“An African journey can be a source of discovery internally as well as externally.”

Africa is a continent of different worlds. From the gorilla-dense forests of Uganda to the plains of the Serengeti and the islands of Bazaruto, there are so many different landscapes to explore and experiences to be had, which is what makes it such an exciting destination for independent travellers. Travelling by yourself through Africa can be a defining, deeply enriching experience. It’s often the people that call this place home though who leave the most indelible mark. From their natural hospitality to their spirit of togetherness or simply moving to “African time”, it’s the experiences that you share with others that are often the most powerful.

An absolutely incredible trip

On our trip, Josh and Saffa Tours put together an amazing itinerary, based on what we were into, and they provided us with an absolutely incredible trip. My wife and I love to travel, and have worked with many groups such as Saffa Tours; this trip was, by far, our favorite tour, and Saffa was the best guide group we’ve ever used.

Cape Town at its best, and from all the best angles!

We cannot thank Saffa Tours enough for making our precious time in the Cape the best it could be. I cannot recommend Josh and his company Saffa Tours enough, as they made our time in South Africa in the Cape absolutely amazing and we were looking forward to the holiday because of the great preparation.

Epic private tour guide

We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. Well worth the cost visiting in the Cape area where there are so many things to do. Lightyears ahead of what a larger tour group would be able to put together. From small details to adjusting the daily itinerary on the fly.

We highly recommend Saffa Tours

Never have I encountered such organization, such fire for exploration - to show and to teach, and such willingness to adapt the bespoke tours and plans offered at any moment. We felt understood, we felt appreciated, and we felt that our best interests were always put first.

Amazing experience with Saffa tours

Amazing tour company. Josh helped plan our itinerary around the activities we wanted to do. Due to weather conditions a couple of the activities were cancelled but there were alternatives ready straight away. Rich was our guide and he was a joy to be around. Highly recommend!
