African Experiences

Explore Africa with Lois: Your Expert Safari Guide

For over 40 incredible years, Lois has been turning the dream of Africa into unforgettable reality—leading 24 safaris herself and planning dozens more tailored for her clients. Her deep love of the continent shines through every journey, from the sweeping savannahs of Kenya and Tanzania to the lush jungles of Rwanda and Uganda, and the dramatic landscapes of South Africa, Botswana, and Zimbabwe.

Imagine the thrill of waking to the sounds of the wild, setting out in a sturdy 4x4 across endless horizons dotted with acacia trees. Each day brings exhilarating encounters: herds of elephants ambling majestically, graceful giraffes nibbling treetops, prides of lions lounging in the golden grass, and elusive leopards slipping silently through the bush. You’ll share in the awe of watching these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat—a moving reminder of nature’s raw beauty and power.

One of the quintessential safari experiences that Lois cherishes is the sundowner—the perfect pause at day's end to sip a cool drink under a sky painted with fiery oranges and pinks. As the African sun dips low, the landscape bursts into life with sounds and scents that stir the soul, a magical moment to reflect and connect with the spirit of the wild.

But a safari with Lois is never just about the wildlife. It’s also about the warmth of Africa’s people—their friendliness, rich cultures, and timeless traditions. You’ll enjoy encounters that open a window into local life, adding depth and meaning to your adventure.

Lois ensures that your stay is as comfortable as it is authentic, with carefully selected high-quality camps and lodges that blend seamlessly into the landscape. Expect elegant tents with cozy beds, private verandas, and delicious local cuisine served beneath starlit skies. Transportation is thoughtfully arranged, from open-air safari vehicles that offer panoramic views to light aircraft that whisk you across breathtaking terrain, maximizing your time in this spectacular part of the world.

One unforgettable highlight? Walking alongside the rare mountain gorillas in Rwanda—an intimate and humbling experience few ever have the chance to share.

With Lois at the helm, your African safari becomes far more than a trip—it’s a journey of discovery, wonder, and connection to one of the most extraordinary places on Earth. Ready to explore Africa through the eyes of someone who’s been captivated for over four decades? Let Lois guide you on the adventure of a lifetime.

I will be publishing a series of blogs over the next few months on Africa, to include:  Morocco, Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana.
