From your very first private consultation to the meticulous design of your bespoke itinerary, every detail is thoughtfully curated around your individual tastes, pace, and interests. Whether it’s securing exclusive-use villas, arranging a private guide, and aircraft. Or unlocking rare wildlife encounters in Africa’s most iconic wilderness areas, we ensure your safari is seamless, deeply personal, and utterly unforgettable.
We are as passionate about designing remarkable journeys as we are about experiencing the magic of safari ourselves.

Few vacations offer better time together as a family.
The intimacy of small camp settings. A lack of distraction from the outside world. Exhilarating wildlife encounters and ever-changing game drives. Elements that curate conversation and memories for a lifetime of reflection.
“I grew up in South Africa and some of my fondest childhood memories are of family vacations spent in The Kruger National Park. This early exposure has led to a life of pursuing wild spaces. As a full time safari guide I gleaned a deep knowledge of this special continent. My years spent at Londolozi Private Game Reserve and other world renowned lodges grew my understanding of wildlife, their behaviour and Africa’s abundance of destinations.
Every safari reveals more of Africa’s varied landscapes, captivating wildlife and her special people.
Soar has grown from a lifetime of safari; I now find great joy in sharing the feeling of safari with others.”
