Famous Africa

Famous Africa plans bespoke journeys through Southern Africa, East Africa, Madagascar — and Antarctica.

This is not a booking engine. Every trip is designed individually around your interests, your pace and the way you like to travel, drawing on trusted relationships with Africa's leading safari lodges, boutique retreats and premium transport partners.

BROWSE THIRTEEN DESTINATIONS Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Antarctica — each with an orientation to what the country is actually like, the gateway airports trips start from, and the regions within it worth giving nights to.

KNOW WHEN TO GO A month-by-month picture for every destination that has one, so you can see at a glance when a place is at its best — and what the shoulder seasons trade away.

ENTRY AND VISAS What each country asks of visitors, including the yellow fever certificate rules that are the requirement most often missed, with a link to the official source for your own passport.

CURATED JOURNEYS Journeys already shaped with lodges and operators, from Zambia's Victoria Falls and South Luangwa to East Africa's migration country. Each one is a starting point rather than a fixed departure.

SAVE WHAT YOU LIKE Star destinations and journeys as you browse. Your shortlist stays on your device — there is no account to create and nothing to sign up for.

TALK TO A PERSON When you are ready, send an enquiry and Colette van Zyl replies personally. WhatsApp and phone are there too.

Famous Africa is the trading name of Colz Tourism Services (Pty) Ltd, a SATSA member.
