Meet the team

The people behind your safari.

Two founders, a specialist team that travels the routes themselves, and a back-office crew that keeps the wheels turning at four in the morning when a flight schedule changes.

Founders

Started it in 2006. Still here.

Co-founder & CEO

Oliver Bryant

Oliver started the business in 2006 with a single Kruger booking site and a conviction that booking a safari should not be harder than the safari itself. Twenty years on, he still sets the editorial standard for the lodges and itineraries on the site, and personally reads a sample of every week's traveller feedback.

Co-founder & board member

Ric Meulemans

Ric co-founded the business with Oliver and remains on the board, with a focus on the operator partnerships and commercial agreements that underpin the same-as-direct pricing promise.

Supporting team

The crew behind the specialists.

Operations, finance, content, and engineering. The people you may not speak to directly, but who ensure every flight, transfer, lodge handover and supplier payment lands on time.
