The Africa Trip You're Overthinking (And How to Actually Book It)
There's something magical happening at Well Placed Travel right now- we are planning extraordinary African journeys and couldn't be more excited to share what's unfolding.
Adventures in the Works
We have planned incredible African journeys to these unique destinations, and each one tells its own captivating story:
Rwanda – Intimate encounters with gorillas moving through mist-shrouded mountains and ancient forests. These are wildlife experiences that will stay with you forever.
Tanzania – Safari experiences in the Serengeti that redefine what you thought possible, where the Great Migration writes nature's most dramatic story across endless plains.
Mauritius – Island luxury with a distinctly African flavor, where turquoise waters meet pristine beaches and Creole culture blends with relaxation in the most intoxicating way.
South Africa – Dazzling diversity from Cape Town's dramatic coastline to world-class wine country. I'll be experiencing this firsthand on my own journey later this year.
Zimbabwe (Victoria Falls) – One of those places everyone should witness at least once, where the Zambezi River plunges into one of the world's most spectacular natural wonders.
Why Africa Feels Overwhelming (And Why That's Exactly When You Need an Advisor)
Here's what we hear: "I've always dreamed of going to Africa, but I don't even know where to start."
And we get it. The questions pile up fast:
Which safari camp should I choose among hundreds of options?
What time of year is actually best for what I want to see?
Should I combine destinations or focus on one country?
How do I arrange transfers in remote areas?
Who can I actually trust with reviews that might be years old or selectively curated?
How many hours will I lose down internet rabbit holes trying to figure this out?
This is exactly where a travel advisor becomes invaluable.
When you work with Well Placed Travel, you get:
Access to vetted experiences and suppliers in each country hand selecting everything based on your preferences
Someone who knows which lodge delivers on its promises and which guides will make your safari unforgettable
Expert structuring so you're experiencing the magic, not managing logistics
Peace of mind in places where peace of mind matters most
When Should You Start Planning?
To truly get the experience exactly as you want it, planning one year in advance is best. Nine months out works too. But once you start getting within six months of departure, you're severely limiting your choices. The best lodges, guides, and experiences book up fast.
Your African Adventure Awaits
If you've been thinking "someday" about Africa, let's make someday this year. Well Placed Travel would love to help you discover what's calling you to the continent and create something extraordinary.
