For years planning an African safari has been notoriously complicated and somehow exclusive.<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s\u00a0why we at Timbuktu are striving to make it easier to plan a safari, by empowering the traveller to explore and build their own trip, regardless of experience or budget. It is our vision to showcase the beauty of Africa and inspire everyone to travel this incredible continent.<\/p>\n

As a part of this mission, we have found a collection of travellers that give insights, advice and inspiration with their fantastic images and stories. Here’s our\u00a0list of 9 Instagrammers that’ll help you plan your African trip:<\/p>\n

1. Bushboundgirl<\/h2>\n

Rachel was born into a family of wildlife lovers, and nowadays follows her passion as a freelance photojournalist and blogger. Her Instagram feed takes you right into the heart of Botswana<\/a>, in the Khwai area. Expect lots of great wildlife shots, outdoor showers and authentic on-safari videos. Rachel is a true Africa expert, the kind that you don’t find very often.<\/p>\n

From time to time, he sneaks in a top down food shot to give you a little culinary break in between all this beauty.<\/p>\n

6. Steviemannphotography<\/h2>\n

We could not agree more that Stevie Mann really has what you would call #itsagoodoffice (his designated hashtag). The talented photographer leaves us speechless with his stunning pictures of lodges, activities and magical places. From the island of\u00a0Zanzibar<\/a> to the desert of Namibia<\/a>\u00a0as far as the Okavango Delta<\/a> , we can’t recommend him enough.<\/p>\n
