Africa Tour Guide

Africa remains one of the most underrated yet extraordinary continents for international travel, and Indian tourists are beginning to discover its wild beauty. From the Pyramids of Egypt and Morocco’s colourful souks to Kenya’s thrilling safaris and South Africa’s stunning coastlines, Africa is a land of contrasts and rich traditions. The best part? Many African countries offer e-visas or visa-on-arrival for Indian travellers, and several flight connections from India are increasingly affordable.

Our Africa travel guide highlights the best countries to visit, including South Africa, Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania, and Morocco. It covers everything Indian tourists need: visa information, budget estimates, top cities, must-do experiences (like Maasai Mara safaris or Nile cruises), travel insurance guidance, and health safety tips. For wildlife lovers, culture seekers, and even honeymooners looking for offbeat luxury, Africa offers it all. This guide is your trusted companion to explore Africa safely, meaningfully, and affordably. Whether you seek adventure, culture, or serene landscapes, this guide ensures Indian travellers can plan their African journey with confidence and make memories that last a lifetime.

Great experience for us. There was help for us at every point. If any going out for the first time i could recommend them. Rajalakshmi and the ground team were always in contact with us irrespective of the time zones. I liked the 24 x 7 availability of the teams and they were able to make the last minute changes.

Recently, my husband, our in-laws, our nine-month-old baby, and I went on a 3N/4D trip to Bangkok and Pattaya. More than us, our 60-year-old parents thoroughly enjoyed the trip and were genuinely impressed with how impeccably everything was organized. Our vehicles arrived on time, and every place listed in our itinerary was covered seamlessly. We never had to contact the local support team because everything ran smoothly and nothing went wrong. So, why not 5 stars? If one only considers the logistical aspects, theres no doubt this deserves five stars. Our parents even urged us multiple times to leave a glowing five-star review! However, my husband and I did feel a bit disappointed by the overly mechanical nature of the app-based coordination. It lacked a human touchwe never really felt that someone cared about our trip personally. Instead, it felt like we were being guided by a well-oiled machine, which, while delivering a wonderful outcome, felt impersonal. This is something we missedbut to be fair, Im not even sure how many people would want or expect that kind of personal connection. Still, Im sharing this perspective for those of you who might prefer your travels to be executed with a bit more human warmth, rather than just mechanical perfection. No other complaints!

I was planning for an international trip for my parents since a very long time and was very unsure if should plan or not since the budget and itinerary provided by various other travel companies and agents were very pricey However PYT provided a top notch service right from planning to expenses and execution of trip I did not need to co ordinate anything as everything was pre arranged and on time they also considered any changes requested as we were travelling with senior citizens Overall i would recommend PYT if you are not able to plan trip on your own or issues with expenses or travelling with family and want a seamless enjoyable vacation

The trip was organised really systematically with help rendered at each and every step from the team . The driver were good enough following the time and also helpful sharing the local information . The food was too good and on request customized too. The only unsatisfactory thing was about the hotel at Ubud certain things in the hotel were problematic like the door not getting closed or the bathroom door with transparent glass directly opening to the fields making it little uncomfortable to bath . Otherwise everything was good
