About the awards

The Oscars of the travel industry.

The World Travel Awards were founded in 1993 to acknowledge, reward and celebrate excellence across all key sectors of the travel and tourism industry. They are widely regarded as the most prestigious accolade in the trade.

Winners are decided by a combined vote of qualified travel-industry professionals and travellers worldwide. The category for which we have been recognised โ€” Africa's Leading Safari Company โ€” is voted across the entire continent and the global travel community that books safaris on it.

Recognition like this matters to us because it reflects the work of the specialists who sit with each enquiry: the safari is theirs, not ours.
