From childhood stories passed down by parents who loved this land, to years spent moving through wild places on our own terms, the path toward becoming craftsmen took form slowly, the way all things of real quality do.
What holds the team together is simple: a shared love for Africa, an insistence on honesty over hollow claims, a small team built with real care, and a considered idea of what comes next.
Safari Craftsmen began with founders who shared something deeper than an idea: a genuine love for Africa.
Founded by people drawn together by a shared love for safaris that feel honest, and conservation with responsibility.
A small group of travel planners, designers and craftsmen bring years of guiding and destination knowledge to every itinerary.
As the team grows, more craftsmen will join, focusing on relationships, guiding, and the execution of each journey.
Chris Renshaw is a co-founder of Safari Craftsmen, guided by one belief: a safari should be built around a family's story, not a set departuredate.

Every journey begins with a conversation, never with a printed brochure.
Never a set-departure or package operator, each itinerary is built from scratch.
Built on a close circle of trusted lodge, camp, and charter partners.
