Africa
Untamed, unmatched and unforgettable, Africa is astonishing from sea to sky. Home to iconic wildlife, fascinating cultures, spectacular landscapes and intricate history, there is simply nowhere like it. Whether you want to belt through the bush on four wheels, feel the spray of the Victoria Falls, soar above the vast plains of the Masai Mara, sail into the dusk on the Chobe River or take a thousand photographs of the Pyramids of Giza – each experience is a treasure to hold with APT.

We understand that one type of holiday does not fit all, so we’ve created a range of travel styles. A selection of ways you can explore the world. Some cover the must-see sights. Some go more in-depth. And sometimes we mix two styles into the one journey. We often offer multiple travel styles in the one destination, ensuring your experience is perfectly aligned with why you want to go, your interests, and your fitness level.
Small Group Journeys
With no more than 19 other guests on your Small Group Journey, you’ll travel by 4WD, and stay in unique properties that reflect the character of the region. Offering access to sights often not available to larger groups, you’ll explore in-depth and make genuine connections with your guides and fellow travellers.
Land Journeys
For those who know exactly what they want in their holiday, look no further than Classic Land Journey. These journeys are the perfect blend of the must-see and special moments that elevate your journey to incredible heights. They live and breathe the best parts of each region, where good food and good company are standard, as are the finest hotels.
River Cruising
There’s nothing more liberating than stepping on board a luxury river ship knowing that every little detail will be taken care of. So you’re free to relax on board and admire the ever-changing scenes. Free to go ashore and explore on your own, and free to join in the culinary, cultural and historical experiences designed exclusively for you.
Rail Journey
Rovos Rail, the Pride of Africa, invites you on board for an exceptional private rail journey. The refined interior is punctuated by lavish decor and original wooden finishes, with a subtle use of modern technology throughout.
Tailor Made Journeys
Everyone has personal interests that contribute to their ideal holiday. No matter how you like to travel, Tailor Made Journeys have you covered – just let us know what your dream holiday looks like and APT can take care of the rest, delivering an unforgettable holiday of the highest standard that APT is famous for.

Unlike other holidays, at APT, we like to make things as easy as possible for you. Our holidays are what we like to call an All-Inspiring Experience. So instead of you wasting your time stressing out about every little detail, you book knowing that we’ve got everything covered. And when you’re away, everything is covered as detailed. It’s the sort of luxury that sets you free.
Signature Experiences
Revelling in the harmonies of the Kenyan Boys Choir or exploring Olduvai Gorge, every journey presents exclusive experiences in addition to included sightseeing. Together they’ve been carefully designed to help you experience Africa in greater depth.

Covering Tracks: aboard South Africa’s Rovos Rail
An eclectic cast of characters travelling through South Africa on a luxury train staffed by liveried crew – it’s a scenario to tempt Agatha Christie herself. Joseph Boulous plays the role of detective on his Rovos Rail journey from Pretoria to Cape Town.
Diary of an African Safari
For animal lovers, there’s no greater experience than coming jeep-to-whisker with lions, hearing the trunk call of elephants and seeing hippos frolic in lagoons. A front-row seat to the African wilderness is up for grabs on safari in Kenya. By Natasha Dragun.
