For travel agents worldwide looking to confidently deliver complex travel experiences across Southern and East Africa, choosing the right ground handler is paramount. Ascot Tours operates exclusively as a B2B Destination Management Company (DMC), ensuring that international travel advisors receive access, expertise, and operational reliability for their travel clients. Here is why Ascot Tours is the trusted B2B tour operator for global travel professionals.
Partnership, Not Competition
As a dedicated B2B partner, Ascot Tours operates under a simple guarantee: we only work with the trade. This exclusive focus allows us to offer specialized services designed purely for travel agents. We provide competitive, protected net rates, ensuring your profitability remains intact.
Furthermore, our decades-long presence in the region means we secure coveted tee times, premium accommodation allocations, and essential permits, often where others face limitations. From private transfers and internal flights to specialized insurance and rapid response support, we handle the intricate operational details, allowing you to focus purely on client relationships and sales.
Custom Itineraries
While Ascot Tours began as the definitive specialist in African Golf Tours, our offering as your B2B tour operator has expanded significantly. We do not just book golf; we design multi-layered, customized African experiences. We combine your clients’ passion points to create unique itineraries:
| Experience Type | Key Destinations & Activities |
|---|---|
| Golf & Safari | Securing rounds at championship courses like Fancourt, Leopard Creek, and Sun City, instantly followed by private Big Five safari experiences in the Sabi Sand or Kruger National Park. |
| Leisure & Culture | Designing non-golfing activities such as private wine tastings in the Cape Winelands (Stellenbosch, Franschhoek), cultural tours of Cape Town (Robben Island, Table Mountain), and exploring the dramatic Garden Route. |
| Adventure & Wildlife | Building multi-country itineraries that include Gorilla Trekking in Uganda, witnessing the majestic Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe/Zambia), and exploring the vast landscapes of Namibia (Sossusvlei). |
Crucially, every single itinerary is built from the ground up. Whether your client needs a seven-day leisure escape, a demanding 20-day Pan-African expedition, or a golf-free safari for a non-golfer spouse, our custom design capability ensures their dream journey is realized with precision.
The Tropical Indian Ocean Islands
South Africa often serves as the perfect launchpad or concluding stop for a luxurious African safari. Ascot Tours specializes in packaging the excitement of safari with the Indian Ocean Islands. We provide logistics, connecting flights, and hand-picked luxury resorts in the region’s finest archipelagos. We expertly feature and discuss several popular destinations:
Mauritius: Known for its volcanic beauty, crystal-clear lagoons, and family-friendly, all-inclusive luxury resorts. Mauritius is ideal for couples, honeymooners, and families seeking soft adventure (like snorkeling and catamaran cruises) and high-end relaxation. It provides an excellent, accessible beach component after a thrilling safari.
Seychelles: Synonymous with bature and exclusivity. Seychelles is defined by its granite boulders, UNESCO World Heritage sites (like the Vallée de Mai), and ultra-luxury private island escapes. It offers a quieter, more romantic, and often higher-end leisure experience.
Zanzibar: For clients who want an island extension with a richer cultural layer. Zanzibar offers white sandy beaches and the historic Stone Town, a UNESCO site. It connects easily with East African safaris (Kenya and Tanzania) but is also an exciting add-on to the Southern Africa region.
By including these destinations, we help you sell a complete “Bush to Beach” itinerary, maximising client satisfaction and your overall booking value.
The Ascot Tours Team
The true differentiator for Ascot Tours is our people. We believe that behind every flawless itinerary is an expert consultant. Our team is composed of highly experienced, senior travel consultants who possess deep, first-hand regional knowledge.
Many of our consultants have spent decades creating African holidays, mastering the nuances of logistics, seasonal changes, and accommodation quality across multiple countries. This seniority means they can advise on everything from the best private game reserves for leopard viewing to the most scenic coastal golf holes, ensuring every recommendation is based on verified experience.
Agents work directly with a dedicated team member who understands their business needs and their clients’ unique profile, guaranteeing a consistent, high-quality service from the initial inquiry to final execution.
Partner with Ascot Tours to leverage our seniority and specialized knowledge, turning complex African travel logistics into effortless, five-star experiences for your clients.
