Our Story

"Where Family Passion Meets Safari Expertise"

Steenhuisen Family Safari2

Thank you for your interest in booking a safari with us. We are the Steenhuisens.

SAFARI FRANK was born from our family’s lifelong passion for African wilderness. Johan, Welna, and their children Frank and Karin all have safari in their blood. Waking up to a fully grown male lion roaring underneath our rooftop tent, a baboon kitchen-raid right before the in-laws came to stay, or bedtime stories told around the campfire somewhere in the middle of the Kalahari Desert are only some of the memories that ignited our desire to craft safaris for others.

SAFARI FRANK co-founder and name giver Frank’s passion for Africa’s wilderness was kindled in childhood. From a young age, Frank spent countless hours perched on the tracker seat of the family’s game viewer, eyes peeled for elusive leopards. These formative experiences in the Greater Kruger National Park shaped his enduring love for Africa’s wild places and wildlife, which is shared by the entire family – including his wife Gesa, whom he met – naturally, on safari.

A team of safari-lovers.

What began as a family’s enthusiasm for sharing Africa’s wonders with friends has organically grown over the past decade. Today, SAFARI FRANK is home to a team of seasoned experts whose deep appreciation for “Safari Africa” mirrors our own. Our dedicated safari planners continuously explore the continent, uncovering hidden treasures and revisiting cherished locations to ensure we offer the most authentic experiences.

Every safari we design reflects our deep-rooted passion, carefully curated to showcase the very best of the African bush. From exhilarating wildlife tracking to tranquil evenings around campfires or luxury stays in the best lodges on the continent, each element contributes to an unforgettable adventure.

We are conservationists.

We design every safari not only to thrill you with the grandeur of Africa’s wilderness but to foster a deeper understanding and respect for the people and ecosystems you will explore.

We truly believe that a safari changes you for good.

We’ve experienced it firsthand – getting out in the wild brings people closer to each other and to nature. That’s because there’s a bit of wild in all of us, and a safari brings it out. When it does, we naturally want to keep that wildness safe – in the world and in ourselves. Your choice to travel with SAFARI FRANK supports our mission to champion the wilds of Africa through education and conservation. We hope your journey instils in you the same love for African wildlife that inspired us to start this company.

At SAFARI FRANK, we’re in the business of making travel dreams come true, one meticulously planned safari at a time. Why not tell us about yours?
