About me

The call of the wild echoed in Karin Jones' ears in 1987, and Africa has held her heart captive ever since. With a brain as sharp as the lions she admires, Karin blends an Executive MBA with 38 years of leading several adventure companies. Karin's journey hasn't been confined to Africa’s plains. From tiger-spotting in India to exploring Borneo's lush rainforests, her experience spans continents. This diverse experience allows her to see Africa through a unique lens, understanding how it compares and complements other exotic destinations. Yet Africa remains her true love, earning her Conde Nast Traveler Top Specialist & Travel & Leisure's prestigious "A-List" for Africa, "Best Operator to Southern/Western Tanzania" and making her a secret weapon for top travel advisors. Karin isn't just selling safaris; she's building dreams. With a twinkle in her eye and a deep well of knowledge, she delves into your desires, transforming wildest African fantasies into meticulously planned realities. So, if you yearn for an adventure that stirs your soul, Karin Jones is your Africa whisperer. She's ready to unlock the continent's secrets and create memories that will echo in your heart long after the last acacia tree fades from view.
