Having organised and accompanied a sort of 'fun rally' in 1984 in South Africa which was filmed for German TV, Gabi realised this was was where her future lay. Gabi swiftly moved to run the company's South African office and immersed herself in all the continent had to offer. Finally returning to her native country, Germany, Gabi founded Jacana Tours and has never looked back; 'to be honest: us tour operators are very spoilt, as we can enjoy the most beautiful places in the world and still call it work!'.

Wildlife Planet is our family safari company dedicated to creating a personalised safari experience for families and groups of friends visiting Africa. Nothing is packaged and we are totally focused on the safari operators, camps and lodges, many that can be booked exclusively, that we know work best for small groups. We have had the incredible luxury of calling Zambia home, with a safari guide father and his lovely chef/assistant (my mum), running canoe and mobile safaris throughout Africa for groups of upto 16 travellers, safari is the life we know. We have all been involved in running safari camps and lodges so have an in-depth knowledge of how they work. We have been a part of every aspect of the safari world and it is our my turn to help you enjoy the Africa that we know and love. The serenity of distant lions roaring, the gentle hum of the African bush punctuated by the occasional hippo or elephant rumble. We are a family run operation. Our father & daughter company has over 50 years of safari experience to draw on. We know that it's critical that your safari experience is one of a kind and that you will look back on it with the happiest of memories. Let us share our knowledge with your family or group of friends to build your dream safari and make your safari a truly unforgettable experience.
