Why our Africa is different

More than most destinations, Southern Africa needs to be navigated carefully and done well.

How is the serious traveler to choose from among hundreds of safari camps and the dozens of safari operators selling them?

Choose for both expertise and creativity.
Avoid companies which sell cookie-cutter trips.
Avoid companies who fill camps that they own or operate
But most of all: Choose a company that puts your needs first.

At Heritage Tours Private Travel:

  • We believe that each client is unique and each trip should reflect that.
  • Your interests come first.
  • You get honest and informed guidance
  • Your safari camps are hand-picked. We mix and match the best large operators (such as &Beyond, Wilderness, Sanctuary and Orient Express) to give you a wide range of experiences. We also work with a number of small, less-known family-run camps. Most importantly, we only sell safari camps we trust.
For many clients, before they travel, it is all about the animals. When they return, however, the first thing they talk about is the people.
  • We believe Africa is more than a collection of safari camps.
  • We think outside the box.
  • We believe in responsible tourism and in giving back to the local communities.
  • We offer you exclusive access to places closed to the public.
  • We offer people-to-people tourism.
  • We offer opportunities for involvement with community projects.
  • We offer off-the-beaten path experiences.
  • We understand both luxury and value.
  • We offer the steady hand of experience and one point of responsibility.
  • VIP treatment and excellent 24/7 in-country support.

Heritage Tours Private Travel has earned its reputation not as the largest or best-known cookie-cutter safari outfitter, but as the most creative hands-on provider of out-of-the-box African experiences.

Heritage Tours Private Travel offers a vibrant, authentic and fascinating Africa that includes top safari camps, cultural and historical experiences and authentic interaction with Africa’s people.
