Our Story

African Sky was founded in 1998, inspired by a passion for Southern Africa's wild places. Since our inception, we have strived to share our love of these areas with travelers through thoughtfully designed, authentic experiences.

We do not offer one-size-fits-all tours; we base your trip on what inspires you and craft an itinerary based on this.

Today, African Sky thrives on word-of-mouth referrals and our enduring relationships with returning guests. We believe in slow travel, quiet luxury, and journeys that leave lasting memories — not just photographs.
