About Us

We Help Our Clients Enjoy Unforgettable Safari and Wildlife Experiences in Africa

Our mission is to provide everyone the opportunity to experience the exhilaration of an African safari in a sustainable manner, whether you are a budget traveller or enjoy a more luxurious safari experience.

Our Story

Snyman Safaris was founded in 2020 by me, Jaco Snyman, as a result of privately guiding clients for more than 20 years, especially to the best safari regions of Southern Africa.

My guiding days have earned me the nickname, Afrika Jack – many guests struggled to pronounce my name…and the name has stuck with me since then.

Up until 2020, I was still doing the 9 to 5 thing as a financial adviser, which I enjoyed, but it was not where my passion was at all….it is just where my education led me.

Since a very young age, my parents would take us on holidays to the Kruger National Park three times a year, and often we would also travel up north to visit Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Zambia…this ignited the spark.

During the Covid lockdown in 2020, I decided to follow my passion and to transform my part-time guiding service into a full-time safari planning business.

Over 20 years of traveling to the best safari regions in Africa has earned me extensive knowledge and experience to provide you, our guest, with the best safari experience possible. The relationships built with our property and logistical partners in these destinations over the many years also ensure a seamless travel adventure.

As with any new business, building trust with the public takes time, and Snyman Safaris has grown year upon year, purely by the high standard of service we pride ourselves in, and the ever-important relationships we form with our valued clients.

We have seen our business double in the year 2024 – with many new clients being referrals from previous guests – which shows we are on the right path.

We are so proud of what our clients have to say about us…some of them are even willing to talk directly with you and answer any questions you may have.
