Is Africaventura right for me? Africaventura is designed for travellers who want to understand Africa beyond stereotypes, travelling slowly, respectfully and in small groups. Our journeys focus on landscapes, wildlife and everyday life, not just headline sights.
Who tends to enjoy Africaventura most?
Who might prefer a different style? If your priority is luxury lodges only, short safaris or rapid multi-country itineraries, Africaventura may feel too considered.

Transform lives, protect forests, and be part of a movement that truly matters
Be a Force for Good — and Help Protect Our Living Planet
Your journey can change the world. Thanks to travellers like you, our charitable foundation has raised over €1 million, supporting 26 community and conservation projects across the globe — from protecting rainforests to empowering local guardians
Ventura Travel is the parent brand of specialist tour operators like Africaventura, responsible for creating small-group, community-based journeys for curious travellers, working directly with local partners and focusing on depth, not mass tourism.
Your trip will be protected by the DRSF, which is a legally compliant form of protection similar in nature to ABTA protection, meaning it does not cover flights.
DRSF stands for Deutscher Reisesicherungsfonds (German Travel Security Fund). As a Ventura TRAVEL customer, your payments are protected by DRSF, ensuring your money is safe and you are covered in the unlikely event of insolvency. You will receive a security certificate with your booking for your peace of mind.
DRSF protection is sufficient under the 2018 UK Package Travel Regulations and has been reviewed and confirmed by our UK legal representatives.
Please note, our team will happily advise you on recommended routes, timings and airlines to make your entire holiday flow as seamlessly as possible.
International flights are not typically included, allowing you flexibility in choosing your preferred airline and schedule. We can assist with flight recommendations if needed.
Your guide is your first escalation point and can usually assist in the majority of circumstances but if you need to escalate an issue that your guide cannot assist with, we offer 24/7 support via phone and email; emergency contact information will be provided in your travel documents.
Travel insurance is not included in our pricing but is strongly recommended.
We are committed to ensuring the best possible experience for our travellers. Some minor itinerary details may change before or during the trip for reasons beyond our control. These changes may be due to, among other things, limited availability from a service provider or government-imposed measures. We will strive at all times to minimise the impact of these changes and proactively inform our travellers.
Ventura Travel offers small-group, expert-led journeys focused on authentic, sustainable experiences. Our tours go beyond mass tourism, supporting local communities and providing unique, in-depth cultural encounters.
Absolutely! Many of our guests travel solo. We offer the option to share a room with another solo traveller or book a single room for an additional fee.
Yes, on some trips. Where available, we offer options to extend your stay or add pre- and post-tour nights. Let us know your preferences and we’ll help arrange additional services where possible.
No. While we sell tours in multiple countries (i.e. Germany, France, United Kingdom, etc), we do not combine guests from those countries into a single departure. However, if, for instance, a German customer were to purchase from one of our UK sites (i.e. www.africaventura.co.uk as opposed to www.africaventura.de), nothing would stop them from doing so but the tour would be conducted in English.
We intentionally keep our groups small to ensure a more personal and immersive experience. The vast majority of our tours have a maximum limit of 12 and on average our tours have around 9 travellers. However a small number of our trips allow up to 16 travellers.
Our tour prices typically include accommodation, most meals, guided activities, entrance fees, and ground transportation. Specific inclusions are listed on each trip page.
We select comfortable, well-located hotels and guesthouses that reflect the local character. Accommodation standards and details are listed on each trip page.
