Africaventura invites travelers to discover Africa in a way few ever do. We design authentic, small-group journeys that go beyond the usual safaris, blending breathtaking nature with meaningful encounters and local insight. Every trip is a celebration of the continent’s vast diversity, from rugged coastlines and ancient deserts to vibrant cities and untouched lands.
Our mission is to inspire travelers to return home as true ambassadors for Africa: transformed, connected, and eager to explore more.
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.
We craft responsible small-group adventures that reveal Africa’s depth, creating lasting impact for travelers and local communities alike.
Our approach in four key principles:
Intimate group sizes that allow meaningful interactions and minimize environmental impact
Expert-led experiences curated by wildlife guides and local specialists
Authentic encounters with Africa’s cultures, communities, and ecosystems
Beyond the safari, offering deeper understanding of Africa’s diversity and daily life
