About

Thinking of going on a African wildlife journey, guided by a passionate guide who knows Africa. Eugene Safaris specialises in tailor-made African Safaris, featuring exceptional wildife trips from Southern and East Africa. Let me create the perfect tailor-made safari for you, personalised to match your pace and interests.

Long before wildlife tourism became what it is today, safaris were about observation, patience, and time spent learning the rhythms of the land.

That philosophy still guides every journey I design. Whether in Kruger National Park or further afield in Southern and East Africa, each safari is tailored to the traveller, not a schedule.

I guide slowly, with intention — allowing space for silence, for questions, and for those moments that can’t be planned.
