To “send an askari” means to send ahead a trusted scout; a person with a keen ability to discern the facts, record the details, and always come back with the goods. That’s Askari Travel.
Askari founder and principal Muriel Truter has spent over 20 years exploring adventure travel destinations. She has planned, researched and guided both group and private trips, delivering outstanding itineraries to some of the world’s most discerning travellers. Muriel’s knowledge and access to local contacts, guides and raconteurs not only ensure seamless itineraries, but also leaves room for spontaneity and those impromptu moments.
The recent pandemic has highlighted the urgent need for an emergency fund to sustain the great work done by Africa’s tourism industry in local communities and conservation initiatives. This is a call to action to travel partners and operators to safeguard Africa’s future and a guide for travellers who understand the vital importance of supporting companies that go the extra, sustainable, mile.
