Invent Africa Safaris

Invent Africa Safaris An owner-managed travel company specialising in tailor-made safaris to Africa. We are dedicated to bringing a greater awareness about the wider wilderness.

Planning your safari with Invent Africa:
Because Africa offers so many exciting destinations and activity options to the prospective visitor, making the choices about where to go and what to do is often the most demanding part of your safari. And that’s where our experience and expert knowledge will assist you. It’s always a good idea to have something that becomes the focus of your planning – a wildlife event such as the Great Migration or one of the iconic parks that has sparked your interest for example. Or it may be a specific animal that you have always yearned to see running wild. And then we can match that with your date of travel and various other thrilling things to do within the region. And if it’s simply a general desire to visit the continent, we will work with you on ideas to create your safari of a lifetime.

UNEP notes that the wealthiest 10% of the global population are responsible for almost 50% of emissions. There are many ways individuals can help reduce their own carbon footprint: use less fossil-fuelled transport; decarbonise homes by installing solar power and choosing energy-efficient appliances; shift towards less carbon-intensive foods; buy locally where possible; and, more broadly, consume less across all aspects of daily life.

A VERY SPECIAL HONOUR
THE ROBERT GRAY MEDAL

We are incredibly proud to share that Ian Michler has been awarded the Robert Gray Medal — the highest and most prestigious honour that Diocesan College (Bishops) can bestow upon an Old Diocesan (OD).

The award recognises a significant and sustained contribution to society, embodying the values of courage, compassion, integrity and a willingness to stand for truth and justice.

Ian was recognised for his lifelong work in conservation — being a voice for wild species and their habitats, and for raising awareness of the sustainability challenges facing our natural world.

It is an especially meaningful recognition of Ian’s commitment over many years to protecting Africa’s wildlife and wild spaces, and to speaking up for the issues that affect their future.

Ian joins an exceptional group of previous Robert Gray Medal recipients, including Raymond Ackerman, Mark Shuttleworth, Prof. Haroon Bhorat and Prof. Tim Noakes.

A wonderful and well-deserved honour recognising a life dedicated to conservation, advocacy and making a difference.

Congratulations, Ian!

The African wild dog goes by various names, reflecting its widespread distribution across Africa, including open plains and sparse woodlands of Sub-Saharan Africa. The most common names for this species are painted dog, African spotted dog, painted wolf, and Cape hunting dog.

A safari is about more than the wildlife

It’s the silhouettes of wildebeest moving across the plains at sunset. The quiet power of lions resting beneath an acacia tree. And the communities who have called these landscapes home for generations.

Across Africa, people and wildlife share these extraordinary spaces. Local cultures, traditions and knowledge are deeply connected to the land and understanding that relationship is an important part of experiencing an African safari.

From a lioness quietly surveying her kingdom to a magnificent male lion walking into the African sunset, these are the moments waiting beyond the runway.

As your plane descends over Africa's wild landscapes, remember: the greatest stories are still ahead.

What incredible sight would you hope to see first on safari?

From the power of a lion to the gentle bond of an elephant family, these are the moments that remind us why every safari is so much more than a game drive

Africa isn't just a destination... it's a feeling
The sounds, the silence and the wildlife
Some moments don't need words

Some days in the bush, everything comes together.

The reward for time, patience, and being in the right place with the right guide.

At Invent Africa Safaris, we believe great guides don't just find wildlife.
They help you understand the circle of life unfolding around you.

Very sad news: Dr Gus Mills, renowned carnivore researcher across Southern Africa has passed away. I have such fond memories of the time spent with him in the Kruger and Kgalagadi. His legacy will live on. Condolences to Margie and the family.
