Your Safari Starts Here.

Hi! I’m Kellie, your friendly Canadian safari expert!

From hustling at an agency office job in Vancouver to leaving behind everything to travel the world, and now living in South Africa and organizing safaris for a living, safaris have truly changed my life. As cliché as it sounds, this experience will change yours too (maybe not to the point of moving your entire life to the other side of the world, but it will change it, I promise)!

Since my first African adventure in 2017 I have since made it my mission to be in the African wilderness as much as possible, from Rwanda to Uganda to Tanzania and Kenya, Botswana to Victoria Falls, Namibia to South Africa, and it is my mission with Adventurelust to inspire, invite, and empower you to experience the same magic of Mama Africa and her spectacular animals.

With so many incredibly diverse safari options to choose from, I will curate the ideal itinerary for YOU. I will be here all along the way to make your trip seamless, easy, safe, and MAGICAL for you, and I promise you will fall in love with safaris just like I have. I will take care of all the organization ensuring you are booked, packed, and prepared, so don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! Your dream safari awaits. ✨

Let’s get lost in the wild…

THE MAGIC OF SAFARIS

An incredible, intimate, authentic experience with the most fascinating wildlife on the planet in their natural habitat. Witness animals as they interact, hunt, and survive, in their most wild form, just as nature intended. You will be treated to the ultimate comfort and luxury under the renowned African hospitality, venturing out on two game drives a day, indulging in three delicious meals, enjoying coffee stops and sundowners in the bush under the care and expertise of your skilled and knowledgeable guides. Days will be spent relaxing in your beautiful suite or lounging poolside where the wildlife viewing never stops. There is no telling what you’ll see on safari — Mama Africa always has new surprises in store. ✨
