Travel Butlers - United Kingdom

Travel Butlers help thousands of people plan and book their trip to Africa each year, and all of our consultants are experts with at least 8 years experience of the region. 
 
Because we appreciate that everyone is different, we tailor every trip to each client's specific requirements rather than work on a 'one size fits all' approach.  If you click here you can see examples of some of the trips we can organise for you. 
We put a lot of care and thought into planning the right holiday for you – and we really do not mind how many times we make changes, as long as at the end of the day, you get the holiday you want and which has not blown your holiday budget out of the water !
We are always on the end of the phone or email to answer any questions or queries that you may have.
Our customers are extremely happy with our services – but don't just take our word for it, take a look at some of the recent comments we have received.
 
We are ATOL bonded, so if you book a holiday with us that includes any flights, your holiday will be covered by this licence.
If you book any other package with us (so a combination of accommodation plus a hire car and / or a transfer), then you trip will be covered under our TOPP policy
