About

About Golden Hour Safaris

Golden Hour Safaris is an independent guide to planning an African safari. We're not a travel agency or a tour operator — we don't sell trips, run tours, or take bookings. We research the routes and destinations, read the official sources, and write honest guides so you can plan and book your own trip with confidence.

How we stay honest

We only point you toward things we'd genuinely choose ourselves — and we say so plainly when something is overhyped, overpriced, or not worth your time. There are no paid placements dressed up as advice, and no operator pays to be featured here.

How this site is funded

Golden Hour Safaris is reader-funded. Some links — for flights, hotels, eSIMs and travel insurance — are affiliate links: if you book through one, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes what we recommend, or the order we recommend it in. You can read the full detail in our privacy & affiliate notice.

What we don't do

We don't arrange trips, we're not affiliated with any tour operator, and we don't accept payment to recommend anyone. If a guide here ever reads like a sales pitch, we've failed — tell us.
