Solaris Expeditions is one of North America’s premier African Safari & travel companies. We specialize in meticulously planned custom itineraries that reflect our deep passion for one of the world’s most compelling destinations. Our tailor-made approach allows us to craft exceptional Africa sojourns, not only for first-time visitors but also veteran Africa-hands seeking fresh and innovative experiences. We have spent years forging partnerships and friendships with the best Safari outfitters and guides on the continent, as well as with the management of the finest hotels and guest houses. As a result, our clients are always warmly welcomed and are in the very best of hands wherever they travel.

Complex logistics and multi-country safaris are a forte of ours. We’ve designed incredibly involved trips employing private aircraft, the services of legendary private safari guides, exclusive use of camps and lodges and very deep budgets. We’ve also worked wonders putting together dream safaris on short notice and creating customized experiences of a lifetime for clients working with high expectations but limited budgets. Our clients come in all shapes and sizes: from friends or individual travelers hungry for a pure wilderness experience; to honeymooners and couples celebrating an anniversary who want to embrace the romance of Africa; to families seeking child-friendly adventures; and to hardcore photographers seeking that perfect leopard shot. The common thread that unites them all is their great excitement about visiting Africa – it really is a magical place that transforms lives and lifts the spirit.

Africa is an incredibly broad canvas. There are so many brilliant places to go, things to see and places to stay. There are dozens of camps and lodges that we feel offer superb experiences. All of them provide world-class guiding and interpretation of the environment, keep at the cutting edge of low-impact eco-tourism, are completely dedicated to sustainable tourism and wildlife conservation, and support local community development. Our job is to provide you with expert advice and insight and to navigate through the plethora of options in order to craft a trip that meets your aspirations and fits your budget. Your agenda is our agenda – always.

When we set out to build our network of relationships in Africa, our goal was simple: go right to the head of the class. To be sure, there are a lot of good companies to work with on the continent. Good simply wasn’t good enough for us – we built relationships with the very best. As a result, no matter where our clients are traveling in Africa, they are always in the best of hands and have peace of mind knowing that we provide 24/7 support each step of the way. Africa can be a challenging place to travel; Solaris Expeditions and our partners in Africa appreciate this fact and always keep the safety and security of our clients as our top priority.

To do our job as well as we do, we spend a lot of time in Africa. And it’s always a total pleasure to do so. We spend at least a month a year on safari, experiencing things just as our clients do, checking in with old friends in the industry, building new relationships, getting deep into remote corners of the continent and revisiting places of perennial interest, such as Cape Town, the Serengeti, the Greater Kruger National Park, or Botswana’s Okavango Delta.

Let us translate the knowledge gained from those efforts into a once-in-a-lifetime trip for you. Ours is a small, specialty travel business, all about personalized service. We love to talk African travel and welcome your call.
