Snyman Safaris is an established safari agency specializing in the planning of personalized and tailormade safari experiences in Africa.
From immersive wildlife encounters to refined private camps, our bespoke safari tours are designed for travellers who want both adventure and comfort – without compromise.
Explore remote wilderness areas by day. Return to exceptional camps, fine dining, and seamless service by night. Every journey is expertly curated and tailor-made for you.
For years, discerning travellers have trusted us to plan their private African safaris.
Our reputation is built on firsthand expertise, long-standing partnerships, and consistently exceptional guest experiences.
Walking safaris, wildlife tracking, and close-up encounters led by expert guides who understand the bush.
Private lodges and camps offering thoughtful comfort, exceptional cuisine, and attentive service in extraordinary locations.
Remote regions, low-density concessions, and carefully limited guest numbers for meaningful wildlife experiences.
Not all safari companies are the same.
Our founder-led boutique safari operator model allows us to design journeys that are entirely custom – never off-the-shelf and never rushed.
This has always been the vision of our founder, Jaco Snyman. His dream to share the most intimate and exhilarating African experiences with our clients, has always been the ultimate end goal.
To help you explore what’s possible, we offer a small collection of signature luxury safari journeys – each designed to inspire, not overwhelm. Use these journeys as a starting point, and allow us to help create your very own personalized and bespoke itinerary.
Each journey includes:
A refined 13-night luxury safari through South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Botswana
A refined Southern African journey blending Cape Town, Big Five safaris, and the spectacle of Victoria Falls.
A luxury Zambian safari pairing the Lower Zambezi’s river wilderness with South Luangwa’s iconic predator country.
A luxury Zimbabwe safari from Victoria Falls to Hwange and Mana Pools, rich in wildlife and adventure
An elegant Kenya safari through iconic highlands and classic Mara wildlife country
A premium Tanzanian safari through Tarangire, Eastern wilds and Northern Serengeti migration territory
