About Us

African Days, in its new appearance, is the result of twenty four years of learning and dreaming about establishing a tour company that is utterly focused on its clients. As the business developed over the years, services that are needed to make it possible to have a worry free visit to Africa was identified and addressed.

The end result is a group of companies that is aimed at making it easy to plan, book and GO!!

From the beginning, African Days steered away from the general tour company profile - we will never load you on a bus full of strangers and send you on a trip with a rigid itinerary. Instead we focus on small, intimate groups - just you and your friends and/or family. And we make sure that you are in control at all times - changes to itineraries take place all the time!!

In addition to a web site designed to wet your appetite and help you form an idea of what it is you would like to do, we ensure that you are always just a phone call away from answers to questions you might have. Our USA office is based in Wisconsin - call us anytime! We take care of you from beginning to end - from booking your air travel, helping you pack, making payments easy and hassle free and ensuring that you have all the information you need to leave and return - without having to spend a moment wondering what has and has not been taken care of!!

Trust us with this bucket list item - we know what you want and we know how to deliver it!!

We have utilized Africa Days services for two different safaris. Not only have we had the best experiences but it has been the best way to take a vacation. I wish Africa Days could coordinate and guide all of our global vacations!

My wife and I have travelled with Jaco for close to 5 weeks over the course of 2 trips to Namibia and Botswana. We have stayed in various accommodations, from 4 star lodges to bush camps in tents. We travelled primarily to photograph wildlife. Jaco has an intimate knowledge of both countries and our travels have been absolutely superb in every respect. We were able to visit areas only a local would know about and his knowledge of the countries and wildlife is first rate. He also happens to be a great guide and good company, as well as an excellent cook. For anyone looking for an up close and personal experience travelling this part of Africa you cannot go wrong with Going2Africa. Highly recommended!!

"Bruce picked up his animals from the Taxidermist form the 2015 just a couple days ago. The Taxidermist he used in Minneapolis, MN, wanted to pass along a huge compliment to Ingwe Wildlife and Your Team. They said the field work, Salt Station and Ingwe Taxidermy was excellent work. A job well done."

An adventure with Jaco is priceless! He will truly listen to the kind of adventure you would like to have and deliver so much more! My wife and I had an amazing off the beaten path experience with a complete stranger and left with memories of a life time, but the best of part of the whole trip was gaining a friend, who I now consider my brother.

"Thank you Pieter. I just checked out the new site. Beautiful. Easy to browse. Great pictures! But, really, it's hard to express the emotions that these activities evoke. The friendliness of the people that we met. Or the memories that people will take home with them. We never tire of talking with folks about our trips. "

"It was the most beautiful fish I’d ever seen in my life. A bronze whaler shark weighing 250 lbs...and that was just 1 of our 6 days of adventures."

"Your crew of PH's and Staff are first rate. Their abilities to see the animals, recognize them, assess their age/size and communicate with hunters all in a matter of seconds is astounding."
