Our Story

Safari King Africa, Crafted from Experience

Anicet Philip guiding guests in Tanzania

Safari King Africa was born when Anicet Philip swapped lodge management and guiding for icons like Singita and andBeyond with a desire to design journeys that feel handcrafted for every guest. Two decades later, we remain proudly Tanzanian-owned, orchestrating safaris that balance headline wildlife moments with the quieter threads that reveal the country’s soul.

Operating from Arusha and Dar es Salaam, our on-the-ground specialists build seamless itineraries that move at your rhythm—whether you crave sunrise game drives, cultural storytelling with Maasai hosts, or evenings spent under canvas in the bush.

  • Founder-led insight shaped by 20+ years across Tanzania’s national parks and conservation areas.
  • Trusted relationships with camp owners, pilots, and artisans to unlock authentic, low-footprint experiences.
  • Dedicated local support before, during, and after your journey for absolute peace of mind.
