A Journey to Awe
This video is our invitation: to breathe slower, sleep deeper and remember who you truly are when the world quiets down and nature takes centre stage.
Created and led by Professor Dacher Keltner and Deborah Calmeyer, our 2026 Journey to Awe safari in the sacred foothills of Mount Kenya is a unique voyage back to self, one where science and Africa’s wilderness intersect in the most beautiful way, guiding guests toward the awe and meaning we all seek.
Join us on The Greatest Safari on Earth, 2027. This exquisite journey explores four of Africa’s iconic wildlife destinations - Zimbabwe, Botswana, Kenya and Rwanda - across 12 days in unbridled luxury aboard the A319 Emirates Executive Private Jet. Led by our hand-picked guides, there is no trip in the world like this one!
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.
