I am Craig Mitchell, nature guide, conservationist and KhakiBush Magazine editor and chief, and I have spent much of my life drawn to Africa’s wild places.

​

From early mornings in the bush to long days on remote trails and dusty 4x4 tracks, I’ve always believed that Africa is not something to be viewed from a distance — it is something to be experienced fully, respectfully, and deeply.

​

Craig X Safaris was created from that belief.​

​

I offer an African adventure experience that takes people beyond the tourist routes and into the heart of wild Africa.

​

I create and host guided experiences including:

​

• Wilderness hiking and multi-day trails

• 4x4 overland expeditions

• Bush camping adventures

• Remote off-grid journeys

• Authentic outdoor exploration experiences

​

These are not packaged holidays. They are real journeys into wild spaces — where nature leads, and simplicity returns.

​​​

Over the years, I’ve seen how many people travel through Africa without ever truly connecting with it.

​

This is my way of changing that.

​

It’s about slowing down, stepping off the beaten track, and experiencing Africa the way it was meant to be — on foot, around the fire, under the stars, and deep in the wild.

​

My Philosophy.

​

I believe adventure should be:

​

Authentic. Ethical. Respectful.

​

We travel lightly, respect the land, and aim to leave every place better than we found it — not just in footprint, but in spirit and understanding.

​

Join Me on the Journey.

​

My adventures are for those who feel the pull of the wild.

​

Whether you are a hiker, overlander, photographer, or simply someone searching for something real, I invite you to experience Africa with me — properly, and without compromise.

​

Experience Africa. The Wild Way.
