Lady Tusk Safaris

In a part of the world where most say a woman can’t run her own business or be a safari guide, my passion and drive simply wouldn’t take no for an answer.

If you trust me with your safari adventure, I promise you will see why I felt a calling to this work — you won’t find someone more knowledgeable about our beautiful parks or more committed to curating the exact experience you are looking for.

Together we can give you the trip of a lifetime and the help change the world.
