Real Africa Travel Tours was founded in 2019 by Kelvin Jambaya, a native of Africa with a profound passion for his homeland. What started as a simple dream in Cape Town, South Africa, soon became a mission to give travelers a chance to experience Africa in its most authentic, immersive, and soul stirring way.
Kelvin’s journey into the tourism industry wasn’t the typical one. Before launching his own company, he worked as a Web Developer for tour companies, which gave him the opportunity to travel across South Africa and see the industry up close. The more he explored, the more he fell in love not just with the landscapes but with the idea of guiding others to experience the magic of Africa. By 2018, he started leading tours on the side, purely out of passion. But something didn’t feel right. Despite the breathtaking destinations, many tours felt surface level, missing the true soul of Africa the warmth of its people, the depth of its culture, and the untold stories that bring the land to life.
That realization changed everything. Kelvin decided to start his own company. He didn’t want to offer just another checklist of attractions, he wanted to create tours that connected travelers to Africa’s spirit, its traditions, and its heartbeat. When it came time to name the company, he knew it had to reflect this vision. These weren’t just tours; they were experiences of the real Africa.
And so, Real Africa Travel Tours was born, It wasn’t just a name, it was a promise to show travelers the Real Africa beyond the brochures and tourist hotspots.
Unfortunately, just as the company was gaining momentum, the global pandemic hit in 2019 forcing the world and tourism to come to a standstill. Like many businesses, Real Africa Travel Tours had to pause operations indefinitely. It was a challenging time, but Kelvin never lost sight of his vision. As restrictions lifted in late 2021, the company made a strong comeback, reopening its doors with even more determination and passion than before.
By 2024, Real Africa Travel Tours had expanded beyond South Africa, bringing its vision to Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Botswana. More travelers than ever were getting the chance to experience Africa’s raw beauty, untouched landscapes, and deep cultural roots. Each tour is still carefully designed to go beyond the usual tourist spots, offering a journey into the true heart of Africa.
Today, Real Africa Travel Tours is thriving, still guided by the same vision that started it all back in 2019 to turn travel dreams into unforgettable adventures. For us, it’s never just about the destination it’s about changing the way people experience Africa one journey at a time.
