Some passions are inherited. Ours was born on African soil.
A family legacy, expanded and reimagined
Eventure Escapes was founded by Emma Bailey — but the story begins long before that. Emma's father, Steve Bailey, built FollowMe2Africa over 30 years ago, driven by an unshakeable love for the African continent and an instinct for showing people the world in a way that changes them.
Growing up surrounded by that passion, those stories, and that deep respect for the places and people of Africa, it was perhaps inevitable that Emma would find her own way into travel. Eventure Escapes is the next chapter of that family legacy — expanded, reimagined, and shaped by Emma's own sense of adventure.
Alongside iconic African safari experiences, Eventure Escapes takes clients to private islands and extraordinary destinations across the globe, always with the same founding belief: that truly great travel is never accidental. It is crafted, considered, and deeply personal.
“My father taught me that the world rewards those who take the time to truly explore it. Eventure Escapes exists to give you that time — and to make every moment of it extraordinary.”
