The FOUNDER

JORDAN BENNETT

Hi, I'm Jordan. I was born into the Safari Industry. As a child I spent my time on Safari between Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana etc. as my parents operated mobile Safaris. My childhood consisted of feeding & making friends with orphaned animals such as Chewy the Leopard and Tusker one of three baby Elephants, whose Mother was taken by poachers. I would make dolls out of Kigelia "sausage tree" pods that kept my sister and I entertained for weeks out in the bush. I was bathed in a bucket by the side of a massive Unimog truck where my Mother, Linda, stood guard with a gun, making sure no lions crept up. I consider this upbringing a privledge.

SAFARI & SALT

Our Family

Safari and Salt is a culmination of four generations of passionate safari pioneers in Africa. It all started with my great grand-father who was born on an ox-wagon as they migrated into the wildlands of Zimbabwe. My grandparents continued the legacy by establishing one of Zimbabwe’s largest wild-game reserves. My mother and father continued in this love for wildlife protection and conservation with their work as professional safari guides before developing safari properties in some of the most remote corners of southern Africa. African exploration is in our blood. When you decide to travel with us, you become apart of our family.
