Decades of living and working across the wild spaces of Southern Africa
Why us?
At Launch, we don’t just design safaris — we craft immersive journeys that draw from decades of first-hand experience, deep relationships, and a relentless attention to detail.
We’ve spent the past 30 years living and working across the wild spaces of Southern Africa. From running remote bush camps to leading operations for some of Africa’s most respected safari brands, we’ve been in the thick of it — guiding guests, managing teams, troubleshooting aircraft on dirt airstrips, and pouring whisky by the fire under the stars.
Along the way, we’ve led multi-property safari portfolios, overseen teams of 200+ people, and shaped guest experiences for travellers from all over the world. We’ve worked everywhere from luxury camps and community-based lodges to conservation-first operations that rethink how tourism can serve people and planet.
What this means for you
- Insider access to places and people few know exist.
- On-the-ground know-how that turns challenges into magic.
- A passion for storytelling that connects every moment of your journey.
We know the difference between a good safari and a life-changing one. Because we’ve lived it.
Why we started launch
After years of building travel experiences for others, we created Launch to offer something different — something deeply personal. A return to journeys that are guided, not just booked. Where nothing is off the shelf, and everything is curated with purpose.
