The AfricanMecca
Concept
The term
AfricanMecca genuinely evolves from a philosophical combination of 2
literal words reflected in our day-to-day operations: the word
"Africa" referring to tourism and destination offerings,
diversity, people, activities, cultures, and all unique and wonderful
opportunities that the African continent has to offer to discerning
guests and the word "Mecca" referring to the coming together.
AfricanMecca's philosophical concept therefore refers to "The
Complete Coming Together Of Africa's Greatest Tourism Offerings From a
Native Perspective."

Standards.
- Logical Approach: We are driven by the simple fact that is
better to give great service the first time around.
- Leadership In The Industry: You can be ascertained by the
fact that we are different from everyone else because we are
standard setters; this is evident from our accommodation gauging and
standardization system, writings about land, our desire to create an
opportunity for guests to review pictures and view online videos of
hundreds of accommodations we promote and the resources we create
awareness about.
- Offering Programs That Work: Because we understand Africa
and the needs of guests who visit us, our programs are proven,
inclusive and open in all regards. It is a fact that no two
organizations, services and programs are alike. Having stated all
the above, we also know our clients come to Africa because they wish
to experience the wildlife, ecology and the related offerings. We
offer our clients the strengths and challenges of each destination
so that the right program choice is made.
What We Are Not And What
We Do Not Do:
- Not Competing To Offer The Lowest Price And The Cheapest
Program: We are not competing to be the lowest priced program
provider. Our programs are based on the corresponding actual costs
of creating, managing and running a quality focused, efficient,
professional and experienced organization. Potential clients who
value quality and reliability need to interact with us to experience
for themselves what it means to have knowledgeable and "hands
on" experienced AfricanMecca destination planners working on
their behalf. 90% afore mentioned actually become clients and
continue to have AfricanMecca operate their complete program in
Africa..
- Not Mass Tourism: We are an organization that does not
engage in Mass Tourism: the act of grouping massive numbers of
people purely to fill quotas, vehicles and accommodation room
nights. We are a customer focused organization that understands that
each visitor to our homeland, be it a single traveler or a group, is
a human, a person, and an individual and each of these mentioned
personalities comes with their own needs, wants and desires. Because
your overall experience in Africa represents the image of our
respective countries, we at AfricanMecca are first concerned about
your excellence derived from our passion to do things right.
- We Do Not Cut Corners: AfricanMecca is customer and
quality-focused organization. We refuse to compromise the safety,
security and comfort of our guests for anything. Just as an example
among the many: to maintain quality standard and reliability for our
road safaris, our customer care centers use certified vehicle parts;
they also thoroughly check and service all vehicles before and after
all safari expeditions and other tour trips, with no exceptions.
- Not Just Another Company Selling Travel To Africa: We are
natives, proud to represent our own countries; we have a reason,
passion, and motivation to be there for our customers and to do what
we do; for these very reasons, our team and the services we offer
can never be compared to those of others in the same industry.
- Not A One Fits All Organization: We intellectually and
methodically design, create and organize all our programs
independently.
- Not An Internet Or A Dot Com Booking Agent: We are an
organization with physical locations at the addresses mentioned in
our contacts. We use Internet technology to nurture a superb, timely
and efficient company and services. The results of our services are
evident in the communication visitors receive when organizing and
arranging their program with us. The results of these efficiencies
are a better-priced program, the savings of which are passed on to
our customers and agents.
