not just another DMC
Your Partners
in Southern Africa
Involv Africa was founded by two explorers — Rijan Visser and Johan van Tonder — who believe that deep relationships are the foundation of great travel.
What began as a passion project has evolved into a trusted DMC for the world’s leading tour operators. Johan is the detail-obsessed strategist, always anticipating a traveller’s need before it arises. Rijan is the visionary, inspired since his youth in Zimbabwe to share Africa’s magic with the world. Together, they’ve built a company where old-school passion meets new-school efficiency.

They always go beyond, and after many tour groups through their office, I can say that I can’t wait for the next two this year! For over 21 years, we have used the services of the owners of InvolvAfrica. We operate worldwide photo tours, and it is so important to us that we can rely on a company that will book what we ask for and supply those services. We trust InvolvAfrica as they offer commitment to delivering exactly what we need, and their exceptional service is invaluable to us. After successfully collaborating on numerous tours, I eagerly look forward to our next two trips with them this year!

I have been working with InvolvAfrica for almost 20 years! I enjoy working with Susan as she offers suggestions for routings, accommodation, activities, and restaurants, as well as incorporating my wishes! Susan has been organizing my tour packages to South Africa, Vic Falls, Botswana and Namibia for many years and does a wonderful job. She is very thoughtful and efficient, and her turnaround time is very quick. This is very much appreciated when you are dealing with a 9-hour time change. InvolvAfrica s very easy to deal work with and I look forward to working with them for many more years!
