Our Story
We started Boone Safaris to share our love of Africa with our friends (current and those we've yet to meet). We've been married 34 years and recently moved to the mountains near Blowing Rock, North Carolina. Our mailing address is Boone, NC. Yes, Boone moved to Boone. Paula retired from teaching and Boone closed his executive search business to be a full time safari guide and wildlife photographer. When hosting safaris, Paula is in charge of fun. She leads dance parties around the bonfire after dinner. Boone is a morning person and likes to go to bed before the dance party. He will share his knowledge of the wildlife and photography and take lots of pictures of guests enjoying their safari. But don't expect any pictures taken after 9 pm.
