Our Story

Hawthorn Safari

Incredible Safari Experience, Rooted in East Africa

At Hawthorn Safari, we believe a true African safari is more than a holiday — it’s a story that stays with you for life. With local roots across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Rwanda, our passionate guides and travel planners craft journeys that go beyond the ordinary.

From the golden plains of the Masai Mara and Serengeti to the misty jungles of Bwindi and Volcanoes National Park, we design safaris that connect you to the land, the wildlife, and the people who call East Africa home.

Unlike large international operators, we pride ourselves on being personal, flexible, and authentic. Every itinerary is hand-crafted, every detail cared for, and every guest welcomed as part of the Hawthorn family.

Whether you dream of witnessing the Great Wildebeest Migration, trekking through the forest for a face-to-face encounter with mountain gorillas, or relaxing on the shores of the Indian Ocean, Hawthorn Safari is here to guide you every step of the way.

Why Travel With Us?

Local Expertise – Based in East Africa with firsthand knowledge of every park, lodge, and hidden gem.
Trust & Transparency – Clear itineraries, honest pricing, and dedicated support from start to finish.
Authentic Adventures – Real encounters with wildlife, culture, and communities — not staged experiences.
