Our core staff has more than twenty-five years of combined experience in organizing Southern Africa safaris.

Falcon Safaris is owned and managed by Hamilton and Chenai Mandi.
Falcon Safaris was created with the vision of sharing the wonders of the African continent with those who are eager to explore some of the world’s most magnificent areas…areas that combine pristine, natural beauty, incredible wildlife, cultural diversity, and remote, unspoiled, and untamed wilderness. If you want to experience the true essence of Africa, then the big lodges filled with masses of tourists are not for you. We, in conjunction with only the very best of our local African partners, are here to offer you large, remote, private, and exclusive concessions that cater to a minimal number of guests. With so few guests in such large unspoiled tracts of wilderness, the magical feeling is unlike anything you are likely to ever experience.
Whether you want to plan the perfect honeymoon, the daring African adventure holiday, the ultimate African safari, or a unique family vacation, Africa offers it all. At Falcon Safaris, we are here to offer you photographic African safaris, eco-tourism, and adventure travel. All our trips are tailor-made to our guests’ specifications – so no two trips will ever be alike. Whatever your special interest, we have something that will meet your needs. We do all the research, plan your itinerary, provide the necessary information and cover all details – all you need to do is pack your bag and prepare for the African vacation of a lifetime.
Falcon Safaris is run by people who know the African continent intimately, who have lived there, and who know the people and Places. It is run by people who were born and raised in Africa and who continue to return year after year – not only to refresh their knowledge but predominantly because of the love and passion that they have for its areas.

Hamilton founded Falcon Safaris in 2004 - based on an idea he had whilst working for the Civil Aviation Authority
Hamilton founded Falcon Safaris in 2004 - based on an idea he had whilst working for the Civil Aviation Authority at Harare and Victoria Falls Airports between 1999 and 2002.
Many guests mentioned the difficulty of obtaining good information on Victoria Falls and surrounding attractions - Hamilton saw the growing use of the internet as a way of providing that information and marketing the numerous Lodges & Camps. Starting off as a Travel Consultant for Island Safari, then a day tours and transfers company, he has seen the company grow into a dynamic Team of Destination Experts who are passionate about selling and introducing Africa to the world. The Company has also enabled him to travel and interact extensively throughout the Country visiting most camps and lodges in the region, and he still handles enquiries personally.

Born and raised in Zimbabwe, I spent much of my childhood in Harare and our rural home Chinhoyi. I had a very strong desire from an early age to spread my wings.
I moved to Victoria Falls in 2002 and started off as a Travel Consultant with Trumpet Safaris. In 2004 I joined Falcon Safaris as a travel consultant and the real adventure began! With my first taste of the industry beyond just Victoria Falls it was here that my passion was set alight. I’ve worked in many roles within the company and that has helped appreciate and understand the industry. I love being part of every process and continue to create unforgettable memories to our every client. A holder of an Honors Degree in Business Administration & Management with Solusi University.

Even though he enjoyed The Mother City life as a young man, he always wanted to be home. It didn’t take long before he got a job with one leading Tour Operator based in Harare as a Tours Consultant in a ladies only company.

The Tourism Capital of Zimbabwe kept calling and before long he was back in Victoria Falls in 2005. Since then, he worked for Wilderness Safaris in Groups Department, before moving across to Livingstone to start their new Tours and Transfers office. After 2 years of training a local person to take over, he moved back to Wilderness Zimbabwe as Assistant General Manager in 2008. It didn’t take long before he was promoted to General Manager overseeing the Tours and Transfers offices in Victoria Falls, Livingstone and Chobe. He worked with various renowned operators like Thompsons Africa, A&K during that time. Attention to detail has always been his number one asset. In 2013 he felt he was ready to start his own thing and left Wilderness. It did not quite work out as planned and went back into management. He managed a charter company, went back to Wilderness as Camp Manager. He has done all entities you can think of in Tourism industry. His passion for what he does, experience and exposure is what makes him valuable to this company.

I grew up in the capital city Harare, then moved to Victoria Falls in my late twenties. I studied Office Administration but got into tourism by ‘accident’.
Since then I have not looked back. Because of the love of what I do and my passion for the job, I cannot trade it for anything in the world. I do not dream doing anything else apart from creating memories for my clients. I love the outdoors, travelling, meeting new people, learning about new places and reading anything to increase my general knowledge. Favorite place in Zimbabwe: I love the unspoiled Gonarezhou National Park. That view of the Chilojo Cliffs take my breath away. I would go there any time!!

We travelled with Falcon Safaris in Zimbabwe and Botswana for 16 days. Falcon designed a wonderful trip with private guide to the most interesting sites in both countries. The organization of the whole trip was excellent, flights within the country, accommodation and activites. The guides were very knowledgable and told us a lot about the countries, their history, people, economy and much more. We visited the Great Zimbabwe Ruins, the Victoria Falls Tour and a number of national parks in both countries.
Rhino tracking was a real adventure! We had tremendous further game drives and saw very many animals - we did the Big Five. We had much more Victoria Falls Activities than planned and enjoyed very much.We strongly recommend Falcon Safaris to everyone planning a trip to Southern Africa and East Africa.
Our Consultant Vimbai was very helpful and accommodating. We stayed at the Elephant hills hotel which was nothing short of amazing.Our activities included a helicopter flight, dinner cruise as well as a morning game drive. All the activities were absolutely amazing.
We worked with Gertrude to schedule and organize everything and she did an excellent job. I asked a lot of questions via e-mail and she answered everyone in a timely helpful manner. Our guide at Victoria Falls was also great. He met us at the airport, provided a thoughtful tour of the Falls and got us to our next guide in Botswana. Our lodgings at River View Lodge were just as described- very comfortable and excellent food. All the staff were so pleasant and helpful. If I had to do it again I would arrange a morning boat ride as well. We only did the sunset boat rides and they were the high point of our entire trip- we saw so many animals and our guide was very knowledgeable. Just a great experience. Our lodgings at Oddball's Enclave was rustic and we loved it. So great to disconnect from the world for a bit. Leo, our guide, was the best - got us out and about, saw fantastic wildlife and got back to camp safely each time. Doc manages the camp so well. This whole trip was planned and organized by Falcon Safaris and we could not have been happier.
Falcon safaris have given my the correct advice with excellent service. The only suggestion will be to work closer with the lodges to confirm bookings as soon as possible. We have booked and pay our deposit a year in advance. We have only receive our final convermation from Chobe Safari lodge a week before departure. I do realize its not within your controle but with limit alternatives and a group of 14 people it becomes an issue to find alternative accomodation if the booking was cancelled.
We love Africa's diversity and create amazing trips for you. With 30+ years of experience, we customize every trip just for you.
