About Divine Africa

Our story, our founder and the team

behind every private journey.

Our Story

Divine Africa Tours & Travel is a specialist in private African journeys and safaris. Based in Cape Town, we design tailor-made travel across South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia and Zambia — each journey created around the people taking it.

From the Cape Peninsula and the Winelands to the Garden Route, from Victoria Falls and Chobe to the Big Five of the Kruger, we combine Africa's most iconic places with authentic encounters with its wildlife, history and cultures.

Accommodation, guiding and logistics are all arranged for you as part of every journey, so you can simply enjoy Africa — privately, personally and seamlessly.

Our Mission

Our mission at Divine Africa Tours is to provide our guests with a unique and unforgettable travel experience through our personalized luxury tours. We aim to showcase the best of Africa’s diverse landscapes, cultures, and wildlife while providing comfort, luxury, and exceptional service to our guests. We strive to leave a positive impact on the communities and environments we visit and promote sustainable tourism. Our goal is to create memories that will last a lifetime and make Africa a part of our guests’ stories.
