"Yellow Zebra are genuine specialists; they know the African bush like the back of their hand" - Brian Jackman, safari expert for the Sunday Times, The Telegraph, Conde Nast and the BBC.

We like to think our past clients are the greatest ambassadors of the way we work. If you would like to read about what they think of our company, we have well over 600 reviews linked here on the independent review site Trustpilot.

And finally, just in case you were wondering about our name... In the 1950's two German researchers - Michael and Bernhard Grzimek - were working in the heart of Tanzania's Serengeti National Park. By painting zebra yellow they succeeded in recording the Serengeti's wildebeest and zebra 'Great Migration' for the very first time. Their work resulted in the extension of the park boundary that protects the herds to this day.

Welcome to Yellow Zebra, the safari company that stands out from the herd.

Why Yellow Zebra

Safaris can often be expensive, once-in-a-lifetime trips – how can you be certain that the company you’re considering is a genuine expert when it comes to designing safaris? Below, our co-founders highlight a few points that are core to our values.

Our Specialists

We have always employed the very best specialists. It might sound somewhat cliché, but the key to our success has always been our staff. Today we have a team whose members are recognised as among the most experienced individuals in the industry. All of our specialists are either ex professional safari guides or camp managers, or people who were born and raised in Africa.

Our Operations Department

Since the birth of YZ, we’ve employed people from Africa’s best safari companies. And the people working behind the scenes are also highly experienced. They’ve worked for companies such as &Beyond, Londolozi, Wilderness Safaris, Robin Pope Safaris, Great Plains Conservation, Alex Walker’s Serian, The Bushcamp Company, and Selous Safari Company.

Keeping current!

We invest significantly in the training and progression of our safari specialists. They are guaranteed extensive trips to Africa every year. These trips are the best research safaris we’ve seen in the travel business, keeping us in touch with expert guides, wildlife movements, and any new properties or changes in the industry. So when you contact our team, you’re in touch with people who have recently visited the camps they are talking about and recommending to you.
