Action Travel is a Kruger National Park wildlife safaris tour operator based in Phalaborwa, the only town in South Africa bordering the Kruger Park.

Action Travel specializes in honeymoons, photographic safaris, holidays, golf and adventure tours in South Africa, particularly  in the area in and around the Kruger Park, Africa's finest National Park.

Often the holiday package include extension to other countries, such as Mozambique, Botswana, Greece, Mauritius and Abu Dhabi .

Action Travel  was founded in 1999 by Italian-born Andrea Sandri-Boriani, himself a wildlife specialist tour guide, and Hungarian-born Marta Meszaros, a professional nurse with a big passion for Africa.

Action Travel is currently managed by the majority partner Bongani Nxumalo, a young African entrepreneur with eight years experience in organizing Kruger Tours.

Andrea Sandri-Boriani is now operating as a tourism consultant for Action Travel, designing new tours and monitoring the quality of all wildlife safaris, honeymoon tours and incentive packages offered by the company.

Kruger Tours

A Kruger Safari package normally includes two or three days of excursions in the Kruger Park and a two days photographic safaris in an open 4x4 vehicle inside a Private Game Reserve in the Kruger Park area, such Edeni or Kapama.

The two experiences are complementing each other, combining in a single experience the majesty of the Kruger Park with the excitement of the open vehicles off roads photographic safaris.

Kruger Park accommodation may constitute a problem as there are not hotels in the Kruger National Park but Rest Camps, not very high on international standards. Our guests are normally accommodated in a private villa at the exclusive Hans Merensky Hotel & Golf Estate. Occasionally we also use the Kruger Park Lodge (also a golf resort) in Hazyview. 

Daily Tours and Transfers

In addition to chauffeur-driven or self guided overland tours offered throughout Southern Africa, Action Travel provides day tours in and around Phalaborwa to the Kruger National Park, a beautiful river cruise on the Olifants River, and transfers from Johannesburg and to the numerous Private Nature Reserves in the area.

Because of its strategic location, Phalaborwa can be used by international tour operators as a convenient base camp for wildlife, photographic, golfing and hunting safaris.
