Our Story

A Family's Love for East Africa

From a life-changing family safari to running our own lodge – sharing our passion for Kenya with travelers from around the world.

Our Journey

Moving to East Africa

In 2007, the Chapman family went on the safari of a lifetime to East Africa. Little did they know that just a year later, they would uproot their lives in Australia to purchase and convert an old family homestead into a safari lodge on the edge of Nairobi National Park, Kenya.

Over the years, the family has fallen in love with the people, culture, and wildlife of this beautiful continent. Safari Escapes is their way of sharing this passion with you, using travel as a force for good to have a positive impact on the people and environment that we hope to enjoy for generations to come.

Most safaris start and end at the family lodge, where you will then explore some of the most stunning wilderness areas that we have discovered over the last 17 years. We look forward to showing you around Ololo, sharing stories and welcoming you to this beautiful country!

Our Vision

Making Safari Booking Easy

We believe that booking a safari should be as exciting as the adventure itself – not a confusing maze of options, hidden costs, and endless emails. That's why we built Safari Escapes differently.

Our platform puts the power in your hands. We wanted to give guests the ability to make their own informed decisions – to see real prices, compare properties, and design their perfect itinerary. No pressure, no hidden surprises.

With transparent pricing, instant booking, and our team just a WhatsApp away when you need us, we've made it simple to plan the safari of your dreams while still getting the personalized service you deserve.

Transparency First

See exactly what you're paying for – no hidden fees, ever.

Jim Chapman

Director & Safari Specialist

"My fondest memories as an 8-year-old were running around Ololo barefoot, going on safari and chasing baboons with friends, quickly falling in love with the wildlife and people here! I think I knew from an early age that I would lead a life in the safari industry. Over the years, I've grown a passion (addiction?) to travel, and enjoy nothing more than welcoming guests to Africa and helping them explore my favourite places."
