About Tett Safaris

For more than 30 years, my passion has been to create exceptional, personalized safaris for my guests. Van Der Rohe noted “the devil is in the details” - a saying that never rang truer than in the planning and execution of a successful African safari.

A trip to Africa in 1989 ignited my calling, leading me to co-found a leading safari company in 1991. We quickly became known for our tailor-made itineraries and unparalleled service. We operated safari itineraries for prestigious organizations including Stanford Travel Study, California Academy of Sciences, American Museum of Natural History and National Geographic Expeditions and hosted over 11,000 guests across 33 African countries.

In 2019, I launched Tett Safaris to offer an even more personalized approach to the safari planning experience.

I work directly with my guests to design their dream safari, sharing my specialized knowledge of Africa's hidden gems in nine countries. Leveraging my thirty years of established connections with naturalist guides and vendors, I share exclusive access and unique experiences. Tett Safaris specializes in intimate camps and lodges, perfect for individuals, couples, and families. Concierge service is the foundation of our company.

Our guests play an active part in the conservation of this amazing natural resource by booking a safari with Tett Safaris.  We donate 10% of the profits of every safari to the Wilderness Wildlife Trust, a non-profit entity that focuses on three key areas:  Research & Conservation, Community Empowerment & Education and Anti-poaching & Management.

I look forward to working with you to create your own custom safari designed for an exclusive wildlife experience.
