In the early days of safari, the spirit of exploration was central and the journey was far, out into the broad savanna with all its beasts. Today, we maintain this essence: wild, free and inspiring. Mark Thornton Safaris is an experienced team of widely respected, veteran safari guides. If you are going to walk across the Serengeti, you want a guide you can trust.

We outfit only a limited number of safaris each year, as our focus is on quality over quantity. 80% of our business is word of mouth with over 50% of our guests returning again, many becoming good friends through the years. Whether it's a walking, luxury or family safari, your trip is always private – your own expert guides, private vehicles and exclusive camps. This is the true authentic safari.
