Meet our Award Winning Team
Meet the experts behind your luxury safari adventure
Introducing the powerhouse behind your bucket list safari adventures.
Here, you’ll meet the dreamers, storytellers, guides, organizers, and tiny adventurers who make Luna Safari what we are. More than just a team – we’re a family and every safari we share has a piece of our hearts.
From the very first footprints we made in the bush to the countless sunrises we’ve watched over golden plains, our journeys have always been about connection: to the land, to the wildlife, and to the people who trust us with their most cherished adventures.
The family behind the safari
We believe a safari is not just about spotting the “Big Five” it’s about the tiny, magical moments that make your heart skip a beat.
Each member of our team brings a piece of their own soul and spirit to the adventure.
Some of us have grown up with the bush, some have been drawn to it by stories and starlit skies, and some of us – like our littlest explorers Arlo & Milo are just beginning their own adventures.
Our Safari Team
Highly experienced and infinitely kind, our guides are hand-picked for their knowledge, intuition and warmth. The ones who transform every beautiful safari into a deeply personal journey.
Attentive, instinctive, and quietly enchanting, they notice the little wonders that make every day unforgettable.
Our team are the gentle heartbeat guiding every moment, every adventure and every truly special memory as its magically brought to life.
