In a region where the wild heart of Africa beats strongest, Zaf Travel and Tourism has emerged as the undisputed leader in luxury, reliable, and eco-conscious safari transfer services across KwaZulu-Natal’s premier game reserves. From the rugged hills of Babanango Game Reserve to the predator-rich plains of Hluhluwe-iMfolozi, the Big 5 majesty of Manyoni, the birding haven of Pongola, and the iconic Nambiti Private Game Reserve, Zaf Travel is rewriting the script on what it means to arrive in the wild — seamlessly, safely, and in style.
The Zaf Travel Edge
Founded on principles of precision logistics, guest safety, and unmatched service standards, Zaf Travel has become a preferred partner for discerning travelers, international tour operators, and conservation lodges alike. Their fleet of premium, climate-conscious vehicles — including black Mercedes-Benz minivans, executive minibuses, and baby-seat equipped family shuttles — are maintained to stringent standards and operated by professional, trained chauffeurs with deep knowledge of the province’s landscape and tourism sector.
What truly sets Zaf Travel apart is its ability to merge efficiency with experience. Guests don’t just get from King Shaka International Airport to the lodge — they journey with context. Zaf drivers double as local ambassadors, enriching each kilometer with insight into Zulu culture, regional conservation stories, and the natural heritage surrounding each destination.
