Where Time Finally Belongs to You
WE ARE
Only One Safaris
We were not always safari people. In fact, we were just like you—high-achieving professionals who heard about “safaris” and thought, “I’ve seen it already on TV, who needs to see it in the flesh.” Until one day, we tried it ourselves.
And everything changed.
It was not a vacation. It was a full-on reset. A mental, emotional, and spiritual shift. Something about the rhythm of nature, the stillness of the land, the way time stretches in the African wild—it reordered our perspective on everything.
Now, 20+ years later, we are the team behind Only One Safaris: A boutique, expert-led safari company founded by professionals who have lived and curated unforgettable African experiences since the early 2000s.

Safari Stories & Insights
The Winelands: Franschhoek vs. Stellenbosch
TL;DR – Franschhoek and Stellenbosch are both world-class wine destinations sitting 30 minutes from Cape Town and 20 minutes from each other. They look similar on a map but feel completely different on the ground. Here’s how to tell them apart, what each one does best, and how to fit both into a South Africa trip.
River Crossings 101: Timing is Everything
TL;DR – The Mara River crossing is one of the most dramatic wildlife events on earth. It’s also one of the most misunderstood. It doesn’t happen on a schedule, it can’t be predicted day-to-day, and most people who try to catch it on a short visit miss it entirely. Here’s how to actually be there when it happens.
Murchison Falls: The Power of the Nile
TL;DR – Murchison Falls is where the entire Nile River forces itself through a 7-meter gap in the rock and drops 43 meters into a churning pool below. The boat cruise to the base of the falls is one of Uganda’s defining experiences – and the park around it is one of East Africa’s most underrated safari destinations. Here’s what to expect.
Lower Zambezi: Canoeing with Hippos
TL;DR – A canoe safari on the Lower Zambezi puts you at water level, drifting silently past elephants, hippos, and crocodiles with nothing between you and the river. It’s one of Africa’s most immersive wildlife experiences – and yes, it’s safe when done properly. Here’s everything you need to know.
