As the world's leading ultra-luxe safari operator, every ROAR AFRICA safari is utterly unique and tailored to you and your loved ones, creating space to spend that precious, undisturbed time together as a family. We share with you the complexity, truth, beauty and culture that make up the fabric of Africa, so you can feel that sense of wonder and rich history too. Whether it's your first or fifth visit, the magnitude of Africa's wild spaces never ceases to educate, awaken and leave you and your children fully inspired, connected and in awe of all Africa has to offer.


Co-hosted by ROAR AFRICA Founder and CEO Deborah Calmeyer and UC Berkeley psychologist and best-selling author Professor Dacher Keltner, this singular journey invites you to explore awe not only as an emotion, but as a path to transformation, healing and connection.

Eleven generations on this continent have taught us that true understanding doesn’t come from passing through. It comes from presence. From quiet. From respect. At ROAR AFRICA, we don’t sell trips, we share the places we know by heart. Every detail is considered, every camp honors the land and every experience is crafted to give more than it takes. This is not just travel. It’s heritage. It’s home.

Our inaugural Women’s Empowerment Retreat saw Pat Mitchell (ROAR AFRICA Board member and creator of TEDWomen) and Deborah Calmeyer host a very special group of influential women along with an all-female team of pilots, trackers, guides, anti-poachers, chefs, hospitality leaders and conservationists.
