1. Our Story
Our Journey From Anaya Honey to Golden Safari Honey
Our story began in 2015 when our founder, Kudakwashe Makuzwa, was driven by the desire to provide a consistent source of income for local women laborers and lift local communities. She focused on curating high quality honey because it offers a sustainable livelihood and supports the delicate balance of our ecosystem. Beekeeping and harvesting honey fosters community cooperation, environmental stewardship, and local economic development.

3. The Journey of the Honey
At Golden Safari Honey, every jar of honey tells a story—one that begins in the heart of Zimbabwe’s savannah forests and ends on your table, filled with the rich flavors and natural goodness of pure African honey.
The Hive: Where it all begins
Our journey starts deep in the wild landscapes of Zimbabwe, where our beekeepers carefully tend to their hives. These hives are strategically placed among diverse flora, ensuring our bees have access to the best pollen and nectar sources. The bees work tirelessly, gathering nectar from wildflowers, acacias, pine trees, citrus and from the indigenous plants of the Miombo woodland which define the forests of Zimbabwe. The African Honey Bees then create honey that's rich in flavor and full of unique nutritional benefits.
Sustainable Harvesting: A Commitment to Nature
When the hives are full, our beekeepers harvest the honey using traditional, sustainable methods that have been passed down through generations. This careful approach ensures that the bees are not harmed and that the natural balance of the environment is maintained.
From Forest to Jar: Preserving Purity
Once harvested, the raw honey still on combs is brought to our processing facility, where it undergoes minimal processing to retain its raw, natural qualities. We believe in keeping our honey as close to nature as possible, which is why we don’t add any artificial ingredients or preservatives. The result is a product that’s pure, unfiltered, and packed with the natural flavors of Zimbabwe.
To Your Home: Sharing the Golden Treasure
Finally, the honey is carefully packaged and or value added and ready to be shared with the world. Each jar of Golden Safari Honey is a testament to our commitment to quality, sustainability, and the traditions of our beekeepers. Whether you’re drizzling it on your morning toast, stirring it into your tea, using it in your favorite recipes, or incorporating it in your beauty regimes, you’re experiencing the very best of what nature has to offer.

5. Frequently Asked Questions
Quick Answers to Common Questions
Is honey safe for everyone to consume?
Honey is generally safe for most people, but it should not be given to infants under 1 year old due to the risk of botulism. People with allergies to pollen or bee products should consult their doctor before consuming honey.
What are the health benefits of honey?
Honey is rich in antioxidants, enzymes, and natural sugars, which can boost your immune system, soothe a sore throat, and provide a natural energy source. Our infused honey blends offer additional health benefits from ingredients like turmeric and ginger, which are known for their anti-inflammatory properties.
How should I store honey to keep it fresh?
Store honey in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. It’s best kept in a tightly sealed container. Honey may crystallize in cold temperatures or over time, which is a natural process; to re-liquefy it, gently warm the honey in a water bath without exceeding 40°C (104°F).
