AFRICA IS NOT JUST OUR DESTINATION ITS OUR WAY OF LIFE

Bespoke safaris, unforgettable experiences.

Mangwara was born from a life lived in Africa. Not visited. Not observed. Lived. From the wide open plains of the Masai Mara to the remote waterways of the Okavango Delta, we bring first-hand knowledge, trusted connections and a genuine passion for the continent to every safari we design, each one is as unique as the person who takes it.

“Sarah Fernandes was recommended to us as the go—to Kenya specialist and it was hands down one of the most memorable family holidays, thanks to her, her expertise and contacts. One of those holidays that stay with you long after you’ve returned"

Louisa Norrie

"In conclusion, anyone seeking a bespoke journey in Kenya, personally crafted to suit their needs, interests and budget, could not do better than to seek out Sarah Fernandes and her team"

Stephen Harby

"I wanted to return to Kenya on a sentimental trip, My grandparents and my Uncle lived there and I had visited many years ago. I was put in touch with Sarah Fernandes who expertly put together a wonderful solo trip for me"

Tricia Bliss

"Our hearts have doubled in size by visiting the Gorillas in Rwanda! We will never forget this touching and amazing experience. Sarah made it all so smooth and carefree. We were met at the airport by facilitators with visas and customs, and then led to smart and professional drivers, who took us to our gorgeous lodge where our very special stay and trek to the Gorillas began. I am so grateful to Sarah for knowing exactly the right way to do any experience in Africa, thereby creating memories of a lifetime!"

Robin and Chris Donohoe

"This trip was everything we had hoped for and more (our 4 campsites were fabulous...comfort in the bush at its best!) We are grateful for the expert planning, excellent recommendations, and flawless execution that made our dream safari a reality. We highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a truly memorable African adventure."
