SAVE WITH US
When you book with us it costs you the same ( if not cheaper ) than if you make the booking yourself ! This is because we have specially negotiated rates with all southern African suppliers due to our volumes of business and we make our money on the difference between their advertised public rates and our specially negotiated rates. We also have access to special offers or discounts which are not always readily available to the public or international travel trade. Our added value is in being able to expertly assist you with all your travel planning, answering your questions and supplying you with all necessary travel documentation including a personalised itinerary portfolio with maps, brochures on places where you will be staying and suggestions on what to see and do when you get there and what to read up on before you leave on your holiday. It is a win win situation whereby you save on time and money and we provide our expertise to ensure that your holiday plans run smoothly and suit your requirements and budget.

WE PERSONALLY CHOOSE OUR ACCOMMODATION
We offer the widest choice of hand selected accommodation from extravagantly luxurious to simple and comfortable in southern Africa. We are not an accommodation reservation website- all our accommodation is personally selected by us for charm, stunning location and warm hospitality and has been used by us in our tour packages. We are continually visiting all our featured lodges, guest houses and hotels and more importantly, researching new destinations and itineraries for our clients.

GUIDES AND STAFF
We know that an escorted tour's success is largely determined by the quality of your guide. All our guides are qualified and highly experienced individuals, many with additional special interest knowledge on specific subjects and regions. Privately booked tours may be conducted in most foreign languages including English, French, German, Portuguese and Spanish. Members of our staff speak French and German. Travel in Africa is an owner run business. All staff are extremely passionate about southern Africa, have traveled ( and continue to travel ) extensively themselves and have the "hands on" experience to advise and plan according to your budget and needs.

TRAVEL SERVICES
There are many different ways of traveling in southern Africa. We find that many of our more independent travelers or families prefer to rent a car and drive themselves on a self drive tour. We make all the necessary travel arrangements for you and provide you with a detailed itinerary, maps, brochures and advice on what to do and see and off you go, the ideal hassle free way to arrange a holiday ! Another option for a more informative and relaxed trip is to either join a small group of like minded travelers on a guided tour or let us arrange a private tailor made guided tour for you. The benefits are not worrying about distances and driving and enjoying a more indepth experience of the country. We have a wide variety on this site for you to choose from or will gladly plan a tailor made tour or safari for you.

TRAVEL TRADE
For our partners in the travel trade, we offer our experience with large incentive groups, leisure groups, tailor made family safaris, honeymooners and self drive tours. We enjoy a number of longstanding partnerships with international wholesale operators and can offer you extremely competitive rates with unbeatable service (   24 hour response to incoming enquiries ). We know the countries we represent, have traveled to most accommodation offered on this site and can give first hand knowledge to you and your clients
