A LOVE FOR AFRICA TURNED INTO UNFORGETTABLE ESCAPES
Alpha Escapes was born from a desire to share the real Africa — the untamed, soulful, and magical corners of Southern and Eastern Africa that most traveler's' never see. Founded by an African enthusiast, who grew up on Zimbabwe’s wild landscapes. Alpha Escapes exists to turn curiosity into connection. Every journey we craft is guided by heart, local insight, and an intimate knowledge of the land.
THE HEART & SOUL BEHIND
"Adventure isn't a vacation — it was a way to escape the ordinary.”
Alpha Escapes' connection to Africa began in Zimbabwe, shaped by open skies, dusty farm roads, and a childhood spent immersed in wildlife and culture. What started as curiosity grew into an adventure of exploration — from remote bush camps and untamed wilderness to quiet coastlines and vibrant communities.
That lived experience is the foundation of Alpha Escapes. Every journey is thoughtfully designed to go beyond the surface, inviting travelers to experience Africa with depth, respect, and intention — through its landscapes, its people, and the stories that bring them to life.

A MESSAGE FROM ME TO YOU:
I grew up in Zimbabwe, where adventure wasn’t planned and nature wasn’t a backdrop — it was simply part of everyday life. Those early years shaped the way I see travel: not as something rushed or boxed in, but as something felt, lived, and remembered.
As I explored more of the continent, I realised how much of Africa is still misunderstood — and how deeply special it feels when you experience it the right way. Alpha Escapes was born from a simple desire: to share the Africa I know and love, honestly and thoughtfully.
Every journey I create is personal. It’s built with care, local knowledge, and a genuine connection to the places and people who make each destination unique. Whether you’re watching the sun dip below the horizon on safari, travelling through remote landscapes, or slowing down along a hidden stretch of coastline, my hope is that you feel Africa the way I do — grounded, inspired, and truly connected.
Let’s journey beyond the map.
Your great escape starts here.
