Lydia and Tom Fernandes celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary in Nairobi

Wildlife Safari was founded by Tom Fernandes in Nairobi, Kenya, going on 50 years ago, and we owe our longevity on this ancient continent to sticking to a simple formula: safety, quality, value and service.

Over the years we’ve built our reputation on creating incredible itineraries for small groups of discerning travellers: people, who, like us, appreciate the majesty of Africa’s wild places, wildlife and wonderful people.

While our global reach has grown to service safari lovers from around the planet, we’ve remained true to our humble African roots: we’re still a family-owned and run business, and we’ve never compromised on what we stand for.

Similarly, we value our independence as an autonomous safari operator, and we ensure that we’re as up-to-date as we are objective by regularly visiting all the destinations we recommend. Despite our many years in the business, we’ve stayed curious about every aspect of safari, and we’re always seeking new experiences for our guests.

Wildlife Safari is now managed by Trevor Fernandes who continues the legacy his father created. Trevor also owns and operates Wildlife Safari Australia, a boutique safari wholesaler located in Perth; is a partner in Southern World, a provider of wide-ranging inbound services across the three major South Pacific destinations, Australia, New Zealand and Fiji; and is an investor in a number of African safari specialist businesses.

The Fernandes men!

Pinto: Blood on Western and Kenyan hands

BOOK REVIEW Pinto: Blood on Western and Kenyan hands Review by Cyprian Fernandes Pio Gama Pinto, Kenya’s Unsung Martyr 1927-1965 Edited by Shiraz Durrani [Vita Books, Kenya, 2018, 392 pp. Pbk, £30, ISBN 978-9966-1890-0-4; distributed worldwide by African Books Collective, www.africanbookscollective.com ] Less than two years after independence from the British, on 24 February 1965, the Kenyan nationalist Pio Gama Pinto was gunned down in the driveway of his Nairobi home. His young daughter watched helplessly in the back seat of the family car. Pinto, a Member of Parliament at the time, was Kenya’s first political martyr. One man was wrongly accused of his death, served several years in prison and was later released and compensated. Since then no one has been charged with the murder. Now the long-awaited book on Pio Gama Pinto is finally here, launched in Nairobi on 16 October 2018....

The sanctuaries trying to save birds of prey from extinction in Kenya

The sanctuaries trying to save birds of prey from extinction in Kenya (Courtesy of Al Jazeera) Poison, deforestation and power lines have pushed the African raptor population to a 90 per cent decline in the last 40 years. Raptor technician John Kyalo Mwanzia rehabilitates a juvenile fish eagle to flight after it was treated for grounding injuries sustained in a territorial fight at the Lake Naivasha habitat, at Soysambu Raptor Centre. [Tony Karumba/AFP] Simon Thomsett tentatively removes a pink bandage from the wing of an injured bateleur, a short-tailed eagle from the African savannah, where birds of prey are increasingly at risk of extinction. “There is still a long way to go before healing,” Thomsett explains as he lifts up the bird’s dark feathers and examines the injury. “It was injured in the Maasai Mara national park, but we don’t know how,” says the 62-year-old vet who runs the Soysambu Raptor Centre in central Kenya. The 18-month-old eagle, with a dist...
