What makes the difference when you book with us.
What motivates you to travel is deeply personal, at Gecko Safaris we understand that. Our purpose to create meaningful travel experiences comes from getting to know you and how you want to see African destinations.

Your trip will be financially protected, and we keep up to date with all the latest government travel advice. You have the flexibility to change your plans ahead of your trip, if needed. Your specialist will always be on hand, aided by our invaluable local partners, while you’re away.
Local Knowledge
Our specialists at Gecko Safaris know their destinations inside out. They’ll help you see the main attractions in an alternative light and introduce you to places others might miss. Practically, they understand how things run and we pay attention to all the small details for our clients.
Handpicked accommodation, guides and experiences
We go further than any local tour operator to find the experiences you want to have. Our specialists share recommendations that they’ve tried and tested and can vouch for themselves. If you want reassurance for how to travel safely, they’ll have the answers. We don’t book accommodations before experience them and we know the best rooms and the best view of each lodge in our recommended destinations.
