Warren has an encyclopaedic knowledge of African flora and fauna and keen observational powers.

Ten years ago, I had the great good luck of sitting next to Warren Pearson on a flight to the Oppenheimer private South African game preserve, Tswalu. He was going there to guide another group but I was impressed with his intelligence and great knowledge of Africa. We kept in touch and I asked him to organise a trip to Tanzania and Rwanda a couple of years later. He has subsequently organised three additional trips for our family to South Africa, Kenya and Botswana, including one with my 89-year-old mother, who never missed a game drive.

Warren’s extensive network of guides and outfitters ensures that the quality of the safari experience is unsurpassed. He prefers to organise safaris in the old-fashioned way—highly mobile and under canvas—but always with superb food, comfortable beds and excellent local guides. He is, however, equally at home in the most luxurious permanent lodges Africa has to offer. Warren has an encyclopaedic knowledge of African flora and fauna and keen observational powers. That, combined with his ability to bring out the best in the local guides, guarantees that there will be many “iconic” moments out in the bush. Warren also has a distinct style of guiding. Rather than rushing from one site to another, he likes to let Africa unfold at its own pace—usually in a spectacular fashion. Whether on the vast planes of the Serengeti, in the rugged mountains of northern Kenya, or on the waters of the Okavango Delta you can be assured the African experience will be a splendid one. Our family could not recommend anyone more highly.

Doing a safari under the guidance of Warren Pearson is an experience of a lifetime. He is a fantastic guide who ensures you fully experience the safari through his sharing of his expansive knowledge of flora, fauna and inhabitants of the visiting area. He makes you feel safe in every situation regardless of your age and abilities. I am 81 years old and in every one of my trips he has always been there to encourage and help. A safari with Warren Pearson is a voyage you will never forget because all your senses will be alive while you enjoy Nature in its purest and most primal form.

I wish I could go on a safari with Warren every year.

Warren has a connection with the animals which is unbelievable. In addition to an encyclopaedic knowledge of the animals, Warren can understand what’s going through their mind. He can predict their next move by observing them. This allowed us to experience their relationship with their family, their hunts and their reaction to predators. Being with Warren on a safari is not just seeing wild animals, it’s getting immersed in their world. It’s like “jumping inside” a fascinating documentary.

I can sum up a safari with Warren in one word. EPIC!! I have known and been guided by Warren for over 20 years. Each time I go on safari, it is incredible. Every detail has been taken care of, all you need to do is get to Africa, and he has taken care of the rest. His knowledge of flora, fauna, cultures and geography is world-class. His network of connections allows him to design a once-in-a-lifetime experience for you and whomever you are travelling with. One of the unique gifts you walk away with is that you genuinely feel that The Safari Never Ends.

Sherri and I want you to know how much you meant to our trip – upon reflection, indispensable! Your knowledge of every fact and facet of the fauna, flora, people, countries, etc., was truly astounding, your enthusiasm for everything was wonderfully contagious, and your absolute calm professionalism in the face of unexpected travel challenges was immensely reassuring. As Sherri and I both told you, neither of us was convinced at the outset that a private guide to travel with us was necessary, but it took us only our first camp to appreciate how wrong we were.
