the true Africa
with those who know it.

20 years of life in Africa

Authentic safaris, between pure emotion and pristine nature

Born and raised in Milan, my passion for nature and animals has been with me since I was a child. I've held various jobs, but none of them were satisfying enough, so why not follow my passion and fly to Africa?

No sooner said than done! I dropped everything and, although my limited English knowledge worried me, I headed to South Africa to attend the accredited safari guide course.

South Africa and Namibia were the first countries where I had the privilege of starting to work, followed by further field experiences in Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia and finally Tanzania and Kenya.

Even after many years, my passion remains alive.
Every day, Africa teaches me something new and never ceases to excite me as if it were the first time. Africa and I are waiting for you, but be warned, it could be addictive.

Immerse yourself in the real Africa and discover your next trip.

Every itinerary I create stems from the desire to offer you an authentic journey, far removed from tourist clichés, respectful of the environment, animals, and above all, local cultures. I work only with local guides, sustainable accommodations, and communities that share my values: no fabricated safaris, just genuine, ethical, and intense experiences.

Whether you dream of the savannah, the desert, or villages brimming with stories, together we can design a tailor-made itinerary that will lead you to discover Africa on tiptoe, with open eyes and an open heart.

Sam loves Africa...and the feeling seems to be mutual! When passion, expertise, and experience come together, the result is a journey of discovery that engages and excites. A well-structured itinerary, top-quality accommodations (both lodges and tented camps) located in central locations for the safari tour. A comfortable vehicle provides everything you need to make the most of the experience, and a knowledgeable local guide who is always attentive to the client's needs, smiling, friendly, and welcoming as the natives know how. And beyond the logistics, there's Africa...with its explosive nature, its boundless landscapes where the eye gets lost in visions of real and almost dreamlike animals. Skies tinged with clouds mixed with tree branches, which, like upside-down roots, twist their arms in a dance between sun and wind... It's hard to imagine stopping at just one experience! There's so much to discover and explore, and this small but thoughtful tour operator has proven to be a wonderful way to begin...and then let Africa belong to all of us...thanks Sam!

If you're planning a safari, Samuele is the right person! He perfectly organized our three days in Kruger National Park, finding us accommodation at Olifants Rest Camp and booking the ranger excursions. He was always available, precise, and full of helpful advice, allowing us to enjoy the experience without worries and to savor every moment. The organization was impeccable, and the stay at Olifants, with the guided safaris, was one of the most beautiful memories of our trip...our three little ones will cherish it. Thank you, Samuele, for turning three simple days in Kruger into an unforgettable adventure. If we return to South Africa, we already know who we'll trust!

We relied on Sam for our beautiful trip to Tanzania, and everything was fabulous! We were initially unsure about where to go, but Sam made himself available for a phone chat that immediately cleared our minds! We'll definitely be using him again for other trips to Africa! 😊
