Paul Le Roux
You'd be hard pressed to find a list of the who's who's in the hospitality industry without Paul Le Roux’s name on it. Originally planning to be a chartered account, Paul came first in South Africa in his articles exams, but with a personality like his he just wasn't destined to be stuck behind a desk. Paul has the uncanny ability to understand exactly what it is you want before you even know yourself. He started the famous Bishops Court luxury guesthouse in Cape Town, and after a few years of fine tuning he was comfortable enough to let go of the reigns and move onto new challenges. He soon started up his own restaurant - Cafe Roux in Noordhoek - one of the area’s most successful restaurants and a Sunday lunch family favourite, and once that was going he decided to get involved in the travel industry once again and became an integral part of Perfect Africa, where he is - probably even as you read this - dreaming up new ways to improve your holidays with us.

Mark Prevost
If you saw Mark at work you may be excused for thinking he was a techno-junkie - that's probably because he is. As long as some part of whatever it is he is working on can be attached in any way to a computer Mark, or Sparky as he is known to his friends, will be able to fix it. Luckily for him, and for us, he has another completely different side to him. Mark and Nic actually first met in Malawi on an out of the way beach while they were backpacking through Africa - a trip that seems to have had quite an impact on both their lives. Mark now heads up the technical team at Perfect Africa and has managed to succinctly blend his two favourite pastimes together - fiddling with electronics and adventuring through Africa.

Read more/CloseBooking with Perfect Africa
Read more/CloseSouthern and East Africa is a vast, exciting, awe-inspiring, unexpected, adventure-filled, luxury, rough and rustic place to visit - filled with wild animals, ancient tribal cultures and the untamed forces of nature. At Perfect Africa we have collectively covered every inch of it - not because we had to - but because we love it. Africa is in our blood and we want to share that passion and our experiences with as many people out there as we can.
We are on hand to offer you real advice - our opinions are born from experience, not a merely desire to make a profit and we aim to fit you to the best properties and safaris that we can, rather than try and cajole you into booking somewhere that doesn’t suit your individual needs. We will be able to book your holiday for 5 - 10% less than if you went directly to the lodges themselves. This is because we have excellent relationships with all the accommodations we represent and we have been able to secure brilliant rates with them for you - and due to these relationships we are also able to ensure that your vacation is as hassle free as it can possibly be.
We have a firm belief that good advice will get us a lot further than simply selling any luxury African safari lodges. We want to ensure that your time in Africa far exceeds your expectations so that when you go home, you leave Africa knowing full well you will be back a lot sooner than you ever expected to be.
Our Travel Experts will ask you many questions to try and find out a bit more about who you are. This is very important as the wealth of different lodges, guesthouses and hotels that we have chosen to represent each have very distinctive characteristics and qualities. All of them adhere to the same standards of excellence, yet each is unique in its offering and only by properly understanding what your perception of an African safari is can we recommend the most suitable places for you to enjoy your time at.
We pride ourselves on our upfront critiques of any accommodations or experiences that we have chosen to represent, so you can be assured you will always be pleased with the decisions you finally come to.
