Book an Akile Adventure
At Akile African Adventures, our name reflects more than just travel — it embodies a profound connection to South Africa’s land, people, and spirit. “Akile,” meaning healing, represents our belief that journeys through nature, culture, and community have the power to restore not only the land but also the individuals who walk upon it.
South Africa is a place of stunning contrasts: from vast savannas teeming with wildlife to majestic mountains, golden coastlines, and vibrant townships full of music, dance, and stories. It is a land that has known hardship and beauty — and through it all, it continues to heal, to thrive, and to welcome.
Our tours are crafted to mirror that spirit of healing. Whether you’re walking through ancient forests, watching elephants at dawn, connecting with local communities, or simply breathing in the stillness of the wilderness, each moment invites reflection, renewal, and reconnection.
We believe travel should be as unique as you are. That’s why we offer personalized itineraries tailored to your desires, allowing you the freedom and flexibility to explore at your own pace. From the moment we greet you at the airport to the final farewell, your safety, comfort, and awe-inspiring adventure are our top priorities.

A Life-Changing Adventure in Kruger National Park! Our journey with Akile African Adventures was truly unforgettable. Tina organized an incredible trip to Kruger National Park, where we stayed at the beautiful Letaba Camp. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly planned—from the comfortable accommodation to smooth travel logistics and delicious meals.
We were fortunate to see an amazing variety of wildlife, including elephants, hippos, giraffes, and so much more. It was a breathtaking, life-changing experience.
Despite being a large group, Tina was with us every step of the way, making sure every single person felt cared for and included. Her attention to detail, warm personality, and deep knowledge of South Africa made this adventure seamless and deeply enriching.

Hallo! I am one of Christina’s African Adventure guides, Corlia Vosloo from sunny, beautiful South Africa! As I am a farmer and drive on dusty dirt roads,I had to wash and clean my vehicle thoroughly and packed a picnic basket with all sorts of delicacies, water and cool drinks for my travelers we guides had to meet at the Oliver Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg.
With anticipation we welcomed our group and set off on the road on our way on an unforgettable journey to two of South Africa’s most iconic destinations: Kruger National Park and Cape Town!
We drove through scenic landscapes, sharing fascinating insights about South Africa’s history, culture and wildlife. In the Kruger we lead our groups on thrilling game drives, spotting majestic animals like lions, elephants, giraffes, crocodiles, hippopotamus in their natural habitat. After the wildlife adventure, we head to Cape Town where more excitement awaited!
Christina is a warm-hearted, incredible organiser. Throughout the journey, she ensured that her travelers experienced the best of South Africa. From delicious local cuisine to unique cultural experiences. We guides love to look after our groups with tender loving care!
Corlia (South Africa)
From the moment we touched down in South Africa, our journey unfolded like a dream – not just because of the breathtaking landscapes and incredible wildlife, but largely thanks to the woman who guided us every step of the way.
Our guide Christina was the heart and soul of the trip – organised, enthusiastic and absolutely passionate about wildlife and her country. Her love for South Africa was contagious, and she brought every place we visited to life with stories, insights, and an energy that made even the long drives feel like part of the adventure.
In Kruger National Park, she knew every call of the wild, every track in the dirt, and somehow always managed to be in the right place at the right time – whether it was spotting a leopard lounging in a tree or a herd of elephants at a watering hole. Her knowledge of the park, its ecosystems, and the animals that call it home was impressive, but it was her deep respect and emotional connection to the land that really stood out.
She also thought of everything – from picnic stops with spectacular views to making sure everyone was comfortable and cared for. Her organisation gave the trip a relaxed, seamless feel, allowing us to just soak in the experience without a worry.
But what made the trip truly special was her warmth. She wasn’t just a guide – she was a host, a storyteller, and a true ambassador for South Africa. Her pride in her homeland shone through in every moment, and by the end of the journey, we too had fallen in love with the country – not just for its wildlife and scenery, but because we had seen it through her eyes.
This trip wasn’t just a safari; it was a connection – to nature, to people, and to a place we will never forget.
Margaret Mckinnell (Newtownabbey N. Ireland)
We recently returned from an unforgettable trip to South Africa, running from 15th to 27th April 2025. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and exceptionally well-organized. The tour covered all travel, starting from Belfast to Johannesburg, continuing on to the Kruger National Park, then to Cape Town, before returning to Johannesburg for our flight home.
Every leg of the journey was expertly managed, with all logistics taken care of, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the experience. One of the standout aspects of the tour was the inclusion of a driver/guide, who made our travels both comfortable and informative. Their local knowledge added great value to the trip. Highlights of the holiday included the breathtaking safari in Kruger National Park—an incredible opportunity to see wildlife up close in their natural habitat—and a visit to the iconic Table Mountain in Cape Town, offering stunning views and a memorable experience.
Accommodation throughout the trip was fantastic, consistently exceeding our expectations in terms of comfort, location, and service. Special thanks to Tina, the organiser, who was always available to offer advice and make helpful suggestions along the way. Her attentiveness and professionalism ensured that everything ran smoothly and without a single hitch.
All in all, this was a truly memorable adventure through one of the most beautiful and diverse countries in the world. Highly recommended!
Joan & Harold Armstrong (Omagh Northern Ireland)
I had the privilege to be part of a trip to South Africa in April 2025. Tina had organised a trip that encompassed little tasters of all the wonderful things the country has to offer. Starting with an incredible visit to the Kruger park where I experienced daily ‘wow’ moments as we experimented sights and smells of nature and its wonders, free and fantastic.
A total contrast seeing Cape Town and feeling the energy around the harbour area and coast line. Tina has a keen interest and love for South Africa and wants to show it’s best to anyone who is willing to travel there. I would recommend her for her enthusiasm and genuine want for everyone to experience the joy she has in this great country.
Doreen Mckinnell (Belfast N. Ireland)
We had an unforgettable South African trip in April 2025 with Akile African Adventure Tours. Our journey took us from the wild beauty of the Kruger National Park to the vibrant charm of Cape Town. Kruger was a highlight—we saw an incredible variety of animals, including elephants, lions, giraffes, and more.
The game drives were well-organised and exciting, with knowledgeable guides who made every sighting special.
Cape Town was equally amazing, with its stunning scenery, great food, and rich culture. From Table Mountain to the V&A Waterfront, every moment was enjoyable.
Akile African Adventure Tours did an excellent job—everything was well-planned, organised and the entire experience went so smooth and memorable.

South African experience organised by Christina. Traveling to a country with different customs can be a bit uncomfortable. Christina’s plan for us took all the guesswork and apprehension away and made our trip stress free.
From the airport pickup to the airport drop off – everything went as planned. It was an eye opening experience for the first time using Christina I would highly recommend Christina for friends, family, and strangers. Would always use her for our holidays to South Africa. Truly incredible experience. Already planning out next adventure with her.
Thank you so much for all your help in booking our dream vacation. One I will never forget!
