Urban SAFARI was founded in 2018 by Adrian Bantich, born from a deep-rooted passion for the city and a belief that some of the most compelling stories are found far beyond its most recognisable landmarks.

After almost two decades working as a safari guide across Africa, Adrian understood the value of looking closely at a place, moving beyond what is immediately visible and discovering the people, histories, characters and unexpected details that give a destination its identity.

The result was Urban SAFARI: an entirely different way of experiencing the city.

Rather than simply moving from one attraction to the next, Urban SAFARI invites guests to look at the city through a different lens. Its experiences are shaped around narratives. Political, Creative, Economic, Human Origins.

Revealing the many layers that exist within a city and the connections between them.

Supporting independent businesses, meeting the people who shape their communities, discovering emerging creative spaces and sharing stories that might otherwise remain untold are all part of the experience.

There is no single way to experience an Urban SAFARI. Every day is intentionally fluid, allowing room for spontaneity, conversation and discovery. The best moments are often the ones that cannot be planned. A conversation that changes the direction of the day, an unexpected stop, a new perspective on a familiar place.

This is the essence of Urban SAFARI: a more considered way to explore the city. Curated, personal and deeply connected to place, it is an invitation to move beyond the expected and experience the city as it really is — complex, creative, constantly evolving and full of stories waiting to be discovered.
