Our focus is on delivering exceptional quality and unforgettable experiences, whether your itinerary is elegantly simple or ultra-luxurious. We book directly with our trusted partners so we can deliver better value and maintain complete control over your journey. Every property we recommend has been personally vetted by our team and held to the highest standards of comfort, guiding, wildlife, cuisine, and ethics. True value comes from the depth of your experience—and our clients’ accolades say it best.

Founder Cherri Briggs spends much of each year on the ground in Africa, constantly refining and discovering the continent’s finest experiences. Our team travels regularly as well, bringing decades of firsthand knowledge. EXPLORE has been a U.S.-based African safari specialist since 1992, intentionally boutique so every journey receives personal attention and expertise.

You’ll have access to our 24/7 emergency line from the moment your travels begin. Before you depart, we also provide a detailed contact list for every lodge, camp, and service provider. We strongly recommend travel insurance to ensure you’re fully protected from the unexpected.

When you travel with EXPLORE, you’re already supporting meaningful conservation initiatives and uplifting local communities. Our hand-selected safari partners share our commitment to protecting Africa’s cultures, wildlife, and landscapes, and your journey helps fund these efforts across the continent.

Yes. A portion of your trip cost directly supports our philanthropic program, Direct Impact Africa, which strengthens communities in Southern Zambia. If you’d like to deepen your understanding of how tourism drives conservation, your EXPLORE specialist will be happy to share more.
