Your Africa Specialist

Introduction 

Since my very first journey to Africa in 1988, the continent has captured my heart and soul. It's not just the breathtaking landscapes or the rich tapestry of cultures; it's the deep connection I've formed with the people, the wildlife, and the profound history that makes this place truly special. Over the years, I've nurtured this passion and turned it into a lifelong pursuit.

A Journey Unveiled

My voyage into the world of tourism began around the year 2000 when I decided to share my love for Africa with the world. This journey has been defined by my unwavering commitment to showcasing the Africa I've come to know and adore. I'm not just interested in the typical tourist attractions; I'm driven by the desire to introduce travelers to the authentic, untold stories that lie beneath the surface.South Africa holds a special place in my heart, with its turbulent history and remarkable people.

The Power of Stories 

Through my work, I've had the privilege of collaborating with individuals like Christo Brand, who served as Nelson Mandela's prison warder and friend. His firsthand accounts of their journey from their first meeting in 1978 until Mandela's passing are awe-inspiring and provide a unique perspective on history.In Soweto, I've had the honor of working with Antoinette Sithole, whose brother Hector Pieterson became a symbol of the fight against apartheid. Through Antoinette, I've gained insights into the courage and resilience of those who stood up against injustice. It's a pleasure for me to introduce friends like Christo and Antoinette to guests visiting South Africa, enabling them to delve deeper into the country's history and culture.

Food and wine

Together with local partners like Niel Els, Honorable past president of Confrérie de la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs and MasterChef Abigail Mbalo of 4 roomed eKasi culture we bring you that inside knowledge of the food and wine culture of South Africa. In 2019 Abigail's restaurant 4roomed eKasi was named by Travel&Leisure as on of the 30 best restaurants in the world. When you travel with me you can be invited to a fantastic lunch in her Khayelitsa home #DiningWithChefAbiAtHomeEkasi.  

Hidden Gems of the Western Cape

My adventures have led me to discover the hidden gems of the Western Cape. Charming small towns like Tulbagh, Riebeek Kastel, Montagu, and Mossel Bay have become my well-kept secrets. These places offer a taste of the true South Africa, far away from the usual tourist hotspots.

Golf in South Africa
If golf is on your bucket list, you have come to the best. In South Africa I work with Scott Edkins of Ascot Tours. Several times best golf tour operator Africa at World Golf Awards. 

Personalized Experiences

When I work with clients, I prioritize listening and understanding their desires and expectations. My goal is not simply to sell them a package but to curate experiences that resonate with their individual preferences. It's about crafting journeys that leave a lasting impression and create cherished memories.

Beyond Borders

Over the years, I've explored numerous African countries, including Kenya, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe, Swaziland, Botswana, Zambia, Namibia, and, of course, South Africa. These journeys have expanded my horizons and deepened my understanding of this diverse and captivating continent.Join me on a voyage of discovery through Africa, where we'll uncover its hidden treasures, embrace its rich history, and connect with its incredible people. Together, we'll create unforgettable experiences that go beyond the ordinary and leave a lasting imprint on your heart and soul. Africa awaits your exploration, and I'm here to make it an extraordinary journey.

Amazing golf trip to South Africa

Reviewed By MJ - Washington DC | Traveled to George ~ South Africa ~ Africa
Rune put together an amazing golf trip to South Africa, for my group in 2023. We had very specific requirements and a tight schedule, and Rune delivered the tee times and the golf courses we wanted, and seamless logistics during our trip. He also recommended and facilitated for us to play some other golf courses in the area, and they did not disappoint. I would recommend Rune and Destination Africa for travellers with specialty requirements, and for travellers who wants a seasoned travel expert to build their itinerary.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
Rune Engstrom responded:
Dear Mads. Thanks a lot. Looking forward to help you put together your next golfing adventure in South Africa or Kenya.

Top quality trip!

Reviewed By Tutu - Oslo, Norway | Traveled to Cape Town ~ South Africa ~ Africa
In 2018, Rune of Destination Africa organized a wonderful trip to Cape Town, for my husband and I, and our 35 guests from different countries. The trip lasted 14 days and contained many great activities and excursions, as well as a large wedding dinner. All our guests were very satisfied with the hotels they stayed in, and all the activities they were offered. Rune came across as very professional and accommodating to us as customers, both in the planning and the execution phase of the trip to Cape Town. My husband and I would give Rune our best recommendations. Greetings from Tutu and Kirya
