Expert Africa

Expert Africa specialises in high-quality, tailor-made trips to selected areas of Southern and East Africa. We are based in the UK, although our travellers come from around the world.

Our parent company, Sunvil Holidays, has been a tour operator since 1970, and operated for several years before then as Cyprus Property Tours. Our Africa programme began in 1991, with one of the first programmes to Namibia of any tour operator. In 1994 the current MD, Chris McIntyre, joined and started to steadily expand the programme further into Africa - ensuring that the highest levels of knowledge and expertise in our specialist countries were developed. In 1995 several of Sunvil Holiday's more adventurous and tailor-made programmes, including Africa, were gathered together under the umbrella of a new name: Sunvil Discovery. In 1997 the Africa programme was split off into a separate daughter-company (called Discovery Worldwide Ltd.) from Sunvil Holidays.
