Tours by Women — For Women
Safari Sisters is a women-only travel company built around a simple idea: the best journeys are the ones shaped by the women who already know the land.
We design intimate group safaris across Southern and Eastern Africa, hosted wherever possible by women who live in the country you're visiting. Conservation, community, and joy run through every itinerary.
But the why behind it goes deeper than that. For too long, Africa's stories have been told in someone else's voice — the explorer's voice, the colonist's voice, the voice of the man behind the camera.
Safari Sisters aims to turn the lens. Each journey is shaped by women who have tracked lions, raised children, run businesses, or rewilded land — often without anyone outside her village knowing her name. These are the women you'll meet. These are the women who will guide you. And by the end of your journey, their names will stay with you long after you've returned home.
Every Safari Sisters journey is also designed to change you. We believe travel at its best is not just what you see — it is what you carry home. Whether it is a new friendship forged on a game drive, a perspective shift from sitting with a community of women who are quietly rebuilding their corner of the world, or simply the profound peace of watching the sun set over the Delta — our journeys are designed to move you. Deeply, deliberately, and lastingly.
Why Women Travel With Us
Because an extraordinary trip and a meaningful one shouldn't be mutually exclusive.
Travel As Yourself
No explaining why you're not bringing a partner, no being the only woman in the group. Just ease, great company, and a group of women who simply get it.
Access You Won't Find Elsewhere
Hosted by women who live the life you're visiting, you're welcomed into kitchens, ceremonies, and conversations that most travellers never get close to.
All the Highlights, None of the Compromise
Big Five safaris, wine routes, sunrise yoga, candlelit dinners under the stars — every itinerary is built for joy and adventure, not just good intentions.
Our Values
Three principles that shape every decision we make — from the lodges we choose to the guides we hire to the projects we fund.
Hosted by Women
Wherever possible, our journeys are guided, hosted, and shaped by women. We prioritise women-owned lodges, female guides, and women's cooperatives at every step of every itinerary.
Rooted in Conservation
We only work with properties that meet strict sustainability criteria. A portion of every booking goes directly to the local projects you will visit during your journey.
Community at the Core
Travel should leave a legacy. We build community visits, skills exchanges, and direct economic contributions into every itinerary — not as add-ons, but as a core focus.
