Authentic African Travel Experiences Curated
by Donald & Portia Hondo

Born and raised in Zimbabwe, Donald and Portia Hondo bring over 40 years of combined experience in African travel, offering guests an intimate, first-hand understanding of the continent’s landscapes, cultures, and wildlife. Their deep local knowledge and global expertise allow them to design unforgettable, tailor-made journeys across Africa.

Donald’s background includes tour-leading across Southern and East Africa, a marketing role at Disney in the U.S., and a Diploma in Events Management from the University of Cape Town. His itineraries masterfully blend adventure, cultural immersion, and luxury. Portia complements this with a sharp talent for logistics and operations, ensuring each trip runs seamlessly from start to finish. Donald has also spent over a decade organizing high-profile events for international brands.

Together, they focus on delivering exceptional value, personalized service, and meticulous attention to detail. Their philosophy is simple: it’s not just a trip—it’s a lifetime experience. Whether it’s your first safari or a return to your favorite destination, they craft memories designed to stay with you forever.

I’ve worked closely with Grosbeak Safaris and have been consistently impressed by their professionalism and dedication. Donald doesn’t just go the extra mile—he goes far beyond it, often spending hours on the phone with agents to ensure every detail is perfect. He would rather take a personal loss than let a client have a poor experience. His commitment to putting others’ needs before his own truly sets him apart.
