Our Story
Undying Passion for Africa
Cambium Safaris began in 2020 as Jack Anderson’s lifelong dream of becoming a Professional Field Guide, Trans Africa Travel Agent, and Safari Operator came to fruition. We live by one simple philosophy – “Look to this day, for it is life.” Jack has been traveling to Africa since high school and fell in love with the continent after experiencing an overlanding safari through Namibia. We are a boutique Travel Agency and Safari Operator, and every trip is designed with the individual in mind. This level of detail is possible because Jack personally oversees and carefully curates all itineraries with your dreams in mind.
Cambium or Cambia are the veins in a tree or plant that transport the energy produced by leaves through photosynthesis down to the roots, and all of the water absorbed through the roots by active absorption up to the leaves. Without the Cambium layer, a tree or plant cannot survive. Our guided wilderness experiences are about reconnecting to the earth, each other, and ourselves.
Learning How to Walk (all over again)
After graduating from The University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) in 2017, Jack Anderson stepped off the graduate stage and boarded a plane for South Africa to fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming a professional field guide. Jack graduated from guiding school at the top of his class and continued working as a guide until returning home to Houston, Texas, in 2019. Shortly after his return to the States, Cambium Safaris was born.
