Backpack & Africa Travel Centre

Look no further - we've got your ticket to fun and adventure! We can organise day trips around Town, overland safari expeditions to every part of the continent, wildlife safaris to Africa's finest game reserves and car and intercity bus services.

Join us on our weekly BBQ! Have a taste of the traditional Fish and Ostrich Braai, as locals call it. It's one of the yummiest in town! Learn how to drum with a local drum master on Thursday nights. Prove to the world you are the best pool player in Africa during our Friday Night Pool Competition or go back home being able to tell your friends and family that you took part in an international pool competition. <br>Our tour guides are experienced and have in many cases personally been on the tours as passengers. They are also seasoned backpackers themselves, having travelled the world in the same way. Our team is made up of dynamic people and our shared goal is to give you, the traveller, excellent service and support. All our tour operators are accredited and insured with a good track record - they know their stuff - so you are guaranteed a good trip that will leave you with unforgettable memories.
