Welcome to African Journeys!
African Journeys is part of the Tailor-made Groups Company, whose Directors have some 60 years of experience in operating group tours throughout the world.
The Perfect Partnership:Our African Journeys programme is operated in conjunction with our African partners, who are completely African based and know their continent as only a local operator can. With their expertise we can bring you the best of African travel together with the benefits and security that comes from booking and travelling with a UK registered company offering full ATOL protection and bonding to give you the peace of mind that you need when travelling in Africa. Tailor-made Itineraries:The essence of African Journeys is freedom and flexibility; the chance to personalise your tour. Rather than offer a completely packaged itinerary at mouth-watering prices, we cater for every budget by offering a basic tour price and then allowing you to pick and mix which optional excursions you want to add to your tour. You can put together a Tailor-made tour to fit with your requirements and budget, yet benefit from the cost savings that come with a group tour. Competitive pricingBecause our African partners run their own fleet of vehicles and are completely Africa based, our prices can be extremely competitive. Most of our prices are in a tiered structure with a basic tour price paid to us in the UK and a second, local, payment which is paid in USD cash on joining the tour. The two part payment system saves you money as the local payment goes directly towards paying for entry fees, food supplies, National Park Fees and other on-trip expenses, thereby avoiding attracting commissions or exchange fees.
The Top Ten African Journeys:There is so much to do and see in Africa that it is difficult to know where to start. With that in mind our African Journeys programme consists of what we feel are the top ten African Journeys, across East, Central and southern Africa. Flight Arrangements:African Journeys are sold exclusive of flights, but our office can book your flights from the UK for you, offering full ATOL protection to offer the complete journey from your door to the heart of Africa. |

Why Choose African Journeys?Our staff has between them over 60 years’ experience of operating tours worldwide. And our African partner has been operating overland adventures throughout southern and eastern Africa for over 20 years. Being an Africa-based company, with three operational bases in Africa, in Cape Town, Victoria Falls and Nairobi, means they are very hands on with what is happening in and around Eastern and southern Africa and can provide comprehensive local back-up to all of our tours. Each of the bases have fully functional workshops, complete with qualified mechanics, where vehicles are serviced and equipment checked and cleaned before and after each trip.
A word of warningTravel in Africa is often unpredictable, and the only thing we can predict with certainty is that things will not always go according to plan. These are not luxury tours and on journeys of this kind you should expect the unexpected. You may at times be dusty, dirty, wet or hot; or all of these at the same time! If you are prepared to approach your journey with a spirit of adventure and a positive approach then both you and your fellow passengers will get more out of the journey. But if you are not comfortable with this attitude then an African Journey may not be for you. How to Book?Just click on ‘How to Book’ and start your African Journey!

African Journeys want you to experience Africa without spending a fortune. To help you on your way we're offering you a number of incredible African Overland Tour Specials.
Our overland journeys use one of a fleet of specially built safari vehicles and on most of our journeys we provide three crew members: the Trip Leader, the Driver and the Safari cook, and having three crew is, we believe, a big bonus. Whilst our Trip Leaders are often ex-passengers who have developed a passion for Africa, our drivers and safari cooks are local people and travelling with knowledgeable African crew provides more of an insight into the African culture and environment. Our crew are there to share their passion for Africa with you.
