SAFARISTHAT ARE TAILOR-MADE just FOR YOU

the ellie & may way

The Ellie & May Way brings conscious conservation and experiential travel together which allows you, as our guests, to leave your own legacy behind in this ancient land.

You can personalise your safari to include conservation-based experiences on the ground with world class field guides, game rangers and veterinary experts. This allows you to not only contribute, but to be hands on in the ongoing effort to ensure the survival of the spectacular wildlife that inhabit this land alongside us. Or perhaps take a visit into the local communities to understand the culture and heritage of the area you are visiting, which gives you a small insight into the in-depth and diverse continent, that is Africa.

Whether you choose to have a conservation-based activity, a community visit or simply to experience a once-in-a-lifetime safari, booking your trip through Ellie & May Safaris ensures that you are making a difference to conservation through The McMillan Conservation Fund.

if I have ever seen magic, it has been in Africa

Africa is one of the last strongholds in the world for incredible wildlife spectacles, diverse cultural heritage and gorgeously, inspiring landscapes. This continent offers large pieces of wilderness where animals still have the privilege to move between countries on their ancient migratory routes. That alone, is truly a privilege.

Imagine paddling alongside some of Africa’s largest mammals in the Okavango Delta or the mighty Zambezi River, to walking in ancient rain forests among our closest ancestors, and perhaps immersing yourselves in the majestic city of Cape Town whilst sipping on some of the world’s finest wines in the famous Cape Winelands. Whatever makes your heart skip a beat, we can guarantee that we have the experience to help you plan the trip of a lifetime and showcase the best of the best that Africa has to offer, whilst keeping it personal and specialised just for you.

travel with ease

Looking at booking a safari can be intimidating with the countless options Africa has to offer. We rely on our own personal expertise to ensure the experience is as seamless as possible, just for you. From recommending the areas to travel to, to organising all the transfers to and from the lodges, chartered flights, you name it, and we have you covered from the moment you touch down on African soil.
