28 | LUXlife Magazine African Safari Tour Operator of the Year 2025 – USA When it comes to unique travel experiences, there are few things on the planet as truly magical and unforgettable as an authentic African safari. This is why Live Life African Safari Getaways, a company initially from South Africa but today based in the US, gives its clients the opportunity to see Africa the way that it is meant to be seen. Covering the wildlife rich regions of Southern and East Africa and even the Indian Ocean Islands, this is a fullservice tour operator committed to delivering adventures like no other. “Live life.” This simple, two-word phrase was something that Clint Saint, the founder and CEO of this award-winning African safari tour operator, heard a lot growing up. These words were often uttered by Clint’s late father, Graeme Saint, who lost his hard-fought battle with cancer at the young age of 52. His father’s passing made these words all the more poetic for Clint, who established Live Life African Safari Getaways on this principle, as well as the enthusiasm for travel and exploration Graeme embodied every day of his life. Alongside his mother, Diane Saint, Clint has built a team of experienced and dedicated travel and business professionals, with the result being bespoke journeys to some of Africa’s most popular safari destinations and many of its hidden gems. When this team – many of whom grew up in Africa themselves – tailor their itineraries to specific clients, they do so according to such factors as special interests and budget, ensuring that, whatever the expectations of a traveller, they are exceeded at every turn. The customised safari experiences delivered by Live Life span 10 African nations – in addition to the aforementioned Indian Ocean Islands. In planning their dream getaway, clients are first invited to browse the choice selection of previous itineraries the team have crafted (available on the company’s website), using these as a baseline to inform staff what it is they want to see when they are in Africa, as well as the specific countries they intend to visit. This selection covers everything from seeing the gorillas of Uganda to an East Africa safari and island escape or discovering Victoria Falls, Cape Town and its surrounding wine country and Botswana’s fascinating Okavango Delta meaning that there is something available for every preference. The choice that clients are afforded does not end with the activities they choose and the countries they go to however, with accommodation also being something that can be personalised right down to the last detail. Be it a luxury tented camp or safari lodge, or something more simple, Live Life can deliver the experience it clients seek – and then some. Having developed close relationships with the owners of some of the best and most unique lodgings across the continent, many of the accommodations that Live Life recommends have been personally stayed at by the team – especially Clint himself, who often accompanies tours to see that everything is up to the industry-high standards guests have come to expect from an operator with such a strong reputation. It may seem like a small detail, but this commitment reflects a business entirely passionate about quality. Rather than taking our word for it, a host of client testimonials speak volumes about the calibre of service delivered by Clint and the team. One example of this outstanding feedback comes from Hunter and Jamie Smothers of Greensboro, North Carolina, who said: “We had the privilege of travelling with Clint on a 17-day vacation and everything was top notch. From the safaris at Xobega and Tuskers to the Floreal House and Oyster Box, Clint took care of every detail and went out of the way to make sure our vacation was personalised.” The couple go on to describe this as, “by far the best vacation we have ever taken.” This is a common theme across many of the testimonials we came across, with one client, Erin Ondisco, even having said: “I now know what a trip of a lifetime truly means” and Dorothy Brunnholzel of New York calling her safari adventure “a life-changing experience.” All of these reviews capture the essence of Live Life perfectly – this is a welcome alternative to the ‘cookie-cutter’ method of travel that many of its competitors provide. Offering clients from all over the US a chance to immerse themselves in all that Africa has to give – from stunning landscapes to distinctive wildlife – in a way that best suits them, Live Life African Safari Getaways is more than deserving of this title recognising it as the African Safari Tour Operator of the Year 2025 – USA.
