All About Africa Travel Center, Your Gateway to Africa

Africa Travel Center is not just another travel company. We’re storytellers, adventurers, and advocates for the incredible continent of Africa. Our journey began in 2008, born out of the desire to showcase Africa’s untapped potential and share its beauty with the world. Headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, our roots run deep in Africa, the homeland of our founding members.

Your Premier Source for Unforgettable African Adventures

Deconstructing the magic of africa with africa travel center.

Your Journey Begins Here

Africa. A land where dreams meet the wild canvas of reality. Where ancient echoes whisper beneath starlit skies, and where every sunrise unleashes an orchestra of vibrant senses. At African Travel Center, we aren’t just travel agents; we’re journey architects, crafting bespoke experiences for discerning travelers like you.

At Africa Travel Center, we believe that every journey has the power to change lives and perceptions. Our story started in 2008 when we set out to do more than just offer travel experiences; we aimed to tell a better story of Africa—a story of its incredible potential, beauty, and cultural richness.

Beyond the Ordinary Safari

Sure, safaris are an African crown jewel, and we offer exquisite ones, traversing iconic landscapes like the Maasai Mara or Kruger National Park . Imagine tracking elusive leopards, witnessing elephants trumpeting under acacia trees, and feeling the earth vibrate beneath the thunderous hooves of migrating wildebeests. But Africa’s tapestry is woven with far more threads than just wildlife.

Mission and Values :

Our mission is simple yet profound: to provide exceptional travel experiences that leave lasting memories while contributing to the sustainable development of African tourism. Our core values—integrity, sustainability, and customer satisfaction—are the compass that guides our every step.

Supporting Sustainable Travel in Africa:

We are committed to responsible and sustainable tourism. Our initiatives aim to preserve the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Africa, ensuring that future generations can experience its wonders.

Unveiling the Soul of a Continent:

Delve into the vibrant tapestry of cultures that paint Africa’s soul. Savor the rhythm of Berber drums echoing through Moroccan kasbahs, or learn the art of haggling in Marrakech’s bustling souks. Immerse yourself in the warm hospitality of Rwandan villages, where smiles are as boundless as the rolling hills. Witness the breathtaking diversity of South Africa, where Cape Town’s cosmopolitan flair dances with the ancient rhythms of Zulu warriors.

Journeys Tailored to You:

Your African adventure isn’t one-size-fits-all. We understand that discerning travelers seek authenticity, not clichés. That’s why we craft tailor-made journeys, meticulously woven to your desires. Hike the misty peaks of Virunga National Park in Rwanda, seeking an encounter with the legendary mountain gorillas. Kayak through the Okavango Delta’s watery labyrinth, Botswana’s jewel, home to a symphony of life. Cycle through Namibia’s otherworldly landscapes, sculpted by ancient dunes and endless horizons.

Luxury with a Conscience:

At African Travel Center, luxury isn’t just about five-star lodges and gourmet meals (though we have those too!). It’s about responsible tourism, supporting local communities, and minimizing our footprint on this precious continent. We partner with eco-conscious lodges and sustainable safari operators , ensuring your journey benefits both you and the land you tread.

Unforgettable Memories, Delivered:

Let us handle the logistics, from visa applications to local guides, while you revel in the magic of Africa unfolding before you. We handle the details, you savor the moments. That’s the African Travel Center promise – exquisite experiences, crafted with care, for discerning travelers who seek to truly feel the pulse of this extraordinary continent.

Our History

Over the years, we’ve grown into a reliable resource for everything related to travel in Africa. Our journey has been marked by milestones and moments of discovery, culminating in a profound realization around 2020. The COVID-19 epidemic, though tragic, provided us with the opportunity to pause and reflect on our future. We used this time to strategize, reevaluate, and envision a new way forward, not just for ourselves but for our African partners and, most importantly, for you—our cherished guests.

The secret series for globe-trotter.

Can you keep a secret?

Hidden gems/off the beaten track

As devotees of the Globe-Trotter brand, chances are you’re pretty travel savvy and aware of the concept of ‘overtourism’. If not, it’s the phenomenon where too many tourists visit too few places within too limited a timeframe, leading to massive overcrowding and a significantly impacted experience for visitors and locals alike. As a discerning bunch, we’re sure you’d far rather avoid these destination bottlenecks, but many don’t, and in a counter-trend being called Tourism Resentment, frustrated locals are fighting back. Places like Barcelona – long a hugely popular destination thanks to the proliferation of AirBnbs and Instagram hot takes – are creaking at the seams with tourists and some residents have had enough, taking to the streets in protest and even squirting tourists with waterpistols. I’m not sure anybody really wants that on holiday.

As a travel company we’re acutely aware that we risk being part of the problem, so we actively promote ‘undertourism’, where we encourage going to less obvious destinations, or visiting at less busy times of year. It’s in our DNA to be on the lookout for new and upcoming destinations to help lighten the load, but often there’s no need to reinvent the wheel; there is another, (we think) clever way to go.

Enter our new concept: The Secret Series . It’s a simple enough idea. The classic destinations are classics for a reason – the food, the culture, the scenery, the locals, the beaches and cities and more. They often combine all of the above and more into one intoxicating delight of a destination that is unique (in the true sense of the world) but also – crucially – one that is full of places away from the obvious tourist traps that are every bit as lovely.

That’s where the Secret Series comes in. We want to shine a light on the places within these classic destinations that are anything but over-run; the ones where you might find a smattering of local tourists but not a foreigner in sight. After all, Italy is still glorious, wonderful Italy away from Amalfi Coast, where camera-toting tourists clog up the pretty towns that cling to the region’s cliffs. Consider instead Cilento, in the same beautiful region of Campania as the Amalfi Coast, but welcoming a fraction of the visitors per year, most of whom are clued-up Italians who know a lovely place when they see one.

And as with many of the Secret Series destinations, you even fly to the same airport – in this case Naples – and instead of heading to Amalfi, push on an hour to charming, chic Cilento.

When we researched these hidden gem destinations for the Secret Series portfolio, it was amazing how many of these special places are surprisingly accessible from busy airports that cater to the overtourism hot spots. Cilento from Naples, the surf beaches of Costa Vincentina from Faro in Portugal; the gorgeous Peloponnese from Athens; the Picos de Europa mountains from Bilbao in Spain. If that all feels a little Euro-centric, there are plenty of other Secret Series destinations around the planet, including the wild and wooly Western Cape from Cape Town in South Africa, and the fabled ‘Lost Coast’ in northern California from San Francisco where you can still camp on deserted beaches.

So next time you travel, resist the urge to take to Instagram for inspiration, and instead enjoy our little secret. Just be careful not to tell too many people.
