VentureCo - travel, ethics, purpose




Country Guide: A to Z: Africa

Africa is huge and to select a country to visit can be daunting. To work out an itinerary that works can be overwhelming.

We specialise in East and Southern Africa and here you can find a few example itineraries, but this is just a modest selection of what’s available.

VentureCo director Mark Davison spent 8 years working as a guide in East and Southern Africa and as the Namibia guides would say, “He’s a fundy” (which translates as “a fund of knowledge”!) He’s just an email away..contact Mark

Local knowledge.
We have been running trips, treks and safaris in Africa since the 1980’s and have a great network of local contacts. Whatever you would like to do, we know the man (or woman!) on the ground to make it happen in a reliable, safe and cost-effective way.
