About Us : Our Story
The Safari & Conservation Company was born from a shared heritage, deep friendship, and a lifelong connection to Africa’s wilderness.
Founded by third-generation Kenyans Fuzz Dyer and Andy Roberts, and rooted in the wider Dyer and Roberts families, SCC reflects decades of experience living, working, and raising families in some of East Africa’s most extraordinary landscapes. For both families, safari is not simply a profession; it is a way of life passed down through generations.
Today, the Dyer and Roberts families have grown into one of Kenya's most extensive networks across the hospitality and conservation sectors. Spanning lodges, camps, conservancies, guiding, conservation initiatives, and community partnerships, their combined experience and relationships offer an unparalleled depth of local knowledge and access. Andy Roberts continues to privately guide guests, bringing decades of firsthand experience and a deeply personal perspective to every safari.
Growing up immersed in the rhythms of the bush, camping under canvas, tracking wildlife on foot, and spending time with remote communities shaped a profound respect for the natural world and the cultures that inhabit it. That shared commitment continues across both families today, with multiple generations actively contributing to conservation, hospitality, and the protection of East Africa's wild places. It is this living network of people, knowledge, and purpose that makes SCC uniquely placed to create exceptional journeys with genuine conservation impact.
A Lifetime in the Wild
It's such a privilege to take people out of their comfort zone and let them experience what we've experienced for years. I don't think there’s a better way to really feel alive than to be on Safari.
- Andy Roberts
Rooted In Conservation
Protecting Africa’s landscapes and wildlife is central to everything we do. Through long-standing relationships with conservation initiatives, communities, and property owners, we ensure that every journey contributes positively to the places you visit.
For guests who wish to go further, our 1+1 = 2 Protect Program offers a direct way to support conservation projects across Africa. By contributing an additional 1% of your safari cost, matched by SCC, a total of 2% is directed to initiatives protecting wildlife, habitats, and local communities. Guests can choose which conservation and community projects they would like their contribution to support, creating a more personal connection to the impact of their journey and helping ensure these extraordinary landscapes endure for generations to come.
Our Promise
When you travel with SCC, you experience Africa through the eyes of people who have spent their lives exploring and protecting it, with seamless planning, trusted expertise, and access to extraordinary places. Every journey also directly supports local communities and conservation efforts, ensuring your travels contribute to the people and wildlife that make these places so remarkable.
