Explore Africa With Boone & Paula
The Boone Story
Boone Safaris was born from a simple idea: sharing our love for Africa with the people we care about. What began as taking friends on safari grew into a passion for creating unforgettable journeys through the wild places we cherish most.
We call the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina home. The mountains ground us, and Africa inspires us.
Paula is the heart of every safari, ensuring guests feel welcomed, relaxed, and fully immersed in the experience, whether around the campfire or enjoying an unforgettable African sunset.
Boone brings years of guiding experience, wildlife knowledge, and professional photography expertise. As a certified guide and photographer, he shares insights into animal behavior, ecosystems, and photography while capturing the excitement of guests experiencing Africa for the first time.
Savannah joined our team this year. She holds a master's degree in Applied Professional Sciences and has worked as a field scientist, including with painted dogs in Zimbabwe. Her passion for Africa, its people, wildlife, and landscapes, is genuine and infectious.
Together, we create immersive, personal safaris that combine extraordinary wildlife encounters with meaningful connections and lasting memories.

What Our Clients Say
"More than two years ago, I shared a safari post with my parents, never imagining it would lead to the adventure of a lifetime. Together, we spent 17 unforgettable days exploring Kenya and Uganda, witnessing the Great Migration, tracking chimpanzees, encountering tree climbing lions, and spending precious time with a gorilla family in Bwindi. Every day felt like stepping into our own episode of Planet Earth. The wildlife, landscapes, and cultural experiences were extraordinary, but what made the journey truly special was sharing it with the people I love most. Boone Safaris made every detail seamless. From exceptional guides and beautiful boutique camps to outstanding hospitality, every moment exceeded our expectations. This was more than a vacation. It was a life changing experience. If you're dreaming of Africa, I cannot recommend Boone Safaris highly enough."
McKenzie Anderson - Nashville, TN
"Our safari with Boone Safaris exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived in Nairobi, every detail was flawlessly managed, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the experience. The accommodations were exceptional, with stunning views, outstanding service, and incredible cuisine throughout the journey. Every camp felt unique, comfortable, and welcoming. What truly made the trip unforgettable were the guides. Their deep knowledge of wildlife, passion for conservation, and willingness to share the rich culture and traditions of the Maasai people brought every moment to life. This was far more than a vacation. It was an immersive and transformative journey that left a lasting impression on our hearts. We cannot recommend Boone Safaris highly enough."
Jim Gay - Raleigh, NC
"All that you did and do on your safaris raises the experience to an exceptional level from the ones that Carol and I have taken before. Your detail and communication in the camp, your photographic help and observations, are attributes that no other tour company has ever offered or provided. Thanks for the experience!"
