Ella McKendrick on safari with an Elephant in the background in Serengeti, Tanzania

Hi, I'm Ella! I'm based in the UK and I'm passionate about safaris!

I go on safari 4 times per year to locations including Tanzania, Kenya, Botswana, South Africa, Rwanda, Uganda and India.

I help people book their dream safaris - you can request free safari quotes from the local safari companies I use myself and you'll receive help and support from me throughout the whole process.

I also make safari YouTube documentaries for my 290,000 followers which received up to a million views per video.
