the team behind the adventures

At Fitzroy Travel we pride ourselves on being a small, and completely independent, tour operator. We offer our clients fully immersive travel experiences to some of Africa’s most remote areas, and are proud to do so in a way that we believe is genuinely different.

We have no interest in mass tourism, nor will we have, and are passionate about pursuing a style of travel that takes our clients into destinations they may have otherwise only imagined.

OUR COMMITMENT

We are committed to ensuring our presence is a positive one, acting as a bridge to foster cross-cultural understanding rather than a source of entertainment. We believe in empowering communities to invite guests into their world on their own terms, rather than exploiting them as products.

lasting relationships

As a result, we build lasting relationships with our clients, for whom travel has a deeper meaning than just a holiday, that span many years and multiple journeys.

As we continue to develop a deeper understanding of your particular interests and what drives your desire to explore, we are able to offer experiences to match your expectations. In our opinion, "There is no 'best', only the most suitable."
