Buy Local · Since 1993 · Affordable Luxury
More of your money should go into the experience itself — not through a chain of resellers who don't call Africa home.
We cut out the middlemen. Since 1993, we've operated directly from Africa — every hotel and lodge handpicked, every itinerary built by our team on the ground. That's 33 years of direct relationships that mean better hotels and lodges, better guides, and better prices.
The result: extraordinary journeys that don't break the bank.
Cape Coast Castle. The Door of No Return. A naming ceremony in your ancestral village. Not a tour stop — a homecoming.
Private game drives. Bush dinners under the stars. Handpicked hotels & lodges where the wildlife comes to you.

Africa's heritage sites and vast wildlife wildernesses will only survive if people who love African culture and wildlife vote with their vacation dollars to support them. When you travel with Heritage Africa, your money goes directly into the communities, conservation areas, and cultural landmarks that make Africa extraordinary.
Without tourism, the economic incentive to protect these irreplaceable places disappears. Your journey isn't just a vacation — it's an investment in ensuring the Serengeti, Cape Coast Castle, and the communities that sustain them are here for the next generation.
Here's what 33 years of operating in Africa has taught us: every destination has its own rhythm. The uncrowded game drives, unhurried cultural encounters, and moments that happen when a place isn't performing for tourists — they happen at different times across our 8 countries. That's why the right season for your journey depends on where you're going and what matters most to you.
Some moments are worth the peak-season crowds — the Great Migration and Ghana's Panafest come to mind. But if you want leopards without the convoy of safari vehicles, or Cape Coast Castle without the selfie sticks, we know exactly when each destination reveals itself on its own terms.
Ask our Travel Concierge which season matches your destination — and your budget.
