From small beginnings we have grown, and we are pleased to offer you – our most special guest – a range of exceptional safaris. Each safari is meticulously planned to the last detail, right from vehicle preparation to travel logistics and camping etiquette.
In no particular order, Explorer Safaris is owned and managed by two passionate naturalists, Keith Rampton and Michael Romeo.
We are qualified in Overland Travel, Off-Road Driving, Expedition Leadership, Snake Handling and First Aid to ensure that you are in the most excellent hands.
Our depth of experience ensures your safe passage through some of the most remote areas in search of the ultimate Safari Experience. We have travelled extensively across Southern Africa and we want to share our experiences and this special natural world with you.
Our popularity can be attributed to our skilled planning of small group safaris where we travel at a relaxed pace, are easily adaptable and ensure that we offer the highest possible standards in the business.
When things get really busy, Explorer Safaris employs only the best professional guides, who are experts in their fields, to conduct specialised tours and safaris.
We have a range of specially selected safaris aimed to suit individual requirements. Our Photographic Safaris will take you to some of the most picturesque locations in Southern Africa. Our Birding Safaris are selected to offer a range of Birding experiences from Water Birds to Raptors and everything in between.
Our Overland trips are carefully planned to ensure that you have the perfect balance between soaking up the sights and travelling through the African landscape. Our guides on these trips have in-depth knowledge of the areas we travel through.
The specialised Explorer trips are carefully researched to encompass places and locations actually visited by the great explorers of the past. Special attention is given to the history and background of the explorer. This is a truly enchanting experience!
