On Safari: Our Newest Designs
“If there were one more thing I could do, it would be to go on safari once again.”
Isak Dinesen
At Bombus we’ve spent the past twenty years creating ways for you to remember the most special of moments. From travel adventures, to milestone occasions, or lifelong achievements. We have always strived to design unique and personal art that helps you to preserve those memories.

Bucket List Adventures
When we asked our friends and family what their ultimate dream vacation would be, we had a whole range of responses. But the one that tickled at the back of everyone’s thoughts as the ULTIMATE in holiday experiences, was the SAFARI.
And of course, it is the top of many people’s bucket list.

What is an ethical safari?
An ethical safari pays particular attention to preserving the natural habitat of animals and local human populations. They focus on protecting wildlife, and promote indigenous communities and business.
Remembering your safari adventure
So if you have been lucky enough to encounter wild elephants. Or if you have adventured to the plains of Africa to witness mass migrations or the preservation of endangered species… our newest range of keepsakes might be exactly what you’re looking for!
Inspired by the hopes and dreams of our team, we have designed keepsakes and artwork around some of the most admired animals from outside of the United Kingdom.
WILD FACT
There aren't as many lions as you may think.
There are thought to be as few as 23,000 lions left in the wild. When you think there are around 415,000 wild African elephants, you realise lion numbers are incredibly low. In fact, lions have disappeared from over 90% of their historical range.

Not only do these keepsakes work as the perfect reminder of your once-in-a-lifetime holiday, they also serve as a great way to surprise a loved one with the trip of their dreams.
Instilling a love of wildlife
There are a number of high profile naturalists who spend their lives teaching us that a love of nature is key to a kinder, happier, and healthier planet. And instilling an interest in animal welfare and curiosity in our natural world at a young age is very important to our future as a species.
With a plethora of programmes by David Attenborough, and the fantastic Spring and Autumn Watch hosted by Chris Packham on our screens regularly, it’s hard to ignore the great work that these people are doing for our environment.
So we want to encourage an interest and fascination with nature in as many of you as as we can! Our range of animal gifts are the perfect addition to any nursery or children’s bedroom.
WILD FACT
A giraffe’s neck is too short to reach the ground. To drink, giraffe first have to splay their forelegs and/or bend their knees, and only then can they lower their necks to reach the surface of the water.

Sustainability for Nature
We've spent a long time at Bombus talking to you about our Sustainability Pledge. And this has translated into a lot of our design work. By consciously choosing subject matter that can start a conversation. Sustainability may start at home, but it is a global issue.
