Experiencing Africa, Respectfully
At Hippy Safaris, we believe in the power of travel to inspire, connect, and transform. We're passionate about sharing the beauty of Africa with the world, while treading lightly and respecting the incredible landscapes and cultures we encounter.
Our Story
Hippy Safaris was born from a simple idea: to create a travel company that prioritizes both adventure and responsibility. Co-founded by former professional rugby player Malcolm Onsando and Kenyan creative storyteller Carlos Lawson, our story blends a love for Africa’s wild beauty with the art of storytelling. Together, we set out to reimagine safaris as journeys that not only move travelers, but also uplift the people and communities who make them possible.
