About Us

Established in January 2004, www.Venues4Africa.com came about because a need was recognized for a travel directory that covered every corner of Southern Africa. Our focus remains comprehensitivity throughout Southern Africa, especially neighbouring countries to South Africa, who are poorly represented online.

With offices in Cape Town and Harare we cater for the needs of any traveller looking for the true african experience. The vision at www.Venues4Africa.com is to become the definitive guide to accommodation in Southern Africa, and given our database since our inception and passion for travel we are nearly there!
