WOW Safaris is a small “designer” tour company, committed to providing you with a group-specific experience that will maximize your personal dreams and Africa’s unique needs.

You see, I already know some of the amazing people you will meet and the life changing experiences you will have. I am smiling to myself as I think about the journey you are about to take. 

Africa is an energetic, entrepreneurial, exciting and emerging continent. It is as filled with possibilities as it is with problems and struggles. The women you will meet know that they have to work at least twice as hard as you do to make ends meet and to provide for their children and grandchildren.

I firmly believe that it is NOT poverty, AIDs, disease, poor education, corruption, war, and (you name it) that is Africa’s big problem, it is the lack of leaders – leaders with integrity. As leaders go – so go the nations. And I also believe that as women go – so go the leaders and the nations.

I will be there to welcome you at the airport and we will have a journey to remember.

For the love of Africa,

Lois Shaw
