About us

Our passion for creating hand-crafted experiences began in Africa over 25 years ago, and has expanded to include the mysteries of Australia. Over the years we have honed our craft; exploring and connecting with some of the most exceptional people and places in Africa and Australia. We love to share these with our guests, from the pulse-racing wildebeest migration across the plains of the Serengeti, to the breathtaking silence of diving the Great Barrier Reef.

SunCovered are specialists at tailoring experiences to suit each guest. From dream honeymoons to multi-generational family holidays; once in a lifetime African Safaris to rail journeys through the Australian Outback, we craft every itinerary to ensure that our guests make the mot of every moment. Our passion for authentic, immersive travel drives us to craft the most personalised, unforgettable experiences.

We believe that our earth is precious. We understand that it is our responsibility to actively promote and educate travelers about responsible and sustainable tourism. We strive to empower the local communities and indigenous people that we encounter. Conservation and preservation of the natural environment is paramount as we hold the future of our planet in our hands. We therefore work with like-minded ground-handlers who are as passionate about planet earth as we are, and we encourage our guests to be responsible travelers.

Take the time to learn about the destination you are traveling to. Read about local cultures and customs and learn a few words of the local language. Your hosts will appreciate the effort.

Consider whether you could pack any items in your luggage that may be of use to local people.

We recommend: www.packforapurpose.org

• Shop local. Take time to appreciate the local cuisine with local produce.
• Do not purchase curios made from endangered species or hard woods. Local vendors may push you to buy items. Please do not support these vendors.
• Do not donate money to people on the streets. Very often this money is used to support unsavory habits. If you wish to make a difference, ask your guide where you can donate responsibly.
• Respect local cultures and traditions. Ask your guide if you are not sure.
• Use water sparingly. Water is a very precious resource and must be used as sparingly as possible.
• Recycle. Non-biodegradable waste is difficult to dispose of in many countries. Make sure you recycle wherever possible.

Get involved! Consider pledging towards a worthy cause – particularly in Africa. We recommend the following:

Sadly, many tourist activities that involve mistreatment of animals exist because tourists support them. Many animals in captivity are denied their basic needs. Posing for photographs with wild animals, riding on wild animals or walking with dangerous predators is animal cruelty. Very often these animals are drugged to control their behavior.
