The Urban Safari is rooted in a passion for exploration and the spirit of adventure, and began in 1998 as a series of weekend outings for the local Land Rover Club. Eventually the owners included camping, adventure, and challenge in an expedition-style tour. Whether in San Francisco or Africa, the safari experience is one of discovery, excitement and growth.
