Our Story

For over 35 years, Roger Dugmore Safaris has been crafting extraordinary private safari experiences in Botswana. Our deep knowledge of this remarkable country allows us to create unforgettable, tailor-made adventures just for you.

The concept of mobile safaris is rooted in the traditional way of exploring the wild, a practice that has evolved over the past 50 years. The word “safari” means “journey,” and this perfectly captures our philosophy. We are passionate about providing life-changing experiences in some of the last truly wild places on earth.

Our legacy began with John Dugmore, who passed his love for nature and safaris to his son, Roger. Today, this passion continues through Roger’s cousin, Justin Everingham. As a family-run business, we value our deep connections with the natural world, enriching lives through shared journeys of discovery.

With decades of intimate knowledge of Botswana’s landscapes, wildlife, and cultural richness, we ensure sustainability and consistency in every personalised safari experience. Each journey reflects our commitment to excellence and our profound love for the wild.

We are dedicated to sharing our insights and creating engaging learning experiences. Our personalised approach fosters meaningful connections, not only to the land but also to the incredible people you’ll meet along the way. We believe the true essence of a journey lies in the relationships formed during your adventure.

Service excellence and the well-being of our dedicated team are our top priorities. Together, we create the perfect foundation for you to embrace your private safari adventure, exploring the magical landscapes and unique biodiversity of the Okavango Delta and the Kalahari Desert in search of solitude and wonder.

Join us in discovering the unparalleled beauty of Botswana, where every journey is an invitation to connect with nature and create lasting memories.

Maggie, USA – September 2024

“Wow, this has been the trip of a lifetime! From the bottom of my heart, thank you for creating one of the most exceptional life experiences I’ve ever had. Showing the Okavango delta from your eyes has been one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever experienced. Your expertise and commitment to share your knowledge has clearly created an amazing legacy that my family was so very fortunate to experience. Thank you for your positive attitude and friendship throughout the whole experience. I will never forget this trip!”

“Absolutely game-changing trip. I’m still trying to remember ‘LBD’ (Life before Dugmore)! You all have provided such a special trip for me & my family that we will never forget. Every day was special, along with every night. Your staff made it extra special with all of their attention to detail. We can’t wait for our next adventure with you.”

Ryszard, Poland – August 2024

“Really unique experience! Roger and his nephew Justin are providing really private (we haven’t seen another tourists for the entire stay) experience. In tents, like safari used to be organized in the past, yet extremely comfortable. Hippos and elephants are making difficult to sleep, but already the second night you are going to enjoy it. We have been to many safaris in Africa and Asia, but nothing compares to it. It is worth every cent. If you go that far, instead of staying in permanent lodges close to Maun – go for the real experience. Highly recommended!”

Marc, New Mexico, USA – April 2024

“This has been without reservation, one of the greatest family safari experiences. The surplus of humour, camaraderie, care, knowledge and laughter will ring far into the future for our family.”
