About Yellow Zebra Safaris
Written by the company
Yellow Zebra Safaris
Yellow Zebra Safaris was founded in 2012 with a simple ambition: to build the best safari company possible.
Today, we are recognised as one of the world’s leading safari specialists, creating tailor-made journeys across Africa designed by people who have genuinely lived and worked on the continent. Our team is made up entirely of former professional safari guides, camp managers, and individuals born or raised in Africa - people whose knowledge comes from real first-hand experience, not brochures or sales scripts.
We believe the best safaris are built on honest advice, strong opinion, and a deep understanding of what makes each destination special. That’s why we invest heavily in continual research across Africa, ensuring our specialists regularly return to the camps, lodges, and the top game viewing areas they recommend. When you speak to Yellow Zebra, you’re speaking to someone who knows the realities of safari travel - from the rhythm of a game drive to which camps consistently deliver the best guiding, atmosphere, and wildlife experiences.
Our approach has always been refreshingly straightforward. We don’t believe in pushy sales tactics or over-polished luxury travel jargon. Instead, we focus on giving clear, experience-led guidance that helps our clients spend wisely on the experiences that genuinely matter most to them.
Behind the scenes, our operations and guest experience teams include people who have worked with some of Africa’s most respected safari brands and camps. Combined with our 24/7 emergency support, dedicated medical support, and African office network, this means our clients are looked after from the moment they book to the moment they return home.
We’re proud to have been named Europe’s Leading Safari Company at the World Travel Awards for eleven consecutive years, alongside recognition from Condé Nast Traveller UK and Condé Nast Traveler US. More importantly, we’re trusted by thousands of travellers who have chosen us to help plan one of the most important trips of their lives.
At Yellow Zebra, we believe safari should feel personal, authentic, and deeply connected to Africa itself - its landscapes, wildlife, people, and stories. Standing out from the herd has always been part of who we are.

Let me know he had got the extra day I wouldn’t have got the new airline ticket. I wasted over£600 on another ticket I didn’t need. That money could have gone on the extra day. Otherwise I would have given five stars instead of four.

A perfect vacation in Tanzania
We had an amazing vacation in Tanzania. Everything went as planned, and every detailed handled well. Everything exceeded my expectations for one of the best trips of my life. The process was smooth and responsiveness was great. The people we met were all exceptionally nice and the services were top notch. We felt safe the entire way, and did not experience any problems.

Safari of a lifetime.
We used yellow zebra (Sam Horner) for a 10 year anniversary safari in Jan. We had 2 nights in Amboselli and 4 nights in the Mara North. All I can say is that, having never been to Africa before and also never using a travel company, this was the best experience we could've wished for. Everything was arranged, we were never alone in terms of travelling or at the airports etc and everyone was so friendly. The camps selected for us were spot on and had everything we wanted in terms of game drives and authenticity. 100% recommend yellow zebra for any safari trips!

Starting out great.
So far we have had allnof our questions answered and were comfortable with the experience/knowledge of the areas we want to visit. This is early on in our adventure hopefully the lodges and safaris matchbox experience to date.

A good experience with YZ
YZ just seemed to understand us, were flexible when things needed to be adjusted and gave us plenty of options to consider. We didn’t feel like they were trying to sell the most expensive product, as they looked for what would suit us best.
