COMPANY HISTORY

Claude and Jill Kleynhans are the owners of the Mafigeni Safari Company, which incorporates Embrace Africa Safaris, as well as other safari related divisions. Jill, along with her parents Westley and Esther Burman, is a founder and developer of the Mafigeni Safari Lodge, which they started building in 1995 and completed mid-1997. Claude, who has been guiding professionally since 1987, and Jill met on the home ranch, subsequently got married in August 1997 and combined their safari skills to establish one of South Africa’s leading safari outfits.

1998 was the first year that Claude and Jill marketed the company in the USA. At this time, Westley Burman was still the majority shareholder, but in 2000, Claude and Jill bought out Westley’s shares and are currently the Owner Operators and Managing Directors of the Mafigeni Safari Company.

The Mafigeni Safari Company celebrates it’s 10th anniversary in 2008! We have experienced 10 wonderful years with our guests, and we are even more excited about our future.

Claude and Jill live in South Africa, at the Mafigeni Safari Lodge and have raised their children Marina, Jolene and Alec in this wonderful bush environment.

Every guest is very important to us and we look forward to welcoming you to our home in Africa!
