What Our Travellers Have to Say

"Safari Craftsman has provided me and my family with three of the most impactful experiences in our lives. Safaris in South Africa and in Tanzania were stunning and awe-inspiring, and the Gorilla trekking in Rwanda was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.  All while feeling safe, secure, and luxurious!  Thank you, Chris and the Safari Craftsmen Team!"

Steve Mandy, MD | South Beach, Miami

"Safari Craftsmen created and curated an absolutely amazing family trip to Africa for us paying attention to the group as well as individual needs.  Each day of our trip, at least once, and usually several times, we were saved by the amazing Chris Renshaw and team.  If Africa feels unfamiliar to you, let Safari Craftsmen guide you to an unforgettable experience."

Matt Beuter and Family | Nashville, USA

"Luxury bespoke safaris take you to places that forever mark your memory. Why compromise the furthest potential of your trip by not engaging the most skilled, respected, pedigreed, and proven guide in sub-equatorial Africa? Chris Renshaw of Safari Craftsmen sees what others cannot, and that elevates everything."
