About Us

Roar Africa is based in New York and South Africa and run by South Africans. We specialize in custom made trips to some of the most beautiful and unspoiled parts of Southern Africa. We believe that tourism is a vital part of the economy for Southern Africa but that it is crucial that visitors have a positive impact and that they maximize their time having traveled so far. We are passionate about the destinations we sell and do our utmost to contribute to their preservation. Unlike other operators we actually run the operation on the ground, instead of outsourcing to another operator for delivery. We are with you all the way. Our guides are mature, South Africans & Zimbabweans who have lived through the political changes and have real life testimonials to share. They can speak to the politics, economics, history & cultures, African languages as well as the animals and geography. Our guiding is our biggest differentiater. We offer a 5 senses in-depth experience, not a text book version. We choose hotels and lodges that employ local people and stimulate the local economy. We work mostly with small, privately owned and owner managed properties. We regularly visit all these handpicked properties, to ensure the standards we require are being upheld. We know what linen is on the beds, what products are in the bathroom, what wines are served on your game drive. We consider these our hidden gems, discovered due to our local expertise and relationships on the ground.

One of the benefits of planning your Southern African vacation with the team at Roar Africa is the ability to go as big or as small as fits your budget. Having a tailor made package doesn't mean breaking the bank, and Roar Africa offers hotels, bed and breakfasts, and safari lodges to meet all tastes and pockets.

Getting to South Africa couldn't be easier with direct flights from New York and Atlanta. Whether you are splashing out on a first class trip for that special occasion, or booking the always affordable coach fares year round, Roar Africa can help you with international as well as domestic airfares within South Africa.

As our clients, we value your feedback. We encourage you to travel and interact with local people responsibly, we will arrange site visits to local projects for you as well as culinary tours, wine tours, shark diving, walking safaris, historical and cultural experiences and anything more you wish to experience - just let us know what it is.
