Welcome to Sol.

Sol Safari is a small, regenerative safari company created by Friedrich Setzkorn and Olivia Haynie Lara.

We focus on thoughtful, slow travel - adventure focused expeditions that feel grounded, culturally rich, and genuinely connected to the land and the people.

Sol Safari is our way of sharing the places we love, 

in the wild, adventurous and authentic way we love to travel.
