Southern Africa · For Women, With Women
We invite you to join a community of women explorers who care about connection, culture, and conservation.
Safari Sisters is a newly launched women-only brand under The Eco Travel Boutique - and was formed by women — for women. We design intimate group journeys across Southern Africa for women who travel with curiosity and conscience. From Big Five safaris in the Greater Kruger to sunrise yoga in Zambia, from culinary and wellness in Cape Town to wild encounters during a mobile safari in Botswana — every itinerary is designed with a unique theme and experiences in mind.
We travel slowly. We stop to listen often. And wherever we go, we walk alongside the women who call this continent home.
We believe that every journey should not only be a unique experience for the traveller, but also leave the destination better than how we found it. In addition to a unique focus and highlight for you on each tour, our mission is to connect with local women and support their work — their enterprises, their cooperatives, and the projects they've quietly been building for years in Southern and Eastern Africa.
Too often, the economic benefits of travel bypass the very communities that make a destination worth visiting. By connecting with local women and contributing to their projects, we ensure that your safari is not just an adventure, but makes a meaningful contribution to the preservation of our natural heritage and communities.

Zambia · Zambia is a country that is still authentically Africa; vast landscapes, uncrowded, and the place where the walking safari was invented. Begin your journey on the Zambezi River at Tongabezi lodge, with Victoria Falls from both sides and sunrise and sunset cruises on a river of glass. Fly north to the Busanga Plains, where lions climb trees, then finish in the Luangwa Valley - leopard country, and the finest walking safaris in Africa.

Connecting with Local women
Beyond the places we visit are the women who bring them to life. In this space, we’ll share their stories, perspectives and experiences — from local guides and hosts to women in local villages, entrepreneurs and community leaders, offering a glimpse into their worlds and building a deeper connection.
