About Us
TravelHouse Africa is a Cape Town-based luxury tour operator, founded by Billy Hare and Ingo Brüggemann, specialising in tailor-made travel across Southern and Eastern Africa. We book self-drive holidays, fly-in safaris, luxury train journeys and boutique stays in South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia, Mozambique, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles and the Maldives. Our small, expert team travels frequently and we do not sell anywhere we have not experienced first-hand ourselves. We contract with leading hospitality brands across the continent and partner with them to offer a travel desk service.
