An African operator, specialist in West, Central and East Africa.

About

We help you compose your journey.

Outback Africa is an independent adventure tour operator, specialising in an Africa that is still little-known yet utterly spectacular: Benin, Togo, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroon, Gabon, Congo, DR Congo, Chad, São Tomé & Príncipe, Mali, Uganda and beyond.

We work hand in hand with local communities at every stage of the journey. You travel knowing that your presence directly supports the economies of the regions you visit.

Why we're here

We believe in travel that upholds our collective responsibility towards positive social and environmental change.

We are an African operator. Adventure and a deep knowledge of the terrain are at the heart of everything we do, in the service of travellers from all over the world.

Since our beginnings, our ambition has been to open routes to the most remote and best-preserved places in West and Central Africa.

Your journeys contribute to many local initiatives: education, women's empowerment, heritage preservation. A concrete difference, made on the ground.

We also work to reduce the footprint of every project, so that discovery remains sustainable.

Our purpose

Travel that matters.

From the great apes of the Central African rainforest to the communities living at the forest's edge, the wild and the human are inseparable. Travelling responsibly — and making a real difference — sits at the heart of everything we do.
