Our Story:
A Legacy Born from a Love for the Bush
Nhongo Safaris began in 1999 as a shared dream between our founders, Verity and Dean Cherry. With over two decades of combined experience in the travel and hospitality industry, they saw a need for safari experiences that were not only thrilling but also authentic, personal, and respectful of the environment.
They built Nhongo Safaris from the ground up, fueled by a deep reverence for Africa’s wilderness. Today, that founding passion remains the core of our company. We are a family-run business that treasures the personal connections we make with our guests, guiding them to discover the untamed magic of Kruger.
