Experience the magic of the African bushveld as the first light touches the horizon, guiding you on an exhilarating journey to track a pride of lions.
As night falls, gather around a crackling fire with family and friends, the night sky blazing with stars above you as you share stories and relive the day's highlights.
Meeting the gaze of a male lion, hearing a hyena’s whoop as you lie in bed at night, or feeling the crisp morning air on your face while tracking a leopard—these unforgettable moments define the adventure of safari.
Whether embarking on a solo mission or sharing the experience with family and friends, a safari is not just an exciting journey—it’s a transformative experience that enriches the soul.
Safari is a rediscovery of the
interconnectedness between the animals,
the people, the land,
and ourselves.

Spending time with mountain gorillas is a profound experience. In Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park and Uganda’s Bwindi and Mgahinga National Parks, visitors can trek to see these incredible creatures, along with chimpanzees and golden monkeys. Both countries are clean and well-governed, and gorilla trekking pairs well with a safari in Tanzania or Kenya.

Annie's expertise (as a former ranger/guide), her passion for Africa and extensive travel knowledge made our trip truly unique. I have travelled and booked things on my own before but this trip, organized by Annie-our "boots on the ground" there, was so local, luxurious and authentic that it made it PERSONAL and so special for me and for all 50 of my guests! In amongst safaris, wine tastings, and luxury accommodations we got to experience visits with local communities and had the opportunity to "give back" to this amazing continent in a meaningful way. What Annie put together for us was indeed LIFE CHANGING. I could never have booked or executed this on my own. I can't recommend Breathe Africa strongly enough!!! If you want to travel in Africa in a personal, meaningful, and magical way- book with Breathe Africa!
"Imagine this, my 50th birthday with 50 of my friends from the US, Australia, UK, South Africa on safari in the African bush and touring Cape Town and the winelands for 10 days!"

Her knowledge, respect and love for the many wild inhabitants of the Timbavati along with her adventurous soul inspired all six of us. What a great teacher! Not to mention what excellent company she is as a person.
On our second trip, two years later, to a different region, she drove eight hours to guide us again. Lee-Anne is “family” now. If you are considering a trip with Breathe Africa, I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
"My family’s first visit to Africa was the start of a continuing love story. We were lucky enough to have Lee-Anne Yammin as our guide"
Welcome to my sanctuary
BEHIND BREATHE AFRICA
I'm Lee-Anne (better known as Annie). I am a professional safari guide and travel planner. The African wilderness has always been my sanctuary. Everything that shaped me, that made me whole, was taught by nature. Over nine years as a full-time safari guide, I witnessed unbelievable sightings and saw how time spent outdoors transformed my guests – calming them, inspiring them, and sending them home happier.
