Whether it is your first visit to Africa or your next wilderness adventure, few journeys generate as much excitement and wonder as going on safari.

SAFARIS WITH OCULUS TRAVEL

These journeys are long-imagined and precious, and deserve skillful planning. I bring together firsthand knowledge and a lifelong love of wild places to create safari experiences you will carry with you always.

LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR trip

The story behind Safari

A safari brings you into the present: open landscapes, stillness and the pleasure of never knowing what the day will bring.

It can be deeply luxurious or wonderfully remote, slow and restorative or focused on wildlife.

For some, the dream is elephants in golden light. For others, it is a beautiful lodge, privacy and exceptional service in the wilderness.

The right safari depends on knowing what matters to you, then choosing the places and people to match.

What every Oculus Safari includes

01

Personal Design

I begin with what matters to you, then shape the places, pace and experiences to fit this particular safari and the people on it.

02

Firsthand Knowledge

I travel extensively to assess lodges and camps myself, then pair what I see with the current knowledge of longstanding partners on the ground.

03

Journey Management

Once your safari is designed, I manage every detail with specialist partners on the ground, from light-aircraft connections to private vehicles and airport assistance.

04

Continuous Support

On safari, guides and camp teams look after you day and night, while I stay involved, ready to adjust plans with partners if needed.

Should I wait until my children are older before I take them on safari?
We're traveling as a family or a group. Can you design for that?
How early do I need to start planning?
What if the purpose of the trip goes beyond wildlife?
