

DiscoverWhat People Say
Kathy
"This was our second safari with Kusini, our first being in Tanzania. Both Safaris with Kusini have been the absolutely best of the 6 safaris that we have been on. They both surpassed our expectations...the best game, best camps, best gourmet food, and the greatest adventure...all done with meticulous detail. We would never use another operator!"
Nick
"Kusini Safaris has officially provided me with the best trip I have ever been on in my entire life. I never thought I could experience SO much in just two short weeks. Every single day was full of so much wonder and adventure, and quite frankly I never wanted it to end!"
Kate
"There are so many different ways to experience Africa, whether you want a luxurious trip or whether you want to really experience the wild of the bush, or a little bit of both. Paul knows exactly how to tailor it to what you're looking for. He's not only a great guide and knows just as much as anyone about the wildlife of Africa, but he's also a joy to be around and makes the trip so much more fun."

When To Go On Safari?
We have touched on when to go on safari in several of our blogs and it must always be a central part of planning any trip. You need to think about the weather, when you can get time off work, if your favourite animal is going to be around, and any number of other factors related to timing.
COVID-19 & Your Safari
As Tanzania welcomes safari vacations, new health and safety measures have been implemented in response to COVID-19, to keep you safe during your stay.
With the ever changing situation in mind, Kusini Safaris has changed our procedures to make it easier for you to reschedule your safari trip.
