About Cedarberg Africa
Cedarberg Africa designs imaginative, personal African safaris and holidays for discerning travellers who want more than a beautiful itinerary. They want the right one.
For over 30 years, our experienced safari designers have combined first-hand Africa knowledge, candid advice and careful listening to shape trips around each client’s pace, interests, family dynamics and sense of adventure. Independent, owner-led and deeply connected in Africa, we help you choose wisely, travel confidently and enjoy a safari that feels considered from first conversation to final detail.
The safari you’d plan, if you knew Africa like we do
You want your safari to feel extraordinary, personal and worth every moment.
Not off-the-shelf. Not over-planned. And certainly not like everyone else’s. You want the right regions, the right pace, the right lodges and the right style of travel for you. You also want the quiet confidence that your time and money are being well spent.
But where do you start?
From Confusion to Clarity
There are so many wonderful safari destinations, lodges and experiences that planning a trip can quickly become overwhelming.
Which country? Which season? Which lodge? How long should you stay? What is worth the splurge. And what simply looks good online?
A trip can look wonderful on paper, yet still feel too rushed, too generic, or not quite right for the way you like to travel. The risk is not simply choosing a “bad” safari lodge. It is choosing the wrong destination β for you. Or travelling at the wrong pace, visiting in the wrong season, or missing the small details that would have made the trip feel truly special.
This is where Cedarberg Africa comes in
For over 30 years, we’ve helped couples, families and curious travellers turn the many possibilities into safaris that feel personal, seamless and deeply rewarding. We listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and use our first-hand knowledge to cut through the maze of options.
We’ll tell you when a route is too rushed, when a lodge may not suit you, when a season is not ideal, or when a different option will give you a better experience. Our role is not simply to book what you ask for. It is to help you shape the safari that’s genuinely right for you.
How we work with you
The process is simple.
You tell us what matters to you: the wildlife you hope to see, the pace you prefer, the level of comfort you enjoy, the people you are travelling with, and the kind of memories you want to bring home.
We design and refine your safari with you, drawing on decades of Africa expertise, trusted supplier relationships and regular first-hand travel. Then we bring everything together in a clear, thoughtful itinerary, with the detail and support you need to travel with confidence.
The result is a safari that feels carefully considered, not simply assembled. You arrive excited, prepared and reassured, knowing your trip has been shaped by people who know Africa well. And who’ve taken the time to understand YOU.
“The service that Cedarberg provided for us was outstanding. The itinerary that they put together worked seamlessly, all the pick ups were as they had stated and whenever we had a query about any aspect of the trip they came back to us quickly and provided all the information that we needed. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”

Independent, owner-led and still personal
Cedarberg Africa was founded in 1995 and remains independent, owner-led and deeply personal in the way we work.
We are not a global travel brand with Africa as one department, or a lodge company steering you towards our own properties.We are impartial Africa specialists, and our recommendations are guided by what suits you best.
Our team is made up of experienced safari designers, not junior booking agents. We know the lodges, routes, seasons, guides and practical details that can make the difference between a good safari and an exceptional one. Just as importantly, we know when to slow a trip down, when to simplify, and where your budget will make the greatest difference.
Travel that feels good in every sense
A well-designed safari should be rewarding for you, and beneficial to the people, wildlife and wild places you have come to experience.
That is why we favour partners who care about conservation, community and the long-term future of Africa’s wild areas. We believe thoughtful travel, planned well, can help support the very landscapes and local communities that make a safari so powerful.
