Meet our founder

Africaventura was born from the deep wildlife passion of Emke Prakken, who launched the brand in 2021 after many years of living across East and Southern Africa. Originally from the Netherlands, Emke trained as a professional safari guide and turned her lifelong love for the continent into a mission: to share its true essence with travelers from around the world.

As part of Ventura Travel, Africaventura combines local expertise with global standards of quality and sustainability. Every journey is crafted with trusted partners who live and breathe Africa (guides, conservationists, and community leaders) to ensure travelers experience the continent with respect and authenticity.

Inspired by Africa, Created from the Heart

Too often, travel in Africa is reduced to the familiar: classic game drives, luxury lodges, or distant beach resorts far removed from real life. Africaventura offers something different: experiences that reveal the everyday magic of the continent. Whether meeting local artisans, exploring remote villages, or sharing stories around a campfire, our travelers discover the Africa that Emke fell in love with: vibrant, diverse, and profoundly alive.
