Information
Africa A-Z, your African safari and vacation expert, is based in Johannesburg, South Africa, and has been in operation as a web-based operator/broker for Eastern and Southern Africa since 2004.
We have access to hundreds of safaris, honeymoons, and family vacations and will make suitable recommendations according to your requests and budget (we are not biased or obliged to sell certain properties therefore you get the type of package that you would enjoy the most).
Please remember, the more information you provide us with, the better we are able to match you to the properties suitable to your interests and budget.
Rates on our website are the same (or lower) than dealing with the properties themselves. Combine this with the fact that you only need to make one booking with us for your whole itinerary (in US$, UK£, € or ZAR - South African Rand) instead of having to worry about making several transfers which add up and giving you the convenience of one point of contact throughout your itinerary.
We are a small business meaning that you are more than a number to us and we devote special attention to all our clients and take pride in the fact that most of our customers are repeat business or referrals (friends and family of our previous clients).
To see African country information, suggested itineraries, special offers, and wedding or honeymoon packages; visit:
Botswana, Kenya, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Reunion Seychelles, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zanzibar, and Zimbabwe plus other African countries.
When making your initial inquiry, please provide us with the following information, in order for us to respond efficiently and accurately in creating a journey that will best suit your requirements:
The number of persons in your party.
Accommodation requirements – twins and/or singles, as well as the standard of accommodation (star rating is very helpful but budget is the best so we can offer packages in your price range).
Date of travel and whether your dates are flexible.
Country and region required.
Length of stay.
An indication of your budget.
An indication of your interests.
Ages of children if a family booking.
Your country of origin (nationality) and if you need assistance with flights and from which city.
Any other additional information that would assist us further in planning a suitable itinerary for your guests would be welcomed.

Please advise us what currency you would prefer your quote to be in - currently we have ZAR, US$, Euro & British Pound bank accounts. Due to South African regulations, you can only pay us directly by credit card in South African Rands. Should you wish to use a foreign (non-South African) credit card, we will use our partner Exchange 4 Free and a surcharge may apply (currently 2.5%).
All prices are correct at the time of publishing but may be changed by operators/accommodation establishments with no notice. We will endeavor to get the published rate for you but cannot be held liable if any of these prices do change.
Special Offers are subject to availability and for specified time periods only. These Special Offers may change without our knowledge and we can only confirm the rates once we have got your dates and checked availability.
Air Fares: Airport Taxes fluctuate on a daily basis (virtually) and therefore we cannot guarantee a fare until full payment is made by you and received by us for all air tickets. In some cases, where you have booked your tour package through us, we will search for the best options and then advise you so you can pay this directly yourselves so as not to lose the fare.
When making a booking, Africa A-Z will advise you on what deposit is required to confirm a reservation and when you will be expected to make further payments.
Travel Insurance: It is highly recommended that you take out insurance that will cover you for personal accidents, medical, and emergency travel expenses plus cover your personal effects.
Cancellation Fees: Cancellation fees are dependent on services booked so where there is no cancellation fee charged, we don’t charge anything unless we have incurred other expenses on your behalf such as bank fees, etc. Most accommodation and tour operators charge a sliding scale of cancellation fees which we can provide you on request.
Medical: You may need to take precautions for malaria, yellow fever, etc. We will advise you on the standard precautions necessary but it is advisable to contact your doctor/GP to find out what your country requires/recommends.
Visas: Please inquire about visa requirements - we will assist as much as possible but it is always advisable to contact your nearest Consulate of the country you wish to visit to confirm up-to-date information as this can change with no notice. We will always try to provide up-to-date information.
Dietary requirements: Please advise at the time of booking if you have any special dietary requirements.
