TravelAfricaYourWay Profile Photo Sandie & ChrisAustralia FlagAustralia

Chris, Sandie and their 3 adventurous kids just love Africa! Based in Sydney, Australia, Chris and Sandie's love story began in 1996 when they met travelling in Africa. Since then, they've explored this amazing continent countless times. In 2013, during an epic 8-month family journey across southern Africa, the idea for Travel Africa was born, and the business was established the very next year.
