ABOUT THE FOUNDER
A love for Africa and a passion for hard work. These are the two things that Nalah Africa Safaris was born out of and continue to inform its vision. Founded by South-African born Lelanie Cajiao, Nalah Africa is the realisation of a dream – to share her love of Africa with people all over the world. An avid nature lover and wildlife conservationist, Lelanie carefully creates, crafts and curates safaris and exclusive African experiences that leave its clients spellbound by the continent’s generous spirit, peace and beauty, and delighted by its warmth, friendliness and the gentle luxury of life ‘on safari’.
WHY BOOK WITH US?
A big, internet-era question! You certainly don’t want to arrive in Africa only to find that the lodge with the nice website isn’t quite as lovely as advertised, or that the Cape Region wineries are closed for a holiday. You don’t want to scramble all alone when a bush flight is cancelled, or a hotel or lodge has misplaced your reservation. And you definitely don’t want to miss out on an experience or place you might never have heard of back home.
Nalah Africa’s vast experience and knowledge allow us to squash potential problems before they arise, and solve them decisively, on the spot, if they do. We’re proudly, unfailingly committed to service—it’s a hallmark of our successful business. Peace of mind is an essential ingredient of any great trip, and ensuring it is our unstinting mission.
AFRICAN TRAVEL SPECIALISTS
Our safari specialists are passionate travellers who’ve been to all of our top destinations. This personal experience together with expert knowledge is an unbeatable combination when picking the perfect lodge or private reserve. They know which remote tented camp will be your honeymoon highlight, or where to go if you’re a keen photographer who longs for that National Geographic shot. Years of travel experience have led to many a great story to share. You may get a dose of travel envy, but stick with us and you’ll soon have some make-your-friends-jealous safari stories of your own.
MADE IN AFRICA
We enjoy direct relationships with numerous suppliers across Africa. Based in the city of gold, Johannesburg, we’re on the ground which allows us to cut out agents and the middlemen, delivering you the best pricing possible.
FINANCIAL PEACE OF MIND
Chances are you’ll book your safari many months in advance of your travel dates. How do you know that your deposit will be safe?
Southern African Travel is bonded by the South African Tourism Services Association (SATSA) so any money paid to us receives a third party guarantee. That’s financial peace of mind that doesn’t cost you a cent.
REAL VALUE AT A FAIR PRICE
When travel deals focus on being cheap, their purpose is to meet sales targets, not your needs. We believe in being the co-creators of your dream safari. Our job is to recommend the right suppliers and negotiate hard with them to give you the best possible value.
BESPOKE, TAILOR-MADE, ITINERARIES
At Nalah Africa Safaris we specialise in one-of-a-kind itineraries. Our website showcases a selection of sample itineraries: African adventure tours, family holidays and honeymoon safaris(amongst others) – but think of these as a starting point; travel inspiration that will be tweaked and changed with personal touches added according to your individual needs. Each of our tours and safaris is prepared with integrity, creativity and attention to detail. We carefully plan every detail of your holiday including choosing just the right lodges and hotels and arranging faultless logistics, while offering insider tips and must-do recommendations along the way.
