ABOUT US

ABOUT US

Your Bridge to East Africa, Built on Service and Family.

We are Barton and Tracy Jeffs, the founders of All in Africa Safaris USA. Based here in South Jordan, Utah, we started this company to bring American travelers the safety, structure, and peace of mind that is often missing in international travel.

We know that a journey to Africa is more than just a vacation; it is an investment in lifetime memories. As parents of four—ranging from our youngest daughter at 12 to our married son at 27—we understand the dynamics of family travel. Whether you are planning a bucket-list adventure for two or a complex journey for a family with teenagers, we treat your trip with the same care and protectiveness as if it were our own.

We also bring a level of logistical rigor that is rare in the travel industry. As a retired US Army officer with 30 years of service, I (Barton) built this company on military principles: precise planning, uncompromised safety standards, and absolute integrity. We do not leave details to chance.

To deliver this, we partner exclusively with All in Africa Safaris (U) Ltd in Kampala. This partnership gives you the best of both worlds: the legal protection and accountability of a US company, combined with the deep local roots of our Ugandan team.

What we do

What We Do

100% Private Safaris at Group Tour Prices.

We specialize in crafting custom itineraries for Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, and Tanzania. We believe your time in Africa should be yours alone, not dictated by the schedule of a large bus tour.

We excel at turning your specific interests—whether it is Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi, witnessing the Great Migration, or exploring the source of the Nile—into a seamless reality. Your journey is private; the wildlife encounter is shared.

This means you travel in your own private 4x4 vehicle with your own dedicated guide. You have the freedom to linger at a sighting or adjust your daily pace, all without the premium price tag usually associated with private travel. From adrenaline-filled rafting adventures to quiet moments on the savannah, we ensure every detail is planned before you leave home, so you can focus entirely on the experience.
