Why choose Yellow Zebra?

“At ‘YZ’ you’ll find we do things a little differently. Your safari will be designed for you by professional safari guides, managers from some of Africa’s finest safari camps, and people who were born and raised in Africa. No ready-made tours or set departures. Their experience guarantees a very high level of safari design; we don’t know of another company that can say the same.”

Julian Carter-Manning, Co

All our safari specialists are professional safari guides, camp managers, or people who were born and raised in Africa.

This level of expertise is what makes us unique and guarantees the best safari design. It ensures your trip goes flawlessly while you are away.

We’ve been named Europe’s Leading Safari Company at the World Travel Awards for six years in a row.

The WTAs have been described by The Wall Street Journal as the Oscars of the Travel Industry, and we’re particularly proud of this award due to the fact that it's voted for not only by the public, but also by the travel industry.

Your safety is taken incredibly seriously at YZ.

We have a 24/7 emergency line that’s manned by our most experienced staff members. Additionally, an independent company performs internationally recognised health and safety checks on all the properties we sell.

We’re the only company we know that employs a highly experienced national parks doctor - our Chief Medical Officer - to be on call for our clients.

We pride ourselves on being a leader in tailormade safari design. We sell no ‘off-the-shelf’ packaged tours.

Our consultants are highly experienced; nobody works off commission. Being truly independent is core to the way we work.

Both a conservation focus and a sustainable approach to safari tour operating are very important at YZ.

We’ll always treat the environment and the communities you visit with the respect they deserve. We work with a number of projects across Africa, from anti-poaching dog patrols and rescued elephants to inner-city disadvantaged children.
