My name is Tarryn Thackwell. I have a passion for sustainability and have worked for a number of years in this space.

I grew up on a farm in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, where many hours were spent adventuring and exploring nature. I try to impart my love of the outdoors to my two young daughters and encourage them to learn about our fascinating surroundings in Southern Africa.

We are fortunate to spend a lot of time in the African bush with family and friends. Seeing the excitement of children learning and discovering was the inspiration behind the Safari & Me brand. Game drives and bush experiences are marked by trying to find as many birds, animals and spoor as possible and keeping track of any new species. I realised there was an opportunity to enhance their understanding of the magic of our world and its creatures whilst also conveying the importance of preserving it. So, I conceptualised the durable, reusable Safari & Me activity book with nature and sustainability in mind – and from there our business journey began. I cannot wait to expand the Safari & Me product offering so watch this space!

TESTIMONIALS

  • “We absolutely love the Safari & Me Activity Book! We’ve taken it with us on several bush holidays, and the excitement to dive into it is always the same. It’s been so special watching my daughters work together to spot animals, helping each other so they can tick them off the checklist together. It’s a wonderful way to keep them engaged during drives. We wouldn’t go to the bush without it!”

  • Safari & Me, I absolutely love your Activity Book! I bought two copies, and they are
    the perfect companion for any visit to a game reserve or nature park.
    The information on the wildlife, from the Big Five to the Small Five and Little Five, is
    informative, engaging, and just right for curious children (and adults too!). I especially
    love the sections on rare sightings and birds of the bush, as well as the opportunity
    to tick off each animal spotted along the way. It turns every game drive into an
    exciting adventure and keeps children interested, involved, and learning.
    The book is beautifully produced, excellent quality, and exceptional value for money.
    I can highly recommend it to every family heading into the bush.

  • My niece was obsessed with it! She took it on every game drive and was so excited
    to tick off all her animals and birds! She loved drawing pictures of the animals in the
    Notes!
