About

Welcome To Pungwa Safaris

Who we are

Locally Grown, Passionately Run
Our company was born not from business ambitions, but from a calling. Our founder’s deep bond with the African wilderness inspired a vision: to share Africa’s magic through journeys that are both intimate and impactful.

 

We are Africans showcasing Africa — rooted in the land and fluent in its culture. Our stories are not learned; they are lived. This means every safari, cultural tour, and travel experience we design is genuine, thoughtfully curated, and delivered with heart.

 

Experts with a Lifelong Connection
Every member of the Pungwa Safaris team — from our travel planners to our safari guides — was born and raised in Africa. This is more than local knowledge; it’s lifelong immersion. Because we understand Africa intimately, we offer:

  • Deep storytelling and cultural sensitivity
  • Realtime knowledge of seasonal wildlife activity
  • Access to secret spots, sacred places, and quiet wonders
  • Smooth logistics, even in remote areas

Our guides don’t read from scripts — they tell their own stories, bringing each journey to life with soul and sincerity.
