Celebrating 30 Years | 1982 - 2012


It seems like only yesterday when my parents, after returning from a trip to Germany, showed me a children's card game that would be the beginning of Safari Ltd®. Its theme was endangered species. The year was 1979.

A few years later in 1986, we signed the most important license agreement in the company's history with the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. This license allowed us to produce authentic, scale-model dinosaur figures with the collaboration of their paleontologists.

25 years later, children, adult collectors and educators worldwide enjoy purchasing these unique replicas.

As a fascinating side-note, I discovered that some of the original painters in the factory are still painting some of the same Carnegie dinosaurs 25 years later.

This collection has longevity thanks to you!

The founders of Safari Ltd®, my parents and Alexandre's grandparents, had a passion to share the unique beauty of wildlife with children.

After 3 generations, Safari Ltd® continues to forge ahead with their vision.

For 2012, we are offering an abundant of delightful products that assist
in "the joy of play".

Our toys are inspired by nature, fueling the imagination and speaking
to the innate curiosity in all of us.

We thank all of you for our 30 years in business and
we hope to enjoy another 30!
