Founded in 1976, African Travel Inc. uses its expertise and knowledge of the destinations to create deluxe prearranged and customizable vacations. The company operates solely in Africa.

Expert guides lead game-viewing excursions, nature walks and city tours, while upscale lodge and camp accommodations and elegant dining venues round out the experience. Itineraries might include exciting activities such as nighttime game viewing, tracking animals on foot or floating down a waterway in a mokoro, a type of canoe.

African Travel offers two types of escorted itineraries -- private vacations and small-group tours. For private departures, you can choose any day to begin your trip, travel independently and enjoy exclusive sightseeing. Small-group departures are for four to 12 guests and depart on scheduled dates.
