About
We are a family-run business based in Umhlanga Rocks (Kwa Zulu Natal, South Africa) with a passion for travel and twenty years of industry knowledge that has been passed from one generation to another. We believe time is the most valuable gift that we have and we would love to help you fill your time with breath-taking landscapes, indigenous cultures and extraordinary moments with nature and her wildlife. Our handpicked overland tours will take you on a journey to magical places under African skies: elephants wallowing in the Okavango Delta; the vast deserts of Namibia; safaris deep in Tanzania’s grasslands; the wild waterfalls of Zambia; or eye to eye with a whale on South Africa’s coastline. But first we want to get to know you so that, together with our knowledge and love for the details, we can shape your best-suited tour. There is so much to see and do in Southern Africa and we look forward to showing you around!

We recently stayed at Kagga Kamma nature reserve for our elopement ceremony. Sue helped us with a shuttle service from CPT international to the reserve. She was a treat to deal with from the start. She answered all my questions and gave a lot of guidance. We were met at the airport by Greg who assisted us. It wasn't just a shuttle service, it was actually all a brilliant part of the experience. He tought us facts about the areas we drove though, had us laughing most of the time, and got us to our destination beyond promptly. I would highly recommend Safaris for Africa, the service was incredible and the experience was both special and personal. I can't wait to arrange our next trip with Sue again. Definitely a 5 star rating from me!

Sue and Emma were amazing in working with us to customize our Eswatini trip. We had done our own hotel reservations. Sue was Very prompt to answer all our questions and provide suggestions. Thank you Sue and Emma. Dick our guide was fabulous! His sense of humor kept us laughing as we drove sometimes long distances. Dick had deep knowledge of the background and history of Eswatini and its surrounding areas in South Africa. The vehicle was a spacious van, comfortable even on the cobbled roads that were off the beaten track. Dick adjusted some of the hiking based on our age ( we are seniors) and it was very very comfortable as a result. We will remember our trip to Eswatini with great passion and great memories. Would recommend Sue, Emma and Dick for an encore Eswatini tour! Thank you.

We had a plan to go on safari, my fiancee sorted out her ideas and Sue put together a great plan and kept us in the loop the whole time... When we arrived she was in touch sorting out and confirming things... Flights, details etc, great supportive help... An absolute star... We had a great time and would whole heartedly recommend any safari newbies discuss their views with her as she ll get the right itinerary for you, thanks Sue, we had a fab time!

Loved, loved, loved SA and that’s thanks to Sue and her team who took such good care of us throughout our travels! The accommodations were perfectly chosen, the guides were knowledgeable and treated us like family and our itinerary included everything we should see in SA. Could not have asked for anything better!

We spent two weeks traveling South Africa with a large group. Every single day was so easy - we showed up and our whole day was planned and incredible. All accommodations were top-notch; Sue was so attentive and available to the whole group. Murray and Fred were hilarious, informative, and made us feel safe and taken care of the whole time. We had an amazing trip! Would recommend Safaris for Africa to anyone.

I booked a Safari based on the beauty and user friendliness of the Safaris For Africa website. What got me hooked was how helpful Sue was throughout the inquiry and booking process. Sue and Fred meet us at our resort and bought coffee and tea and talked to us almost and hour. WHO DOES THAT ANYMORE. We were flabbergasted at the level of genuine friendliness that they was shown toward us. Sue says its just the personal touch she believes customer service should be. Lastly my wife had passport issues so she was late joining us. Fred picked her up from the airport prior to taking us to Leopard Mountain. I tried to pay her extra, but she wouldn't take it. If you're booking anything in South Africa, check with Safaris for Africa before you call anyone else.

Fantastic tour of Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift battlefields. My tour guide, Fred, was great - a really nice man, the settings are beautiful, and I learned lots about the battles and related history. The tour was really well organised and couldn’t have gone any better. I totally recommend this company to other travellers.

We had an amazing experience with Sue’s company! We took a tour to the Cape Point with Greg, who was an extremely knowledgeable and charismatic guide. Would definitely recommend safaris for Africa for any type of trip!!

We have just returned from our first visit to South Africa, and we asked Sue and Emma to help us with our plans for a safari in the Kruger Park. Sue not only selected two fantastic parks she was also able to help us plan several tours during our cruise from Capetown to Mozambique. Every detail was was discussed beforehand and executed so well by Sue and her team of very helpful and knowledgeable tour guides. Dick Maree was particularly experienced and enthusiastic. Sue kept in touch throughout our holiday and there is no doubt that the happiness and contentment of the customer is at the centre of everything they do. I have no hesitation in recommending Safaris For Africa and we have already done so to many friends and family. We look forward to working with our friends at SFA for our return journey in the not too distant future.
