TRANSAFRICA, TOURISM TO WEST AFRICA TransAfrica is, since nearly 30 years, your first point of contact when organizing travels and expeditions in West Africa: we are specialized in Benin, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Mali, Mauritania, Niger and Togo and now also in Cote d'Ivoire, Guinea Conakry and Bissau .
TransAfrica offers a full range of expeditions in the region, to discover little-known villages and distant oasis and to acquaint you with unique ethnic peoples and their customs and traditions. Our richness of experience and our deep understanding of the region allow us to offer you a wide selection of itineraries - special trips and great expeditions, that you can find in our calendar - but also tailor-made travels: an expedition with TransAfrica is a truly unforgettable experience.
TransAfrica is formed by three agencies: TransAfrica based in Lome (Togo), TransAfrica Horizon in Aburi (Accra, Ghana) and TransAfrica Mai in Bamako (Mali). We also have offices in Benin, Burkina Faso, Niger, Mauritania and Guinea. Nearly thirty years of experience in Africa, of Sahara crossings and ethno-cultural expeditions, have afforded us a vast and comprehensive knowledge of the region. Over the years, we have established warm and friendly relations with traditional chiefs, priests and ethnic groups and our long-standing reputation allows us to travel freely and easily through virtually undiscovered territory, to even the most remote villages.
Expeditions are our specialty and the passion for discovery is not only a quality of Alberto Nicheli and Roberto Cerea, the two main tour leaders, but of all the TranAfrica staff. The places that feature on our itineraries are especially chosen to ensure that your experience with us takes you straight to the heart of authentic Africa: traditional festivals, tribal customs, initiation rites, markets, architecture, masks, the Saharan caravan routes, stone age rock engravings, forgotten oases, archaeological sites – we touch on all of these by way of remote routes and tracks that are still largely unexplored today.
As a direct result of both our logistical/technical experience and the privileged relationships we enjoy with the peoples who inhabit the region, our services are often enlisted by field groups researching the area. To date, we have worked with Discovery Channel, National Geographic, National Public Radio (USA), Indigo Films (USA), RAI (National Italian Television) and Canale 5 (an Independent Italian TV network), assisting with their production of special reports and documentaries in the region. TransAfrica is also one of the main contacts for Tour Operators in Europe and America. We guarantee attention to details and a high quality of service: our experienced guides, our well-equipped vehicles and our fine catering provision combine to provide a seamless, experience-enhancing backdrop to your journey with us. You can contact us directly: by email (transafrica@transafrica.biz), by phone (00228 2216823) or fax (00228 2218852) or again, in Italy, by mobile: +39 3393184766.
