Our Story
About Hemingways Safaris

Built on Experience, Defined by Independence

Hemingways Safaris was founded with a clear purpose: to provide independent, expert-led safari planning across East Africa, free from commercial influence and aligned entirely with the needs of advisors and their clients.

Our team is built on deep regional knowledge, years of hands-on experience, and a commitment to thoughtful, reliable service. We work across Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Uganda, offering unbiased guidance and seamless coordination throughout every journey.

Independence defines how we operate. We maintain relationships with leading properties across the region but remain supplier-neutral, ensuring every recommendation is made in the best interest of each client.

This approach creates clarity, trust, and confidence – values that matter most when delivering complex, high-value travel across multiple countries and diverse landscapes.
