Safari Travel is present on the trour operators and travel market since 1995. It has been founded by Dorota Katende -  a traveller, reporter and African guide. Her first expeditions are described in Afircan Diaries, which inlude also her first Kilimanjaro climb in 1995, which was successfuly reached without any earlier training or praparation. Despite all the contraries expressed by the environment and many negative opinions about the safety in Africa, Dorota says that Safari Travel is her personal success:

"I experienced the egzotic Africa, which until that moment seemed to be an unreal dream, and I have started the business based on my private interests. My passion turned into work. This is why it gives me satisfaction and I never get tired or bored with the clients, because they treat me as an expert. I constantly visit new places. I have organised various expeditions of my idea to Kenya and Tanzania ? they were untipical, new and pioneer trips through the offroads of Africa."

Our company has lead many trips for groups of tourists, managers, families. We have a broad experience in expeditions to places, where the regular scheduled trips do not go. We are ready to make a special tailor-made itinerary for each of our clinents ? from harsh and simple 19th century-type safari to luxurious voyages throug colonial properties of Africa.
After so many years we were able to find the perfect location for our house in Zanzibar. Here we have built Vanilla House right on the white beach of the Indina Ocean. You can read about its beginnings, construction process and getting to know the island of Zanzibar here.

"It is a fascinating part of my life. Vanilla House is where I host tourists and write books about my voyages through Afica. I still work as a guide and constantly organise new trips to Africa. I have created a club of African gudes, game trackers, African mansions owners and adventure seekers" - says Dorota Katende.

The expeditions we organize are of unique individual character and provide an intimate atmosphere. As a general rule we avoid mass tourism and the public. Hiking is discovering, learning the real life and the people and wildlife of Africa. If you are looking for an unusual program prepared "to measure" - visit us. Tell us your needs and we will choose the right trip for you.

We want our guests to touch, taste and feel the real Africa, to enter into the rhythm of local life and give up in the wild and unusual rhythms and the unusual sincerity and honesty of this very continent and its inhabitants.

We organize trips to Africa, safaris, pioneering expeditions, vacation on the white beaches of the Indian Ocean, diving, or leisure in luxury hotels.

We devote our personal attention and advice to fulfill our clients' dreams of the best routes, places and ways to reach them. Our trips are organized at individual needs, within a desired budget and in small groups:

For Globetrotters (programs with the symbol G): the interested in the real world. That trips are created for those who want to discover and learn about Africa, to experience an unusual adventure on a safari, travelling off the beaten trails in the heat, participating in setting campsites and sleeping in tents without comforts and very close to nature. These are wonderful, full of unforgettable moments trips that make it possible to touch and see up close a wonderful world of nature untouched by civilization, wild animals, the origins of humanity and the history of colonization of this land. During the trips, participants visit the most beautiful and renown national parks, monuments and cities of Africa. Upon their return they are no longer the same - Africa changes people, enriches their personality and makes them fall in love with her forever.

For Connoisseurs (programs with the symbol K): the enthusiasts of Africa already familiar with its realities, seeking uncommon adventures, places and stories, wishing to explore Africa where the majority of tourist do not reach. These expeditions are organized to meet the unique requirements of travelers who aim at the unknown, the new and the unusual, but also for those seeking something more than the a standard safari in tents. During such trips, escorted by a personal guide they visit national parks located outside of the tourist routes and explore places that are remote and difficult to access, which are reached only by the strongest. At other times they use a private aircraft and Land Rovers, sleep in a beautiful lodge or a luxurious tent enjoying the comfort in the proximity of nature, as did the first colonizers.

We are an agent for Overland Africa, the largest safari company organizing trips to Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, Malawi, Mozambique and South Africa. Some of them even last 56 days!
