“The magic that people search for when they travel doesn‘t come from the place. It comes from the heart.” - Alan Fredericks

The eyes of the world focused on South Africa in 2010, and to a lesser degree, the entire African continent. World Cup offered an opportunity for South Africa to step into the spotlight and shine – it did and it does. At African Travel, Inc., our eyes have been focused on Africa for the past 34 years.

Africa has come a long way since Teddy Roosevelt took his first safari in 1909. Then, there was only one way to go on safari and that was on foot, carrying your tent and provisions with you. Today, there are numerous choices and decisions to be considered when crafting your personal safari experience and we are experts at helping you make the selection that is best for you. We eat, sleep and breathe Africa; this is our passion. Let us share it with you.
