Safari World

What Safari World does

Safari World (עולם הספארי) is a privately held Israeli boutique tour operator founded in 2014 and headquartered in Arad, Israel. The company designs and sells fully customized, end-to-end safari and nature-based travel packages to individual travelers, couples, families, and small groups, with destination coverage spanning Africa (Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Madagascar, Ethiopia), South Asia (India, Nepal, Sri Lanka), Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia), parts of Europe (Iceland, Romania, Estonia, Slovakia, Georgia, Finland, Portugal, Bulgaria), and the Maldives. Core offerings include classic wildlife safaris, walking safaris, tiger safaris in India, diving safaris, photography safaris, birdwatching tours, mountain treks (including Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya), bear-watching expeditions, and Lapland winter/aurora safaris.

The business is delivered through a single-owner-operator model led by Aviad Horev (אביעד חורב), who personally handles every customer interaction from initial inquiry through trip completion via phone (0523359345), WhatsApp, email ([email protected]), and the website contact form. The company does not operate a proprietary software platform, app, or booking system; trip components (lodges, guides, permits, in-country transport and flights) are sourced and coordinated through a network of local operators in destination countries. There is no SaaS or technology product layer — Safari World is a pure-play professional services travel agency.

Revenue is generated exclusively through bespoke, quote-based pricing on individually designed itineraries that bundle accommodation, transport, park fees, local guide services, and activities. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by destination, season, group size, and accommodation tier. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer with no sales team, channel partners, OTAs, or paid acquisition; the primary marketing channel is an active Facebook page used for social proof and organic discovery, supplemented by word-of-mouth referrals. The firm employs 1–10 people, has not raised external funding, and has no parent company, subsidiaries, or disclosed investors.
