Why Mike Ross Africa Travel?

We specialise in individually designed, tailor made trips to Africa and Indian Ocean and are committed to the creation of the best possible African experience that is personal to you.

Africa is big, varied and exciting but cannot all be done at once; so choice is important. Tying plans all together is the art of travel: choosing when to go, where to go and what to do can make or break a trip.

Our expert and up to date knowledge of destinations across Africa ensures you get the right advice, relevant to you. No trip is ever the same because no two people are ever the same.

At Mike Ross Africa Travel you will not just speak to a sales person, you will speak to an expert who has also lived and worked in Africa. Our passion and knowledge is kept fresh with regular travel to Africa, so we are right up to date with an in depth understanding of the places you will be going to. Our aim is to provide you with the best possible service and advice on what is often the most important holiday of your life.

We get just as excited about your trip as we hope you do and look forward to hearing from you.

All the best,

Mike & Georgina

Meet Our Founders

Mike Ross

Georgina Sargent

Mike was brought up in Zimbabwe and lived in Africa until his mid twenties. He has since lived in many parts of the world but has always maintained close contact with this compelling continent.

Mike has travelled extensively in Africa and the Indian Ocean region, on his own and with his family, and it was the desire to create that “Africa trip of a lifetime” for others that drove the inception of Mike Ross Africa Travel.

Having spent more than a year in Africa cumulatively checking out all the important regions and properties in the last three years alone (too many to list but includes every country we cover!), we can safely say he has the knowledge and passion to ensure all your expectations and requirements are met.

Best moment in Africa (so far!): walking just behind a pride of lion as they hunted buffalo, bringing one down yards from where we stood.

Georgina first entered the travel industry on the other side of the fence, working for Robin Pope Safaris in Zambia. Her understanding of both sides of the industry is a huge asset in surpassing her clients’ expectations.

Georgina was previously head of the Africa Division at another leading tour operator, where she worked for a number of years.

Africa is ever changing and first-hand and recent experience is crucial in both providing the very best service and creating the right holiday for each client: Georgina’s up to date knowledge and extensive travel year on year, further reinforces our ability to deliver to clients the very best Africa experience.

Best moment in Africa (so far!): Sitting quietly near the bank of the Zambezi river when a lion cub decided to jump up on to it just a few metres from us. I don't know who got the bigger surprise...
