Ella McKendrick on safari in Botswana

Hi, I’m Ella!

I have a strong passion for wildlife and the natural world. This yearning to be surrounded by nature has led me to Africa, a continent that has truly stolen my heart.

So far I’ve travelled to 10 African countries and been on more safaris than I can count. On this website I aim to equip you with everything you need to plan your own African safari!
