Today, APT remains family owned and operated, and the growth of our business has been legendary in the travel industry. We are so proud to be able to welcome our guests into our APT family as we explore the world together in style. Within these pages you will find our new collection of small group African safaris, opening the doors to some of the world's most unique and extraordinary destinations. It is our pleasure to show you all the things that make Africa so magical on journeys that are rich in both adventure and history. We have travelled extensively throughout the continent to bring you the best elements of luxury African travel. Meaning you can discover this vast continent in the most convenient manner possible, without compromising on the style, convenience and security for which APT are renowned. With everything organised for you – including all flights within Africa and dedicated APT Tour Directors who will accompany you throughout your journey – travelling to Africa has never been easier. Adding to the appeal, you can explore even further on a Namibia Air Safari by private plane, taking you to encounter some of the most isolated – and incredible – landscapes imaginable. Perhaps take a rail journey aboard Africa's most luxurious train, Rovos Rail. Or embark a magnificent river safari through Chobe National Park aboard the boutique-sized Zambezi Queen. I invite you to step out of your comfort zone (and into ours) for what is a truly unforgettable holiday experience.
