Dreaming of Africa?
Stop dreaming and turn those dreams into reality!
It's time to discover the Africa you've always dreamed of visiting.
We are here to accompany you on your journey and do everything we can to make your exploration of this vast, beautiful and fascinating part of the world truly unforgettable.
Discover the very best of South Africa! Take a look at our sample photographic itinerary, which can, of course, be adapted entirely to your wishes and preferences.
Come face to face with the famous Big Five and experience the extraordinary diversity of Africa's wildlife and natural landscapes. Your first encounter with a herd of elephants or a pride of lions will be a memory you treasure forever. Visit the renowned Kruger National Park or one of the many private game reserves, where an African safari accompanied by experienced, qualified rangers becomes a truly exceptional experience.
Enjoy breathtaking scenery, from the spectacular Blyde River Canyon — one of the largest and greenest canyons in the world — to the dramatic Drakensberg Mountains and the scenic Garden Route along the magnificent coastline of the Indian Ocean. Stop at Cape Agulhas, the southernmost point of the African continent, where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet.
Take the cable car to the summit of Table Mountain and admire unforgettable views of Cape Town. With its magnificent mountain backdrop and the wild Atlantic Ocean, Cape Town is rightly considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Soak up the atmosphere of this vibrant, cosmopolitan city and enjoy freshly caught seafood in its excellent restaurants.
Visit some of the world's finest wine estates and taste wines produced with passion, dedication and family traditions dating back, in some cases, to the 17th century. Discover the fascinating history of winemaking in the Cape.
Capture your own memorable photograph at the Cape of Good Hope, a legendary destination that has inspired travellers for centuries.
Dive with sharks, watch whales, penguins and seals, encounter herds of elephants, zebras and wildebeest, and admire majestic giraffes and hippos. The list could go on forever. Or simply enjoy the peace of the African bush or relax on beautiful, secluded beaches.
Discover the traditions and cultures of South Africa's Rainbow Nation, as Nelson Mandela famously called it. Zuzana, your Czech- and English-speaking guide, knows South Africa as her second home. Having lived here for more than 27 years, she will share fascinating stories, local insights and experiences drawn from everyday South African life.
There are so many UNESCO World Heritage Sites and extraordinary places we would love to show you that describing them all would fill an entire book.
Let your imagination run wild and tell us what you would most like to see and experience.
From camping in rustic wilderness camps in the middle of nowhere to staying in luxurious private lodges with their own airstrips and a glass of champagne waiting on arrival. From hiking adventures to spectacular helicopter flights or hot-air balloon rides offering a bird's-eye view of Africa.
Travel by minivan or private yacht, or choose one of our suggested routes as a starting point.
Tailor-made journeys are our speciality! From luxurious escapes to more affordable adventures, we create itineraries to suit different budgets, interests and travel styles.
Making your African dreams come true is both our speciality and our pleasure. Forget mass-market package tours with rigid schedules. Tell us what you wish for, and we'll do our very best to make it happen — within reason, of course! :-)
