OUR FAMILY
safariFRANK is the Steenhuisen’s. We have our feet firmly planted in three amazing continents Africa, Australia and Europe (Germany)! Our African heritage and close knit family have seen us travel overland through the African bush for over 30 years. Every family member is ‘instilled’ with a great love of the African land. Going on Safari in Africa is for us not a destination, it is lifestyle. We want to share these real Safari experiences with you. Amongst the clan we champion the wilds of Africa, educating, conserving and supporting. With Frank on the ground in Africa leading the way as a trails guide, we can share with you our wild Africa!
