Steyn Africa Safaris was founded in 2021 by husband-and-wife team Gerard and Jo-anne Steyn, not simply as a business, but as a life built around the African bushveld they both grew up calling it home. Their roots run deep in the heart of the Waterberg Biosphere, a region known for its untouched wilderness, dramatic mountains, ancient landscapes, and incredible biodiversity. Furthermore, the Waterberg is recognized by UNESCO as a protected biosphere reserve and is considered one of South Africa’s most remarkable natural areas. Here, vast plains, rugged cliffs, free-roaming wildlife, rare bird species, and some of the oldest ecosystems on the continent come together to create a truly unique environment. As a result, visitors are immersed in an authentic African wilderness where mornings begin with the call of francolins, dust rises beneath buffalo hooves, and sunsets transform the bushveld into shades of deep orange and gold.
