Welcome to the Amari's Safari Collection
Inspirational Children's African Safari Books
Adventure with Purpose.
Stories with Heart.
Welcome to a world where storytelling meets the soul of the wild.
Here you’ll find an evolving collection of children’s stories written with love, curiosity, and a deep respect for nature. Some books are already with publishers, some will soon be gracing bookshelves, and others are still taking shape — but all are part of a shared mission: to inspire young readers through adventure, empathy, and the quiet wisdom of the natural world.
At the heart of these stories is Amari, a spirited young safari guide with a boundless love for the African bush. Alongside her seven lively cousins, Amari journeys into the wilderness — a place full of beauty, challenges, and life lessons. Guided by animal mentors and the rhythms of the wild, the children discover how nature solves problems not through pride or force, but through patience, understanding, and heart.
Each story is part of a themed collection that encourages emotional intelligence and resilience. Whether facing fears, dealing with exclusion, or learning how to stand up for others, young readers are shown gentle ways of working through life’s challenges — inspired by the survival strategies and social behaviours of wild animals.Some stories stand alone. Others continue across books, offering familiar friends and fresh lessons. All are infused with warmth, wonder, and a quiet sense of guidance.
Nature always has the answers - you just need to listen.

AMARI'S SUMMER SECRETS:
The Magic of Maabwe Bay
School's out, and adventure awaits! When young Amari is invited by Uncle Richy to spend her summer holidays at the tranquil Maabwe Bay on the shores of Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe, she has no idea how magical the trip will be. There, she meets Matt the Cane Rat and his gentle family, who guide her through a summer filled with wonder and wisdom.
Together, they explore the rhythms of nature - from the haunting cry of the fish eagle and the soothing beat of distant African drums to peaceful stargazing under the vast Kariba sky. Through every moment — helping at the campsite, fishing on the lake, and connecting with the flora and fauna of the African animal kingdom — Amari learns the power of mindfulness, patience, and the joy in life’s simple treasures.
A heart-warming addition to any child's bookshelf, especially for those curious about Africa, wildlife, or mindful living.
“Magic lives in the moments we pause,
to feel the breeze,
to hear the birdsong, and remember that
the Earth is our oldest teacher.”
~ Amari
