From an early age, Karoline Hood’s fascination with African wildlife was inspired by the legendary Sir David Attenborough, whose dedication to nature ignited a lifelong passion. As Karoline grew older, this admiration evolved into a deep concern for the preservation of endangered species, the protection of habitats, and the impact we leave on the world for future generations.
In 2008, Karoline’s journey in conservation began with her travels across Africa. She volunteered with leading wildlife organizations, working firsthand to protect wildlife and restore vital ecosystems. Through these experiences, she became even more committed to the mission of ensuring that Africa’s wildlife thrives in its natural habitats for generations to come.

EXCELLENT Based on 4 reviews Posted on Gretchen SchneiderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There is so many things that I loved about the trip and working with the team at King Salama Safaris. First, Karoline and her team were so wonderful to work with. They were so knowledgeable about the areas we were traveling to and were able to take our vision for the trip and build the perfect experience for us. While we have traveled to Africa before she was able to recommended some destinations that fit our wants and away from the crowds. The team prepped us so well before we went that we felt confident our trip would go as planned. Lastly, the lodgings were all top-notch and different from each other. We were very happy in the variety of locations and lodging types. I can't imagine a better trip.Posted on Winn LaRueTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow! What an amazing adventure. We are eternally thankful to Karoline Hood for planning an amazing trip for us. She is our new best friend! I can't say enough about her knowledge, professionalism and attention to detail when planning our trip . She had the best recommendations and tips and walked us through every stage of the planning and traveling. Thank you so much Karoline, hugs from Texas!Posted on Julia HoweTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I simply cannot imagine a better tour operator than Karoline of King Salama Safaris. We will definitely be working with them again. We had everything that we needed. Once the trip was booked she kept in touch with us and prepared us for the trip. The only thing they couldn’t prepare us for was how truly amazing and life-changing our journey would be. While the animals and landscapes we saw in East Africa were magnificent, it was the authentic interactions with the local people. We fell in love with Africa The safari camps and lodges we stayed in, were all top notch and all have sustainable practices. The hospitality was amazing. beyond anything we have ever had in the US. Traveling so far from home can be a little intimidating, but thanks to King Salama Safaris we were were well taken care of.Posted on Aneta VizinováTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
