Ellie Hill
From her first wild elephant sighting in Tanzania over 20 years ago, Ellie Hill has been passionate about the wildlife and landscapes of East Africa. After spending five years traveling the region, managing lodges and setting up camps, Ellie now uses that ground experience on the other side of the world in Southlake. Her company The Safari Specialist is dedicated solely to travel in Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda. Ellie says she tailors every itinerary specific to each client, whether they are a honeymoon couple or a large group of friends.
“From a classic photographic safari to the Serengeti, a Kilimanjaro climb, diving in Zanzibar or trekking to see mountain gorillas, every detail is finely tuned to suit the travelers,” Ellie says. “Every trip goes beyond my clients’ expectations.”
Since opening The Safari Specialist, Ellie’s clientele has expanded to all over the world from Australia to Hong Kong. With a crew of outstanding safari guides, Ellie has built the company on the foundations of sustainable tourism with every safari contributing to local communities and conservation.
