Over Sixty Years of Safaris

Syd Downey and Donald Ker set up Ker and Downey shortly after the Second World War, in which they had both served. Today the company that bears their name keeps their love of Africa and its inhabitants alive. Many other companies have imitated us. Flattered as we are, we remain the original and best.

Today Ker and Downey is a partnership, employing hundreds of safari crew. Operated by owner-guides, we have an unparalleled reputation for providing the world’s finest safaris. We know where to find the largest concentrations of wildlife and we know the people who help to conserve them. We know the most beautiful areas in which to see game and the communities that have lived there for generations. Sixty years of wisdom goes into every safari we conduct.
