Out of Africa is proudly owned and operated by Mike and Maureen Massara — a dedicated two-person team with a lifelong passion for succulents. Our specialty is in specimen succulent plants and seedlings from Tropical Africa, Southern Africa, and Madagascar.
Since 1975, we’ve been growing and propagating succulents, drawing inspiration from extensive fieldwork across Ethiopia, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania, Somalia, Socotra, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Zambia, and Madagascar. Having seen nearly every plant we cultivate in its natural habitat during both rainy and dry seasons, we bring a unique perspective and deep understanding to the plants we grow and share.
Our operation is based in Ninety Six, South Carolina, where we carefully nurture each plant. Unless otherwise noted, all plants offered on our website are seedlings or specimens, and the plant pictured is the exact plant you will receive. We stand behind the quality of our plants, and your satisfaction is guaranteed.
