OUR PURSUIT OF AWE

We are a family led company with your unique safari experience at the heart of all that we do. From the first email to the final planning of your dream safari, we are always seeking ways to personalise your experience and make it unforgettable.

We love curating safaris as much as we love being on safari.

We have over 15 years of experience in the luxury safari industry. Our carefully cultivated relationships are with partners who share a purpose-driven approach, ensuring your safari leaves a lasting impact on the people, landscape and wildlife.
Elevate your safari experience by travelling with the founder of Soar Safaris. Explore Africa with ease, navigating through international airports and the diverse cultures of the continent. Simon is also a professional photographer, available to provide photographic tips and lessons, and to capture your vacation in a distinctive documentary style. Enhance your photography skills and take home lasting memories as keepsakes of your safari. An experience that is, we believe, unrivalled anywhere else in the world.
Few vacations offer better time together as a family.
The intimacy of small camp settings. A lack of distraction from the outside world. Exhilarating wildlife and ever-changing game drives. All elements that curate conversation and memories for a lifetime of reflection.

“I grew up in South Africa and some of my fondest childhood memories are of family vacations spent in The Kruger National Park. This early exposure has led to a life of pursuing wild spaces. As a full time safari guide I gleaned a deep knowledge of this special continent. My years spent at Londolozi Private Game Reserve and other world renowned lodges grew my understanding of wildlife, their behaviour and Africa’s abundance of destinations.

Every safari reveals more of Africa’s varied landscapes, captivating wildlife and her special people.

Soar has grown from a lifetime of safari; I now find great joy in sharing the feeling of safari with others.”

Simon Smit, Founder of Soar and specialist guide

Simon was the best guide we could’ve asked for in Cape Town—every day was an adventure, and he made it all so much fun. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, hilarious, and felt like part of the family by the end of our trip. We’ve continued to rely on him for safari planning and all things Africa, and he’s always there for us. Truly a one-of-a-kind guide and an even better person!
