Africa called.
Mike came home.

A lifetime of discovering Southern Africa.
A personal invitation to share it.

HONEYBADGER / SOUTH AFRICAExplore a little closer.

The man behind the journey

A love for the wild.
A feel for the sea.

Mike CattonFounder of Honeybadger Tours

Mike grew up in South Africa with British parents and has travelled across Southern Africa, from Cape Town to Kruger National Park.

He spent several years living and working in the UK, before returning to the country of his birth. His passion for Africa’s wildlife and coast led him to create Honeybadger Tours and share those experiences with travellers from the UK.

The approach is personal: small groups, local insight and care from airport pick-up to departure drop-off.

The Honeybadger approach

Small enough
to feel personal.

Mike’s published approach is a maximum of six guests, with personalised attention throughout the trip.

Honeybadger does not conduct tours on behalf of other UK operators.
