ecoAfrica Travel is the inbound eco tour operator behind www.ecoafrica.com, which pioneered online promotion of ecotourism to Africa back in 1995.  Since then we have arranged over 9,000 tours to the African bush for over 20,000 delighted travellers, primarily from the US and major European countries.

We arrange your flights, accommodation, safari and transfers. Our travel consultants provide an efficient service, and are online weekdays from 7am to 4pm African time, for live travel advice.  We add value to the selection process by giving visitors the opportunity to make an informed decision between different products from select operators and we quote you the same price as our operators themselves would, and receive a referral commission on bookings from the operator in question. Our clientele hails predominantly from the US and Europe.

We focus on true ecotourism, defined by the International Ecotourism Society as:

“Responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and sustains the well-being of local people”

We screen our products and give recognition to products on the following criteria:

• Nature - Experience the authentic Africa, its wildlife and wilderness.

• Ethics - Not be promoting the luring, taming or killing of wildlife for entertainment.

• Education - Come away with a deeper understanding and appreciation of the continent’s unique natural and cultural environment.

• Footprint - Support low impact, ecologically sensitive facilities and services.

• Community - Contribute to sustainable economic and community development.

• Conservation - Contribute to meaningful environmental research or nature conservation.

• Empowerment - Hosts who practice local citizen empowerment.

ecoAfrica Travel offers trips to South Africa, Angola, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Kenya, Tanzania and Gabon. We are presently expanding our destinations to include the Seychelles, Mozambique and Madagascar.

At ecoAfrica Travel, you can select your type of safari - you may wish to interact with local communities, researchers, expert guides, scientists or veterinarians on a special interest safari or prefer to stay at your chosen lodge while exploring your surroundings daily. Accommodation includes safari tents (some rustic, others with en suite bathroom and private viewing decks), thatched cottages and bungalows and elegant African lodges.

A wide range of safari activities are on offer at ecoAfrica Travel. Overland camping trips, luxury safaris and adventure journeys can be further enhanced by the way an ecosystem is explored - on horseback, in a traditional mokoro (dugout canoe), by boat, hot-air balloon or Cessna plane, in an overland vehicle, microbus or 4x4.

At ecoAfrica Travel, we respect the fact that selecting a safari in Africa can be a rather daunting task, and we offer our services, backed by local knowledge and years of experience, in facilitating the selection of a safari that will exceed your expectations.
