Hartley’s Safaris and Oceans & Islands

WHO……?

We are an independent bespoke tour operator with offices situated in Johannesburg, South Africa and Lincoln in the United Kingdom.

Hartley’s pride ourselves on having two specialist divisions, Hartley’s Safaris and Hartley’s Oceans & Islands.

The name Hartley’s has been synonymous with Africa since 1834. Our origins are set deep in the Okavango Delta in Botswana, where David Hartley, one of the doyens of the safari industry operated Xugana Island Lodge, Xugana Mokoro Trails & Tsaro Elephant Lodge for 26 years. A natural extension of his lodge and charter operations was a tour organisation specializing in tailor made safaris to Southern, Central & East Africa.

In 2001, our Johannesburg office opened the ‘Hartley’s Ocean & Islands’ division with a focus on Island holidays and particular specialist knowledge on scuba diving. For the South African outbound traveller we offer holidays to remote island & beach wilderness destinations all over the world and for the inbound international traveller we offer specialist knowledge of Southern & East Africa’s diving & beach destinations.

The Hartley’s Team have secured a vast network of contacts, with direct access to all hotels, lodges, flights and transfers thus ensuring at competitive pricing. As a company, we are extremely proud of our respected and long standing reputation within the travel industry.
