Custom Travel to East Africa & Southern Africa

Borton Overseas creates customized journeys to Africa, each crafted with your travel preferences in mind and developed to give you more than just a taste of this remarkable continent. We currently travel to East and Southern Africa, as well as the neighboring islands and beaches of the Indian Ocean.

Imagine enjoying luxury rail and river journeys and the best African safari tours, sleeping under canvas beneath a blanket of stars, immersing yourself in local cultures, gazing in awe at the world’s largest waterfalls, climbing Africa’s highest mountain, exploring savvy cities, and visiting villages barely touched by modern amenities.

The options for your vacation to Africa are endless. The delights are plenty. And the experiences are priceless.

Exotic Experiences Await

Wildlife Unlike Any Other.

If you want to see the most magnificent creatures on earth in their natural habitat, your journey to Africa will not disappoint. From chimp and gorilla trekking to watching a herd of elephants around a waterhole, you’ll encounter wildlife and explore wilderness like never before. You’ll be forever changed by experiences with migrating herds, exotic birds, and Africa’s “Big Five”– lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo.

Nature's bounty in all its glory.

Take in Africa’s incredibly varied landscapes: deserts, mountains, jungles, savannas, inland deltas, coastlines, winelands, waterholes, and much more.

Activities a-plenty for the occasional adventurer and thrill-seeker.

We can fill your journey to Africa with as much adventure as you desire. Hot air ballooning, mountain climbing, white-water rafting, helicopter flips, canoeing, horseback riding, walking, biking, snorkeling, scuba diving, and fishing are just a few of the options available for the thrill-seeker in you.

History and culture offer deep insight.

Africa holds a history that will humble and inspire. This is a continent that has endured, overcome, and evolved with grace and dignity. From archeological sites of Olduvai, Lalibela, and Sterkfontein, to the monuments of change like Robben Island in Cape Town and the Genocide Memorial in Kigali, to museums, art galleries, and village visits to observe traditional cultures almost unchanged over time, your journey to Africa will leave you feeling enlightened and inspired.

Delectable delights for every palate.

Rich coffees and teas. Fresh fruits and vegetables. Succulent roasts and savory soups. Freshly baked breads and irresistible sweets. Your journey to Africa will present endless opportunities to sample a wonderful variety of cuisine to take your taste buds on a journey all their own. Oh yes, did we mention world-class wines and craft beers abound?

This is Africa. Are you ready?
