Letter from the Founder

My dear Africa enthusiasts,

 

At Sinclair’s Africa, I deeply value the trust you place in us when you reach out for travel advice. Since founding the company in 2009 in my hometown of Cologne, I have travelled extensively across Africa, traveling over 40,000 km from Cape Town to Zanzibar – eventually moving to Cape Town in 2018. This isn’t just a job for me — it’s a passion and a way of life. I bring a genuine connection to the continent, its people, and its incredible wildlife.

 

Because I invest significant time and care into designing your unique journey, I trust that you, as my potential client, will appreciate this commitment and give us the opportunity to bring your dream trip to life — by booking with Sinclair’s Africa.

 

We are a boutique, founder-led company. This means you always have direct access to me and my dedicated local teams who share the same passion and expertise. We believe in responsible tourism that supports local communities and preserves Africa’s wildlife and natural beauty – and Sinclairs Africa Cape Town is proudly Travelife certified and Fair Trade Tourism approved.

 

Our prices are fair and competitive, reflecting not only the quality accommodations and experiences but also the insider knowledge and personal support you receive every step of the way. When you choose Sinclair’s Africa, you’re not just booking a holiday — you’re investing in expert travel design and a thoughtful, authentic African experience.

 

Thanks to most of our clients valuing our service (and not take our knowledge and give the commission we life off to an automated online booking engine), we can afford to spend this personal time with you. This ensures you receive the expert guidance you deserve, rather than simply relying on booking platforms, which do not provide this level of care or bespoke planning – without paying more when booking with us.

 

In today’s world, AI tools like ChatGPT can quickly offer general travel ideas. But no AI can replace years of first-hand experience, local relationships, or the personal touch and responsiveness you get from a dedicated travel expert who knows you and your wishes.

 

From the moment you contact us, through planning, and all the way until you return home, I am personally involved to ensure your journey exceeds expectations.
