Oct 2020 Update – Travel & Adventure

As Covid19 bought our economy to a screeching halt, the world had to improvise in order to stay afloat, and so did we! Adapting and growing with these challenges is the best and only way to look the future right in the eyes and take this new normal head-on.

Today, we are here, fighting back and looking towards a brighter future.

Travel with Confidence

Our COVID related policy will evolve as time allows, and as we monitor the health recommendations. Our commitment to keeping our travellers safe is growing, and our sense of adventure is ready to explore Africa and travelling locally even more!

We will be ready and present to support our travellers. Your safety is our priority, and we are preparing to make travel arrangements for the future.
