Rewilding African Tourism: Secret Spots Your Clients Will Thank You For

A lifelong champion for travel advisors, Karin has trained hundreds, led immersive FAMs across Africa, and now runs a Safari Mentoring Group, with limited new spots opening soon.

Join her to explore Africa’s most inspiring safari camps—far from the crowds—where tourism actively restores land, supports local communities, and protects endangered species.

Artisans of Safari offers full advisor support: white-labeled materials, 3-way client calls, and a dedicated Travel Advisor Portal.
