Company Performance Metrics
- Verena Brode: Managing Director
Elefant-Tours GmbH is a German travel agency specialising in tours and safaris across Southern and Eastern Africa. The company operates primarily through several tour-operator sister companies based in Tanzania, Kenya, Namibia, South Africa and Botswana, which manage and run the tours on the ground.
CORE SERVICES
Elefant-Tours specializes in
several types of African travel experiences:
- Classic Safaris: Both lodge-based and luxury tented camp experiences.
- Small-Group Tours: Guided tours with a limited number of participants for a more intimate experience.
- Self-Drive Tours: Pre-planned itineraries for travelers who want to explore regions like Namibia or South Africa at their own pace.
- Trekking & Mountains: Specialized expeditions, most notably climbs of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru.
- Tailor-Made Trips: Customized itineraries designed specifically for individual preferences or private groups.
KEY DESTINATIONS
- Tanzania (incl. Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Mt Kilimanjaro)
- Kenya (incl. Masai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Mt Kenya)
- Namibia (incl. Namib Desert, Etosha, Damaraland, Kaokoland)

- Botswana (incl Okavango Delta, Moremi, Chobe, Makgadikgadi Pans)

UNIQUE PROPOSITION
Unlike many broad travel agencies, Elefant-Tours through its sister companies, operates its own fleet of vehicles and employs its own guides in many of its destinations. This "hands-on" approach generally allows for better quality control and more competitive pricing due to managing the logistics directly on the ground.
