About Us

Welcome to Real Africa, the U.K. based safari holiday specialist.

We offer exceptional safari holidays throughout Sub-Saharan Africa, including Tanzania, Botswana, Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, South Africa, Malawi and Namibia.

Whether it is a safari to the sweeping plains of Tanzania or a self-drive itinerary of the Garden Route in South Africa. Whether you want luxury lodges or remote mobile camps, we have something special to suit your interests and requirements.

On our web site we showcase a selection of our most popular safaris and tours, giving details of their itineraries, prices and properties. We can of course tailor any itinerary to match your requirements for that special holiday or honeymoon. Just let us know.
