Born Free Safaris

title=

This company isn't your run-of-the-mill safari tour operator: Founder Alana Hayden first began customizing safaris 32 years ago and now creates unusual itineraries featuring wildlife destinations as well as cultural areas, such as Ghana, Ethiopia, Mali, and Gabon. You may travel by luxury train through South Africa, trek through the Rift Valley by foot, or eschew safari lodges for private ranches, country inns, and bush estates.
