Hi Everyone!
My name is Kate and im the founder of BornWild
I founded BornWild through my love for unconventional adventures, global exploration and my commitment to supporting wild animal and lion conservation. I fell in love with Tanzania over a decade ago, when I first visited this magical country. The magnificent wild animals, mesmerising landscapes and kind-hearted locals, truly captured my heart.
Travel isn’t just a part of my life, its a way of life. Tanzania continuously inspires me from the animals that roam freely to such incredible landscapes. The country envelopes me within its beauty and makes me feel like I’m standing on the edge of the world, gazing into pure serenity.
Creating safaris has been a dream of mine from the start and I enjoy every second of tailoring adventures to the moment our travelers return home. I love accomplishing happy expriences for people that stay with them a lifetime. Whether you are traveling luxuriously or authentically, I put my all into every safari hoping that you feel the same sense of escapism and inspiration that I feel. If the magic of Tanzania encompasses you and feel connected to its charm as much as I do, then I consider my work a success.
Discover an African Safari with a unique perspective. We have developed one of the most extraordinary experiences that bridges Lion Conservation with adventure travel. AFRICAN LION SAFARI
