The 'Wild With Zola' Experience

Zola pioneers a new era of travel in Africa with 'conscious luxury'. At its heart, Zola is not just a travel agent but a curator of extraordinary adventures that deepen your connection to the land, wildlife, and local communities. Our unique approach focuses on smaller, often owner-operated destinations that excel in understated luxury, seamlessly blending with local culture and traditions. We meticulously select spaces and partners that actively reduce their environmental footprint and contribute to conservation efforts.

Whether you are dreaming of a first-hand meeting with the Big 5, getting  close to a gorilla, witnessing The Great Migration––one of the planet's most spectacular natural events, getting immersed into culture, or simply relaxing on a pristine beach, our experts will tell you how and where – with a positive impact in mind.

Positive Impact OnWild Spaces

Africa's wild spaces are home to some of the most iconic wildlife on Earth, from majestic elephants and lions to rare and endangered species like the black rhino and the mountain gorilla. These ecosystems are not only vital for the survival of these species but also play a crucial role in global environmental health.

Preserving African wild spaces also fosters sustainable tourism, which is a lifeline for many local economies and promotes a deeper understanding and respect for nature among visitors from around the globe. By supporting these spaces, we're investing in the future of our planet, ensuring that future generations can enjoy and learn from the natural wonders that Africa has to offer.
