ABOUT DAS TRAVEL
Chris has been travelling all his life and loves the opportunity to see and experience what one usually only sees on television. After having sold his financial services firm in 2022, Chris’s retirement project is sharing his love for South Africa with discerning travelers like yourself.
WHAT SETS US APART:
SMALL GROUPS, BIG EXPERIENCES
Our small group size is our biggest differentiator. Traveling together in one vehicle allows for spontaneous detours, deeper conversations, and a more connected travel experience. It also allows us to book our safari lodge on an “exclusive use” basis, providing an unparalleled level of intimacy and personalized service.
CURATED BY AN EXPERT
Our itineraries aren’t just pulled from a brochure. Chris has personally visited every location we feature, hand-picking each destination and experience because they are truly worth your time. This insider knowledge ensures you’re seeing the best of South Africa, with hidden gems and local insights you wouldn’t find on a typical tour.
CONECT WITH THE LOCAL CULTURE
We believe that travel is about more than just seeing the sights; it’s about connecting with and learning from the locals. We arrange opportunities for you to meet and share meals with South Africans, giving you a unique glimpse into their culture and way of life. One highlight is the opportunity to share a ‘braai’ with a group of South Africans.
IMMERSIVE STAYS
We don’t believe in rushing from place to place. We spend several days at each location, allowing you to truly immerse yourself in the surroundings and develop a genuine feel for the area. This slower pace allows for relaxation, exploration, and a deeper appreciation for the beauty and diversity of South Africa.
The last portion of the trip is often the highlight for our guests as we head off to a four-night safari where we have the opportunity to see the Big Five and the early morning privilege to watch the sunrise over the African landscape.
