Born Free Safaris has been the leader in custom safaris since 1974. Experience Africa safaris in Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, or Zambia. Walk in the footsteps of Mandela in South Africa, or step back in time in Senegal, Egypt, or Morocco. Whether you are a couple, a solo traveler, a group of friends or a multigenerational family, we create journeys that become the trip you envision.

Favorite Africa Safaris
Travelers’ favorite journeys include private safaris to witness the Great Migration in the Serengeti and Masai Mara, gorilla trekking in Uganda and Rwanda, exploring Botswana’s Okavango Delta, walking safaris in Zambia, a night under the stars in the Sahara in Morocco, and meeting the lemurs of Madagascar. Beyond Africa, we also offer nature and cultural journeys to India, South America, and Antarctica.

Tailor-Made Safaris: Luxury Private Safaris or Budget-Friendly
Tailor-made safaris are our specialty, and custom doesn’t mean expensive. Your trip is designed around your comfort level, the time of year you travel, your interests and your budget. We work hard to keep your trip within the budget you set. Private guided safaris can be surprisingly affordable in Tanzania.

Accessible Safaris & Tours
Born Free Safaris believes travel should be accessible to everyone. Most of our journeys can be adapted for physical or neurodiverse needs. Adaptable trips are clearly marked on each itinerary throughout our website, and we will work closely with you to tailor them to our individual requirements.
