Journeysmiths By Nature
In 1990, John Burdett and Warwick Hoffman - the original Journeysmiths - established Africa Exclusive. As a boutique safari specialist, they delighted in designing bespoke itineraries for clients to discover the extraordinary wildness and beauty of Africa.

Today our team of Journeysmiths arranges the finest possible holidays to amazing places across Africa, Asia, Latin America, Antarctica and Australasia. We are also passionate about working alongside local communities to conserve the planet’s precious wildlife and fragile habitats for future generations.
Our Heritage
Like mankind, Journeysmiths roots are in Africa. Expanding first into Latin America, then Asia and the Polar regions. Today our knowledgeable and passionate team craft exceptional trips to over 50 countries around the world, while helping to protect the often fragile environments in which we work.Like mankind, Journeysmiths roots are in Africa.
