The Horn + Crane Experience
The Horn + Crane Story
Travel well with us.
It began, as many good stories do, over a gin and tonic and rush of good fortune. Recognizing an opportunity to help people access the majesty of Africa, Horn + Crane was founded to provide custom travel planning guided by trustworthy local knowledge.
At Horn + Crane we understand that luxury is not about white gloves and silver service, but about attention to detail that allows the quality of the experience to shine through. It is about treading lightly and supporting positive change through the joy of travel.
Our guiding principle — Travel well — embodies this notion. We believe in the power of travel to transform; both our clients and the communities in which we respectfully journey.
Inspired by the numerous exceptional conservancies operating in east Africa, Horn + Crane works to support low impact tourism, sustainable local employment, habitat protection and access to education.
Sometimes life shows you the way forward. For founder, Jenn Stodt, that path led her to Africa, where after years of supporting clients with their travels, Jenn recognized that she could use her expertise and passion for adventure to help others experience their own once-in-a-lifetime African adventure.
What it means to travel well
Made just for you.
This isn’t just marketing speak. Each and every itinerary we design at Horn + Crane is one-of-a-kind and is based on our client’s unique desires. No two experiences are the same, but all are honed to perfection by our trip planning and on-the-ground expertise.
The highest of standards
Beauty. Privacy. Luxurious details. Personalization. We understand the benchmarks of exclusive travel and look to exceed your standards of excellence. With a keen eye to all that is important we ensure you will travel well.
Care for the place
Today, travelling well means travelling lightly. At Horn + Crane that means that respect for place, respect for the natural world, and respect for those who live and work in these areas is of utmost concern. We believe in supporting partners that share this mindset.
Partners on the ground
We have carefully and purposefully chosen partners that provide exceptional experiences in a responsible and respectful manner. We are very proud of our amazing network of local tour operators, lodges, transportation providers and cultural ambassadors.
“Each time I visit Africa, it feels like seeing it for the first time – the people, the landscape, the wildlife are all so vibrant and alive. Africa is endlessly enchanting, and I want to share that enchantment with others”.
