Your African
Safari Specialists
Hospitality Afrika Safaris is a boutique style African safaris travel agency and consultancy, based in Johannesburg South Africa and Florida USA. Founded in the early 90’s – our motto “matching people to lodges” is what we’re all about. We specialize in African safaris throughout Southern Africa, East Africa and beyond. We also offer “own use” villas and private safari lodges where small groups and families may occupy the entire property for business or private events. We have access to 6-star lodges in many prime game reserves both on and off the beaten track.
Our relationships and experience have qualified us to orchestrate extraordinary travel ventures, which allow us to offer a wide span of travel possibilities based on personal experience. We have personally visited and assessed over 110 lodges across Southern Africa and beyond our borders. We can even recommend specific rooms/suites to ensure that your own highly personalized requirements are met. We take particular care with each guest and ensure that all their needs are seen to – from the “right” food to the “perfect” pillow, for example.
Any safari can be extended to include unique destinations across South Africa including Cape Town, Durban, the Garden Route, or any of our other “must see” natural wonders to suit your time scale, budget and interests. Our signature “welcome pack” is presented to each guest on arrival to set the tone for our highly personalised and luxury travel experience. We offer a 24/7 concierge service, and one of our “Hospitality Ambassadors” is available for the duration of your stay. We provide exclusive access to benefits and complimentary amenities, such as upgrades, when available. We curate a very special and memorable experience unlike anything you have experienced before. Our service is unique and legendary in the industry.
