Success Stories

Rose Topisian

Managing Director, Belo Luxury Safaris

The adventure travel space has historically (read: always) been dominated by men—they’re hailed as the intrepid explorers, the bold mountain climbers, the daredevil divers. But things have changed, and it’s all thanks to women like Rose Topisian, founder of Belo Luxury Safaris a tour operator that helps adventurous travelers, honeymooners and milestoners plan and enjoy life greatest journeys!

Travel's ability to transform you is as important as its power to help others – the animals, the local communities, and the land. With this in mind, Belo Luxury Safaris designs every itinerary exclusively for our clients and using options carefully chosen for their impact on others.  We create a safe and comfortable space for our clients to reconnect with themselves on our safaris.  Through the simple and powerful act of traveling with us our clients will return home a different person and knowing that they have helped support and sustain fragile communities and extraordinary wild spaces that remain.

In addition Belo Luxury Safaris Offers meticulously curated itineraries for female travelers of all abilities (trips span everything from trekking to Kilimanjaro to mother-daughter trips to Maasai Mara), the company’s mission lies in pushing its guests to launch themselves out of their comfort zones (say, lion tracking with Mom?) while educating them about the lives of other women around East Africa. 

“We, as women, travel for many reasons, but all of us seek greater understanding about ourselves along the way,” says Rose.

“We’re kind of a tribe of sorts, seeking other like-minded spirits to share our adventures with. So, if you want to make travel experiences really transformational for women, it’s probably best if women are driving the ship.”
