We
understand that selecting and booking your safari or tour on-line
can be a daunting task. The following suggestions are intended
to make your task easier. If, after reading this, any of your
queries remain unanswered please do not hesitate to
contact us.
- Begin by deciding what
country you would like to visit. Select the country option
from the safaris and tours page and view the safaris for those
countries. By looking at the entire selection you will familiarise
yourself with our products and gain a better understanding
of the type of trip you intend to take
- It then follows that you are able to select the type of
safari that appeals to you. If you're interested in one of
our "tried and tested" scheduled safaris, book this
first as the departure dates are fixed. This will make it
easier to add any of our à la carte safaris to your
itinerary. You are free to choose when you would like to travel
on these à la carte safari modules
- Finally, once you have compiled your dream itinerary, complete
the on-line information request form and submit it to our
reservations department. You can expect an immediate response
(with allowance for time differences). An e-mail copy of your
booking request containing all the relevant details will then
be forwarded to you
- Thereafter you will be contacted by one of our reservations
staff who will guide you through the final details of making
your booking with Afro Ventures. Please note that confirmed
reservations cannot be made without the relevant deposit.
The balance is due to Afro Ventures eight weeks in advance
for overseas bookings and six weeks in advance for local bookings.
Please read the
terms and conditions
- A Safari Dossier will be sent to you once the reservation
has been confirmed
Choosing a Country
Africa is a land of allure and mystery - vast and uncharted
on any commercial tourist map - it is a place of profoundly
personal experience. Moreover the magnificent and varied landscape
of Southern Africa will satisfy any traveller's quest.
Each country has its "big attraction" like Victoria
Falls in Zimbabwe, Okavango Delta in Botswana, Sossusvlei in
Namibia etc., but for the traveller to Africa, these are only
the biggest gems in a trunk of jewels. Each journey into Africa
becomes intertwined with a myriad other experiences and each
country has its unique nuances that blend to result in a most
rewarding experience. In order to make an informed selection
indulge yourself with romantic novels, travel journals and encyclopaedias,
or browse our site and gather all the information you need to
choose your destination. And when you've made your choice let
us take you on an effortless and extraordinary journey into
this land of wonders.

Planning Your Safari
For most people, a safari to Africa is the realisation of a
dream of a lifetime. We understand that it can be an expensive
adventure and for that reason have put together some guidelines
that will help you in planning your safari. Before you begin,
there are several questions you should ask yourself:
- How much time do I have to travel?
- What is my budget?
- What time of year should I travel?
- Where would I like to go?
- What are my special interests?
- Are there any special activities I'm interested in?
- Do I need to make any special travel arrangements like:
visas?
- Are there any medical considerations?
Once you have answered most of these questions, you will have
a more focused idea of the type of safari that will be most
rewarding and enjoyable for you. The next step is finding one
