Introducing Silver Thorn Safaris, where expertise meets adventure. Our journey began with a profound moment when a close friend from the United States visited South Africa. While hunting with Benton Davies, she was captivated by the breathtaking Karoo sweet thorn tree with its magnificent silver thorns resembling the long horns on the Oryx. From that moment, Silver Thorn Safaris was inspired, driven by a commitment to bring unique and inspired creations to the safari business. Brenden and Armand joined in this creation, bringing their unique experiences and ideas to enhance our commitment to delivering extraordinary creations in the safari business.

Our journey with Silver Thorn Safaris has been nothing short of extraordinary. Founded by Brenden Davies, Armand Davies, and Benton Davies—individuals fueled by an unwavering passion for Africa—the company embodies the richness and diversity this continent has to offer.

What sets Silver Thorn Safaris apart is our deep commitment to family. At the core of our values is the belief that your family is ours. Our main focus is not just on providing exceptional services but creating experiences that bring families closer together. Silver Thorn Safaris is more than a company; it’s a heartfelt invitation to discover the wonders of Africa, where your family becomes an integral part of ours, sharing in the joy and beauty of every moment.

A significant Inspiration to Silver Thorn Safaris is Benton Davies, a name you may have heard before.

Raised on a farm, Benton has been hunting since the age of 7, exploring every centimetre of this diverse continent.
