Our Story

Real Africa Travel Tours Pty Ltd was established in 2019 by Kelvin Jambaya, a native of Africa with a profound passion for his homeland. The company began its journey in South Africa with the headquarter in Cape Town.

Kelvin initially worked as a web developer for other tour companies, which allowed him to travel extensively across South Africa and gain valuable insights into the tourism industry. During 2017 and 2018, he began exploring tour guiding as a hobby and noticed a lack of genuine African experiences within the tourism industry. Motivated to make a difference, he founded Real Africa Travel Tours Pty Ltd to provide travelers with genuine, immersive experiences of African culture and landscapes.

The company’s name, “REAL AFRICA TRAVEL TOURS,” embodies its dedication to authenticity and excellence, striving to deliver experiences that authentically showcase Africa’s people, landscapes, and traditions. By 2023, the company expanded its vision to Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana with the aim of providing truly unique and authentic African experiences.
