About

Craig Howes is the founder and editor of African Safari Mag, a decision-stage publication focused on helping travellers understand how African safaris actually work, beyond marketing and brochure promises.


He has spent years travelling across Southern and East Africa, experiencing a wide range of safari styles, from high-end private concessions and remote fly-in camps to overland and self-drive safaris.


His work focuses on trade-offs, expectations, and decision clarity: helping readers choose the right safari for them, rather than simply the most popular or expensive option.


African Safari Mag operates independently of tour operators and booking platforms, with a strong emphasis on experience-led insight, conservation realities, and long-term trust.


His background also includes professional filmmaking and photography work across Africa’s safari industry. For a fuller editorial background, see Craig’s author page.

About African Safari Mag

African Safari Mag exists so you can plan a safari you won't regret. We're an independent editorial guide to how African safaris actually work: which country, which company, which lodge, when to go, and what it should cost.

When you're ready, we match you with a vetted specialist who builds and books the trip, free, with us in the loop until you're home.

We've done the trips we write about, and we'll tell you what they were actually like.

What We Do (and Don't Do)

We explain how the safari industry works, compare companies and lodges honestly, and match serious travellers with vetted specialists.

We don't sell trips, operate tours, or take payment for rankings. Companies earn their place editorially or not at all.

When a specialist we introduce wins your booking, they pay us a referral fee. It never changes who we recommend, and it costs you nothing.

Thoughtful safari guidance, not deals or discounts.
