About Us
Founded by passionate explorer Arnesto Robertson, Wake Up In Africa Safaris was born out of a deep love for Africa’s raw beauty, untamed wilderness, and diverse cultures. Based in the vibrant city of Pretoria, we offer unforgettable safari experiences that take you far beyond the ordinary. With every journey, we aim to connect travelers with the true spirit of Africa – its landscapes, wildlife, people, and stories.
At Wake Up In Africa Safaris, we specialize in curated safari tours that showcase the very best of Southern Africa. Whether you’re seeking the iconic Big Five, a scenic journey through rugged terrain, or cultural encounters in remote villages, our tours are designed to awaken your senses and leave lasting memories. Departing mainly from Johannesburg, we provide access to South Africa’s top game reserves, national parks, and hidden gems that only locals know.
Arnesto’s years of guiding experience and his commitment to personalized service ensure that every guest receives more than just a tour – they receive a true African adventure. He and his team of expert guides offer authentic, safe, and eco-conscious safaris that cater to both first-time visitors and seasoned travelers alike.
