Who We Are

GoVacation Africa is a full service destination management company, specialising in inbound travel to South Africa, Namibia, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda to name a few. We offer professional services and client specific consultation to both the FIT and group leisure travel segments.
We are part of a global brand, with decades worth of business experience in core international markets. We have come to understand the nature of the world traveller very well, and how best to deliver and maintain a professional service.
We have also come to know the peculiarities of the African continent as a destination, through first-hand practice on the ground.
Our people are passionate ambassadors for the destinations they call home. They have amassed countless hours worth of personal experience, qualifying them as specialists in their respective fields – be that operational, logistical or administrative.
Despite being built on a solid foundation in respect of product, process and technological innovation, we have learned that we have no edge without our people and their passion, creativity, flexibility, skill and experience.

Buy a Green Seat

In an effort to offset carbon emissions from travel-related activities and to support worthwhile conservation efforts, Tourvest Destination Management is encouraging travellers to purchase a green seat.

Guests who elect to purchase a green seat will be given a green seat badge, handmade by the African Home Community Project in Cape Town, as a memento and thank you from us for participating in this fantastic initiative.

It should be noted that there is no deduction for the badge and that your full financial contribution will go towards the beneficiaries of our Green Seat programme, which are Trees for Tourism, The SANParks Honorary Rangers (Anti-Rhino Poaching Project), The Endangered Wildlife Trust (Conservation Canines Project), and the Black Mamba Anti-Poaching Unit (from 1 Nov 2021).
