    OUR STORY

    A Journey that
    Began with a Passion

    In 2004, founders Robin and Stella Mountain took a group of friends and colleagues on a trip to their homeland—Southern Africa. Inspired by the profound impact of that journey and encouraged by their guests, they founded Ntaba Tours in 2005.

    Our Journey

    2004

    The Beginning

    Ntaba Africa was born out of a deep passion for sharing the authentic soul of Africa with the world, starting with intimate guided tours.

    2015

    Growing Steadily

    By 2014, Ntaba had become one of North America's leading luxury Tour Operators to Africa, thanks to:

    • Custom group tours for alumni, churches, and special interest organizations
    • Personalized safaris for independent travelers
    • Honeymoon and milestone experiences
    • A deeply personal approach that connects travelers to the heart of Africa
    understanding the difference

    From Tour Operator to Global DMC

    For travelers and industry professionals alike, the terms may sound interchangeable –
    but they serve very different roles.

    Tour Operator
    Tour Operators specialize in creating packaged holidays and providing streamlined travel planning for individuals, couples, and groups. They act as a one-stop shop for holiday bookings, using their extensive destination knowledge to secure the best value and experience.
    Destination Management Company
    DMCs are on-the-ground experts with deep local insight. They curate immersive, bespoke itineraries, offer real-time travel support, and work closely with global travel advisors to deliver unique, high-touch experiences that go far beyond the standard package.
    And now, Ntaba African Safaris is proud to be both

    The Ntaba Difference

    It's not just what we offer - it's how we deliver it.

    With team members based in both the United States and Africa, and a deeply rooted network of local partners, Ntaba African Safaris has earned a reputation for luxury, reliability, and authenticity. From 2008’s recession to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Ntaba team has remained resilient, even launching successful spin-off ventures like Ntaba Coffee Haus and Ntaba Taste of Africa to continue supporting African communities.

    Ntaba Africa DMC

    In 2025, Robin and Stella returned to their roots and officially opened an office in South Africa, registering Ntaba African Safaris as a Destination Management Company.

    With an already strong U.S. presence, we now provide seamless support and service across continents—with staff based in the Eastern and Central U.S. time zones, as well as in Southern Africa.

    In addition, Ntaba Africa DMC has expanded its global footprint through exciting new partnerships with The Perfections Group, opening offices in Germany and Australia.
