In 2015, Samuel Afari decided to take the plunge and invest in the hospitality sector out of which came Acqua Safari, a tourist resort set to be ground-breaking in the environmental movement at the time.
In 2020, he launched The Safari Valley resort cited in the Eastern Region of Ghana.
The Safari Valley Resort focuses more on forest resources, wildlife resources, theatre, Arts, and more importantly culture while giving you the ocean and marine environment.
Safari Valley is home to dozens of species of wildflowers and wildlife with local and exotic animals such as antelopes, zebra’s, giraffes. It incorporates natural elements like plants, earth, and water.
Afari Dartey has plans to replicate this in every region of Ghana with Safari Palm Lands in the western region and Safari royal gardens soon to hit the Ashanti region.
Each region will be designed based on the peculiarity of the people.
His greatest joy is to turn this into an economic potential and create massive jobs for the youth.
