Rewilding souls and enhancing lives,
while saving wildlife and wild spaces.

Welcome to ROAR AFRICA

Travel's ability to transform you is as important as its power to help others – the animals, the local communities, and the land. With this in mind, ROAR AFRICA designs every itinerary exclusively for you and using options carefully chosen for their impact on others. We create a safe and comfortable space for you to reconnect with yourself on your private learning journey. Through the simple and powerful act of traveling with us you will return home a different person and knowing that you have helped support and sustain fragile communities and extraordinary wild spaces that remain.

“We almost feel it was a dream.

We cannot put into words how fantastic our first time in South Africa and Botswana was. ROAR AFRICA’s curation, access, seamless execution and handheld service that lead to us never having to worry about a thing as well as ROAR AFRICA’s guides and their entire Africa-based team made this the most amazing and outstanding trip in our lives.”

About us

Eleven generations can't be wrong

Deborah's deep-rooted lineage goes back eleven generations to when her Huguenot ancestors first arrived on the shores of Cape Town in 1688. Africa is in her DNA. Her heritage allows for unparalleled access, incredible insights and the kind of on-the-ground knowledge only a local can have.

Our Vision

“If African women rise, wildlife will thrive”
