Africa Travel & Tourism Directory

Are you looking for the contact details of a travel magazine in South Africa or Egypt? The new telephone number of the Mozambique embassy in Dar-es-Salaam or Berlin? The nearest Air Gabon or Ethiopian Airlines office? A tour operator in Senegal, Libya, Uganda or safari operator in Tanzania? The Hotel Association in Botswana, Tunisia or Ghana? An e-mail address for the tourist board of Cape Verde or Namibia? The website of the Mauritanian government or the Kenyan Wildlife Service? The Gambian Immigration Service or Customs and Excise in Nigeria?

Or maybe you don't require any of this because all actually needed was a climax for your Napoleon in Excile tour, a visit to the cliffs on St. Helena and are looking for a shipping company which serves the island.

"...excellent reference volume for anyone interested in Africa and the African travel industry, and certainly the most extensive and up-to-date directory of its type that exists, organized by country and including a previously non-existent index of important international associations, organizations and services for the travel industry."

"You have done it again another excellent directory. This is one of the best sources of contact information for the travel and tourism industry in Africa that I have seen. It is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the industry in Africa. For instance, I am not sure where else you could find such a comprehensive directory of travel trade publications for every country on the continent among many other categories of information."

Scott Wayne, Managing Partner of SW associates and former official with the World Tourism Organization and the World Travel & Tourism Council (scott.wayne@verizon.net)

"...the travel and tourism industry's most comprehensive directory. The content is not only thorough, but the attention to accuracy remains unmatched."
