Trade the savannah for white sands and warm Indian Ocean waters. Your ocean view veranda, the resort pool, the spa — and the kind of unhurried days that only an island can offer.

Browse Safaris →Every safari is conceived around you — your rhythm, your appetite for adventure, your definition of extraordinary. We never fit people into itineraries. We build itineraries around people.
With direct partnerships across trusted suppliers managing Africa's finest off-grid lodges, we provide access to extraordinary places you won't find on any booking site. We know the landscapes, and we know the people who bring them to life.
From the very first call to your return home, your journey is overseen personally by someone born and raised in Africa, with first-hand knowledge of its lodges, its people, and its rhythms — and a genuine commitment to every detail.
"The finest travel should feel as though it was created exclusively for you — because it was."
How It Works →Destination Africa is a tailor-made safari and luxury travel agency, designing extraordinary African journeys for people who want to do it properly.
Every enquiry is received personally. Every journey is conceived from scratch. There are no fixed packages, no group departures, no compromises. From a private game reserve in Zimbabwe to the Great Migration in the Serengeti, each experience is designed to feel exactly as it should: effortless, extraordinary, and entirely yours.
Twenty years of experience, 800+ journeys completed, and a network built on genuine relationships with the guides, camps and operators who make Africa extraordinary. Every detail handled. Every question answered by someone who has actually been there.
Our Story →The wrong lodge. The wrong season. A routing that added six hours of road travel when a forty-minute charter existed. These mistakes cost thousands and ruin once-in-a-lifetime trips. A lifetime in the bush means you do not have to learn the hard way.
Some of Africa's finest, most authentic camps are not listed publicly. They partner only with trusted specialists. Through long-standing relationships built over twenty years, we open doors to properties and experiences that simply are not available anywhere online.
Our service comes at no additional cost to you. We source authentic African experiences and negotiate the best available rates, with added benefits and the full security of ABTA bonding. You get more for the same price.

Enquire →Our honeymoon to Cape Town was truly the journey of a lifetime. From Table Mountain to Robben Island, the Cape of Good Hope to a private game reserve, every experience had been thoughtfully chosen and perfectly arranged. When weather threatened our plans, everything was seamlessly rescheduled without a moment of stress. The attention to detail and genuine care put into every element of the trip was extraordinary.
An exceptional level of organisation from start to finish. I booked an extensive 22-day African journey spanning 3 countries, 7 flights, and numerous transfers and hotels, and was genuinely impressed that every single element was perfectly coordinated. Every accommodation and guide exceeded expectations. If you are considering an African safari, look no further. The expertise here is the real thing.
Dalene organised the most wonderful trip to South Africa for me and my partner, and I cannot recommend her services highly enough. Every element ran perfectly, from flights and hotels to transfers, all arranged with exceptional attention to detail. Although I've lived in various parts of Africa for much of my life, I would never have created the itinerary Dalene put together. Her deep knowledge of South Africa meant she understood exactly what we were looking for.
These are not packages. They are curated starting points, each one adapted entirely to your dates, your preferences, and your definition of extraordinary. All prices are on application.
