Why West Africa?
West Africa offers a great variety of vibrant tribal cultures, enduring traditions, and sophisticated local customs. It’s a region that promises authentic and immersive experiences amongst varied African landscapes. To visit this part of the world is to go truly off-the-beaten path, embrace a sense of adventure, and experience places where mass tourism has yet to reach.
Why TransAfrica?
Visiting West Africa with TransAfrica means a safe, quality and authentic experience with expert, professional guides. We pioneered tourism to West Africa over 40 years ago, starting out in Togo, then Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea-Bissau and Senegal, and have continued to establish long-term relationships across the region since. We are known for our high quality standards, excellent guides, original itineraries, and our customers return to us again and again to deepen their experience of what this fascinating region has to offer.
We empower West Africans to showcase their ancient rituals, ceremonies, dances, sacred masks and traditional festivals to respectful visitors, and strongly believe that those best placed to guide tourists around West Africa are, of course, West Africans themselves. Whereas most tour operators work with seasonal freelance contracts, we’re proud to employ the vast majority of our team, including drivers and guides, full-time, providing a more stable income for their families. This is just one way in which we lead on local employment standards and sustainability - you can read more about our ethos here [link to Our Ethos page].

Between land and water reigns an ancient creature, the crocodile, symbol of the mysteries of life on earth and guardian of life underground.
TransAfrica makes the crocodile its trademark to represent the mystical and spectacular side of Africa that characterises each of its journeys.
