The Soul Behind the Safari: Our Journey into Motorcycle Adventures

Hi! I’m Denise, the founder of Safaris for the Soul. I started Safaris for the Soul to provide people with the opportunity to experience the world in the most unique and wonderful way - on two wheels. I realised these journeys were transformative and life-changing and decided to share it with the world with a personal touch - authentic local experiences, stunning boutique accommodation and routes that we research personally - new and wonderful.  

Safaris for the Soul began for me 20 years ago with a single motorcycle ride through the Indian Himalaya — a ride that would change everything. Nervous, excited, and completely unaware of just how much this path would shape me, I set off leading my very first motorcycle tour.

The altitude, the unpredictable weather, the sheer scale of those mountains... it tested me in every way. But somewhere between the dizzying switchbacks and the starlit Himalayan skies, I realised I was exactly where I was meant to be. That ride became more than just a challenge — it became the beginning of a lifelong calling.

Since then, the road has taken me across countries and continents, from remote valleys to sweeping coastlines. I’ve fallen in love with wild places, quiet towns, and the kind of sunrises that make you believe in magic. But most importantly, it's been about the people — the riders who trusted me with their dreams and the friendships that have lasted long after the last kilometre.

Today, Safaris for the Soul isn’t just a motorcycle tour company. It’s a way of life — exploring horizons, connecting with cultures, and riding with passion. And after 20 years of adventure travel, I can say with certainty: the road is still just beginning.
