The Safari Awards

A CHRONICLE OF EXCELLENCE

Established in 2007, The Safari Awards are a symbol of distinction in African safari and wildlife tourism. Our journey commenced with a singular, unwavering purpose: to applaud and recognise the accomplishments of safari operators and properties across Africa. This mission has since evolved to encompass a deep appreciation for those who consistently surpass expectations, display an unwavering dedication to conservation, and demonstrate operational excellence while actively supporting local communities.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Safari Awards underwent a significant transformation. Today, in 2024, we are thrilled to re-emerge with renewed vigour and purpose. Our commitment remains unwavering-to celebrate excellence across all budgets while advocating for responsible tourism practices that benefit Africa's pristine wilderness and its local communities.
