you, designed by us

For you, and for the love of Africa

Welcome to Bonamy, and welcome to our website. We are thrilled to be the first step in your journey to discovering the wonders of Africa. Feel free to explore every nook and cranny of our site that we hope will inspire and educate you on this continent which we hold so close to our hearts.

Bonamy was born from a deep love and respect for Africa, so you know that when you travel with us, you’re contributing to the preservation of Africa's natural wilderness and supporting its vibrant communities. 

Our commitment to regenerative tourism and uncompromised standards means we only work with suppliers who support local economies and have sustainability practices in place to protect Africa's precious ecosystems.

Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a safari connoisseur, you can trust us to be a reliable friend by your side. After all, that is what ‘bonamy’ means (sort of, if you spell it the French way ‘bon ami’)!

Let the adventure begin.
