Our senior team members have been with us for over a decade – ensuring a feeling of longevity and permanence. We meet online regularly, learning from each other and sharing stories of our latest adventures.
Innovative tech solutions
We utilise technology to make your role as easy and efficient as possible and we are always looking for innovative ways to craft the best safari experiences for our guests. We invest in the necessary tools and systems, allowing you to spend more time on what matters – crafting and managing safaris.
We are not just a travel company
We go way beyond crafting experiential safaris for our guests. Our conservation media division inspires and educates millions of people worldwide to contribute towards protecting Africa’s biodiversity and uplifting her rural people. And we generate donations for worthy grass-roots causes. These are at the core of everything we do. Our Manifesto says it all: About teamAG – Africa Geographic.
Another example of how deep we go is Ukuri, our partnership with African Parks to market safari camps and lodges that have tangible, measurable benefits for conservation and communities.
