About Us

Safari Hotels are owned by Geoffrey and Patience Smith. Geoff met Nigerian Patience whilst they were both working as volunteers in a refugee camp in Chad. They fell in love, married, and Geoff moved to Patience's home in Nigeria. Spotting a gap in the market for a small chain of Western-run budget hotels in West Africa, the Safari Hotels Group was born in 2010. The first Hotel was opened in Nigeria, and since then other locations now have a Safari Hotel. Geoff and Patience look forward to welcoming you to one of their Hotels.
