our story
From Australia to the African Bush
In 2007, our family went on the safari of a lifetime to East Africa. A year later, we uprooted our lives in Australia to convert an old family homestead into a safari lodge on the edge of Nairobi National Park. Bushtracker Safaris grew from that — starting at the family lodge, then slowly building out to the wild places we’ve come to know over 17 years on the ground.
