EXCLUSIVE JOURNEYS TO AFRICA
Oceans, deserts, jungles, vineyard valleys and endless beaches — we create unforgettable journeys across 14 countries in Southern and East Africa.
Having lived in South Africa for 15 years, we know Africa from the inside and reveal it in a way that feels authentic and deeply personal.
Our Dream Destinations
Africa is multifaceted — wild, refined, and truly alive.
We reveal it through thoughtfully curated journeys across the continent’s finest destinations — from iconic safaris and vineyard valleys to paradise islands and lush tropical jungles.
About Us
Lika Blank is a media executive and producer, former General Producer of CTC and Domashny TV channels, and the founder of animation projects and a children’s development center.
Ksenia Mardina is a journalist and traveler, with publications in National Geographic, The Village, Afisha-Mir, iknow.travel, and Glamour.
We spent years working in media, producing large-scale projects and traveling the world. But one day, we found ourselves in South Africa — and it changed everything.
We stayed to explore the continent from within and to share it with others as we see it.
That was 15 years ago. That’s how Big Magic began.
You couldn't find better guides to Africa.

Kenya: The Great Migration in January 2026
We saw so many lions, hyenas, and cheetahs — and our greatest highlight was a leopard. Even seasoned Africa travelers told us how lucky we were, as spotting a leopard is truly rare.
We travel this beautifully thanks to Big Magic Studio — the absolute best at what they do!

Africa will now always be a part of us.

East Africa: Safari and the Ocean in July 2025
От всей нашей семьи хочу сказать, что это путешествие было прекрасным.
Всё было очень хорошо спланировано: прекрасные отели, прекрасные сафари, поездка получилась прямо в самое сердце.
Нам очень понравился ваш подход к организации тура — от начала знакомства и до конца. Это точно не наша последняя поездка в Африку, мы обязательно вернёмся и снова обратимся к вам.
Спасибо вам!
