WHY BUSHTRACKS?
SIX GENERATIONS OF AFRICAN HERITAGE
Founded by David and Nicholas Tett in 1989, Bushtracks Expeditions is built on six generations of deep African roots, offering more than just safaris—each adventure is a truly authentic and immersive experience crafted by insiders who know Africa intimately.
In 2021, Bushtracks Expeditions merged with brother Christopher Tett’s company, Bushtracks Africa, a powerhouse team with 150 staff on the ground in Africa, and a fleet of safari vehicles, rivercraft, and luxury vintage steam trains, which truly distinguishes Bushtracks from other safari companies.
When you travel with us you’re not just seeing Africa—you’re experiencing it through the eyes of those who have lived and breathed its magic for generations. You’ll meet passionate hosts, skilled guides, and vibrant personalities who share a love for its wildlife and wild lands, and who are committed to preserving the essence of Africa’s wilderness.
