Travel in a luxury Mercedes Sprinter bus, and visit places that is culturally and historically captivating. We know our destinations well, and are friends with the local people who are always on hand to provide interesting stories of their history, and are passionate of the area they call home. Travel with smaller groups, seeing real places and improving the well-being of the people living in the different areas.

Frik and Lizette Olwage, owners of Eco Ventures, have extensive knowledge of all the Regions in Southern Africa and offer excellent holidays and value for money, with time to explore away from the rush of bigger groups. Our guided trips offer a full package including arranging and booking of all accommodation, meals and transport. Customised tours and group bookings are available on request.
