Hello and welcome to Safaria.
What we do and how we do it is based on one simple philosophy..."Celebrate everything that is right in the world, through nature".
It's the love of wildlife, the savanna, Kruger and people. Even the regular Kruger goer will tell you that we are like no other. Our Kruger Safari Experiences have been dreamed-up from wonder-filled stories that included ancient wisdoms, tales from before the Park opened and have been handed down over generations to Andrew who loves nothing more than to share them with his guests.
We don't like sausage machines or cookie cutters. We believe that everyones experience should be personal and unique.
Come on, time to take the journey with us and let us change the way that you experience the Kruger National Park.

Andrew Wagner
Andrews love for the bush started with his first trip to the Kruger National Park as a 3 year old boy and that was enough to influence his life dreams for ever. Having grown up on a farm and spending most of informative years in the bush, his Schooling and University would see him go on to enjoy a successful 16 years in the Corporate world with big brands like Mercedes-Benz, Barloworld and AVIS. After 16 years it was time to head of into the wilderness and pursue his true love - the African bush. Having relocated from Johannesburg to White River, next to the Kruger National Park, Safaria was birthed and the dream became a reality. Andrews personal touch is the special ingredient in Safaria. As a qualified FGASA Field Guide,Trails Guide and Regional Birder, its really his hunger for information and the manner in which he shares it that draws his clients in.
Andrew is currently busy with his Advanced Guiding and Tracker Qualification as well as being a Savanna Biome specialist within the Greater Kruger National Park.
