There’s something timeless about a well-made safari chair. Designed for comfort, portability and beauty, each piece in our safari chair collection reflects the spirit of Africa’s great camps and the craftsmanship of our Victoria Falls workshop. These chairs are built for life outdoors, yet refined enough to complement lodge interiors, verandas and private homes.
Every chair is handmade from sustainably sourced African hardwoods such as Zambezi Teak and African Mahogany.
Our safari chairs fold, swivel, or pack down easily, making them practical for safari camps and lodges. Our clients use them for guest suites, dining decks, bomas and outdoor lounges, while private homeowners value their safari aesthetic and understated luxury. Many of our chairs have earned their place in some of Africa’s finest lodges and private collections. Each piece carries the craftsmanship and reliability The African Touch is known for.

What makes The African Touch safari chairs different from other brands? Each safari chair is handmade in Victoria Falls from sustainably sourced African hardwoods like Zambezi Teak and African Mahogany. We use solid brass fittings, full-grain leather, and safari-grade canvas to ensure strength, comfort, and longevity. Every piece is built to handle real outdoor conditions while looking refined in any lodge or home.
Are your safari chairs suitable for both indoor and outdoor use?
Yes. Our safari chairs are designed for the African outdoors but look equally good indoors. We recommend applying a light coat of furniture oil to protect the wood if it’s exposed to moisture or sun for long periods.
Do the safari chairs fold for easy storage or transport?
Most of our designs, including the Safari Camp Director’s Chair, Classic Safari Director’s Chair, and Compact Safari Folding Chair – The Mara, are foldable and easy to carry. They’re ideal for mobile safaris, verandas, or camp setups that need to be packed away quickly.
Can I customize the material or finish of my safari chair?
Yes. You can choose between canvas or leather seat covers, and several wood finishes are available. We also offer branded engraving or embossing for lodge and hospitality clients.
How do I care for my safari chair to ensure it lasts for years?
Wipe the wood with a soft, damp cloth and reapply a high-quality natural wood oil twice a year. Leather should be conditioned with a neutral cream, and canvas can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Avoid storing the chairs while damp.
Where are your safari chairs used?
Our chairs are found in leading safari lodges and hotels across Africa, including Singita, Wilderness Destinations, and The Victoria Falls Hotel. Many private homeowners also use them on patios, verandas, and dining areas for a touch of safari style.
