We’ve done it again! The votes have been tallied, and SAFARI.COM has cemented its position as the best in Africa. We were named Africa’s Leading Safari Company 2025 at the World Travel Awards in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on 28 June, following our win in 2024.
“Our winners represent the very best of our industry, and we salute their achievements in helping shape the future of travel across the region,” Graham Cooke, the president and founder of the World Travel Awards, said at the ceremony.
And our win is thanks to you, our guests, who have trusted us with your safari dreams. This award is a testament to our hard-working team and their commitment to providing you with an exceptional safari experience.

These are uncertain times, marked by trade tensions and slowing economic growth, though there is light ahead, and consumer confidence is showing signs of recovery globally.
Caution likely guides you in making plans. We understand this. Our goal is to ensure that you feel confident in your booking, knowing you’re in expert hands.
You’ve shown that our philosophy of doing things a little differently is a winner, like our addition of complimentary BRONZE travel insurance with all bookings made through SAFARI.COM until 31 July 2025.
Thank you to Mel du Toit for planning an incredible trip for us. Fantastic lodges, the game drives were beyond anything we could have imagined, and we truly appreciated the assistance provided before, during and after our trip. – A guest from Australia

Leigh-Ann from Safari.com was great to work with to plan our group safari trip. She was able to get me on the priority waitlist for a lodge that I liked, which ended up working out for our group during my preferred dates. Leigh-Ann was responsive and provided various tour recommendations for us to decide on the best option for us…I had a great experience.– Stanley from the United States

The World Travel Awards
The annual awards were established in 1993 to recognise the travel organisations that push the boundaries of excellence and innovation across all sectors of the tourism industry.
“Today, the WTA brand is recognised globally as the ultimate hallmark of quality, with winners setting the benchmark to which all others aspire,” the World Travel Awards write. We like to think we set the benchmark for safaris in Africa, where we work in countries across the continent, and customise holidays to suit every pocket.
