luxury, bespoke safaris to africa

Africa is all about stories and storytelling, whether sitting around a campfire at night or a grandfather telling his grandkids traditional folklore, everyone has a story to tell. Stanley Safaris' story started years ago when our founder, Shaun Stanley began exploring Africa as a child with his parents, creating lifelong memories that are the inspiration to many of the safaris he plans for his guests. This is your turn to create your own African story that will last a lifetime.

My husband and I travelled with Shaun to Zimbabwe, Namibia, Botswana and Madagascar and everything was organized to perfection. Shaun designed the tours taking into account our needs and expectations, both in terms of wildlife and beautiful locations.

We recently went on a family safari to Botswana with Stanley Safaris and were very impressed. Shaun is a real expert in the arena and worked hard to find us a suitable safari for young kids that fitted our tight dates. Shaun was always available to talk and even went out of his way to make infographics on the different experiences so my son with special needs would be prepared.

OUR STORY

The Stanley Safaris’ Story began in the 1980s when Shaun started exploring Africa with his parents, camping on remote islands in the middle of the Okavango Delta, meeting nomadic Himba tribes in northern Namibia, walking through the forests of Mana Pools and and going in search of leopards in Zambia. Over the next 40-years Shaun continued exploring Africa, always trying to get away from the crowds and better understand the real Africa. It is from these firsthand experiences that allows Shaun and his team to create exciting, bespoke safaris for their guests.
