Our story

28 years of African travel

Southern Destinations was founded in Cape Town in 1998 by a small team of Africa-obsessed specialists. Nearly three decades later, we still plan every itinerary by hand — one traveller, one destination, one lodge at a time.

Our specialists have walked the trails, driven the routes and slept in the camps we recommend. That first-hand knowledge is why our travellers return home saying they didn't have to worry about a thing.
