Your Africa Partner Behind Your Brand
Selling Africa? We’re your team on the ground.
African Expertise + Local Execution = Your reputation with clients maintained.
Waterviews combines North American-facing travel expertise with boots on the ground in Malawi, Uganda and a set of trusted partners across East & Southern Africa. We partner with North American tour operators and travel advisors to design and deliver exceptional African journeys. We understand your business expectations and can make things work in the face of country specific delivery risks. You know your client. We know Africa. We make your clients’ safari+wellness dreams a reality.
Why Partner With Us?
NORTH AMERICAN BUSINESS STANDARDS. LOCAL WHEN IT MATTERS.
We are North American based. You get the destination expertise and local execution of an African operator—combined with a partner who understands how North American travel businesses sell and service their clients.
AFRICAN EXPERTISE-LOCAL EXECUTION
Our team’s lived and extensive travel experience in East & Southern Africa helps you create smarter routes, better combinations and more distinctive journeys. Your clients may be thousands of miles from Africa, but your operational partner shouldn’t be. Our team brings extensive African travel and lived experience, and our field presence gives your clients local teams that can respond when plans change. Your clients are guided and taken care of by trusted and experienced professionals who understand the destination and can help when plans change.
YOUR CLIENT- YOUR BRAND
We work behind the scenes. We understand that the client relationship belongs to you. We support your business according to the partnership model we establish together.
DISTINCT PRODUCT
We help you design—not just operate. We help you design distinctive, profitable itineraries. Bring us the client profile, interests and budget. We’ll help turn the brief into an itinerary worth selling. In addition, our signature Wildlife + Water + Wellness approach creates African journeys that go beyond the standard safari itinerary to ensure your clients enjoy wellness experiences, relaxation, culture and exceptional waterfront (ocean, lake, river, waterfall and waterhole) accomodation wherever available.
BOUTIQUE ATTENTION
No anonymous handoffs. We build relationships with the travel professionals we work with and treat each client brief as an individual journey.
ONE ACCOUNTABLE PARTNER-LESS OPERATIONAL COMPLEXITY
You don’t need to develop relationships with five different DMCs, have an Africa department or hire an Africa specialist, nor do you need to learn destination permitting, routing, lodges, guides, transportation and operational realities. We help coordinate the moving pieces of your African adventures, so you don’t have to manage every local relationship yourself. We handle the complicated local logistics and give your clients reliable support while you retain the customer relationship and your brand. You can concentrate on what you do best.
CONSERVATION, ECO-CONCIOUS AND COMMUNITY IMPACT FOCUSED
We partner with conservation leaders, eco-conscious accommodations, non-profits and community partners to ensure each safari has positive long-term impact for generations to come.
