"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - unknown author
Why I Started Boone Safaris
I grew up being enthralled by Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom and movies like Out of Africa and Born Free. I dreamed of going to Africa. However, it never seemed realistic. I thought it was too expensive and too far to travel. The timing was never right. Eight years ago, I stopped dreaming about going and booked a safari. It was better than I imagined. Pictures and movies cannot convey the actual experience.
It was emotional seeing lions in the wild for the first time and gazing over the endless plains covered in wildebeests. But Africa has even more to offer than its amazing animals. I have a strong desire to share the experience with my friends and their friends. I want to take away the fear some have for traveling so far away. This is why I started Boone Safaris. This is my passion. After years working for a big corporation and running my own recruiting firm, it's time to follow my heart and do what I love. I want to take you along on my journey!

“We have always prioritized travel in our lives to experience as much of this world as we can. Botswana marked the 50th country that we have traveled to together. Our two trips with Boone Safaris, to the Maasai Mara and Botswana, have been our favorite two adventures by far. If you want to really see the natural beauty of Africa and have a great safari experience, join one of Boone’s excursions. It will be the trip of your lifetime too.“ —Grant & Louann, Maasai Mara 2021, Best of Botswana 2023
