Hello, my name is Angela Booth, and along with my amazing husband, Kim, I’m delighted to welcome you to our website.

I’d love to share the story of how our love affair with Africa began—and how it has grown over the last quarter of a century.

I was that kid who devoured every book and documentary on African wildlife I could get my hands on. I spent hours studying the wildlife photographs in National Geographic, dreaming of one day capturing images like those myself. I loved photography from a young age—it was a hobby that slowly grew into something more, including a small side business photographing my grooming clients dogs to help pay the bills.

Kim’s path was similar but rooted in a family tradition. He grew up in a “dog show family,” with terriers, traveling to shows, and a grandfather who became a respected judge worldwide. By chance, Kim’s father—an avid photographer—began taking win photos at the shows, eventually building a thriving business. After leaving the Air Force, Kim joined him, and later carried the business forward after his father passed away.

When Kim and I met in the mid-90s, our lives quickly intertwined—personally and professionally. One late night, after a long stretch of dog shows, we were processing film and trying desperately to stay awake. To pass the time, we started talking about our “dream vacation.”

If money, time, and difficulty were no object, what would we choose?

We both said the same thing:

A photo safari in Africa.

At the time, it felt impossibly out of reach. But we started researching anyway, and several months later, in December 1999, we found ourselves landing in Kenya for our very first safari.

And everything changed.

Visiting Africa is an awe-inspiring experience—like stepping back in time. Yes, the wildlife is breathtaking, but our deep love of Africa isn’t rooted in the animals alone. It’s the people, the land, the culture, the stories, and the sense of connection that affects you in ways you don’t expect.

I fell in love with the beautiful chaos of places like Arusha, where past, present, and future meet on every corner. Kim has a soft spot for the blend of culture and wild spaces found in Cape Town and Stellenbosch. And everywhere we go, we find the same thing: people who love their countries deeply and are eager to share their lives with anyone willing to listen with respect.

Those conversations—those shared human moments—are some of the greatest treasures our safaris have given us.

I cried when we landed in Kenya that first time, overwhelmed by the joy of finally arriving. And just seven days later, as our small plane lifted off from the dirt airstrip in the Maasai Mara, I cried again—this time because I couldn’t believe the once-in-a-lifetime dream was already ending.

I truly thought we would never return.

But Africa has a way of calling you back.

We found ourselves headed to Tanzania for a ten-day adventure that became a defining chapter of our lives—a trip filled with unforgettable experiences (and misadventures!) that ultimately led us to create our own safari-focused travel company decades later!

Little did we know that those early days would set us on a journey that has now spanned more than two decades, filled with incredible wildlife sightings, lifelong friendships, and a mission to help others experience the magic that changed our lives forever.
