A Wonderful Evening of Friendship, Safaris & Giving Back!

What a wonderful evening we had! A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for our South African Braai in Greenwich, CT, as well as those who sent their good wishes from afar. With clear skies, a few shiny new heaters to keep us warm, a delicious buffet, a well-stocked wine table and Baba Kazi’s wonderful beats, it was such a pleasure to bring together friends, clients and our local community for an evening of good company and a great cause.

Raising $4,000 for Uthando

One of the highlights of the evening was our safari raffle, which raised approximately $4,000 for Uthando, an organization close to our hearts. These funds will help support James and the incredible community projects Uthando champions in South Africa, making a meaningful difference in the lives of the people they serve.

Watch this special thank-you message from James, sharing his appreciation with everyone who attended and donated!

Two Lucky Winners, Two Incredible African Safaris!

Of course, there was plenty of excitement when it came time to draw the winning raffle tickets!

Thanks to our generous sponsors, we were able to offer two fantastic safari prizes:

An eight-night South African safari, featuring some of the country’s finest wildlife destinations in Thornybush and Sabi Sands Game Reserve.
An eight-night safari combining Victoria Falls and Botswana’s Okavango Delta, offering a wonderful mix of spectacular scenery and wildlife experiences.

Needless to say, our two lucky winners were absolutely delighted, and we can’t wait to help them experience these incredible destinations!

For those who couldn’t attend, or whose tickets weren’t drawn, the good news is that every raffle contribution went toward a wonderful cause. If you’d like to continue supporting Uthando’s important work, you can also make a donation directly through their website.

There’s Still a Chance to Win a Free Safari!

And don’t forget, there’s another opportunity to enjoy a safari on us!

Our Free Safari Referral Offer is still running. Simply refer a friend who books a safari with African Portfolio by November 30, 2026, and you’ll have another chance to win a complimentary African safari.

There’s still time, so spread the word!

A Special Thank You to Our Generous Sponsors

We couldn’t have offered such wonderful safari prizes without the support of our valued industry partners. Our sincere thanks go to:
