Open Africa

Open Africa is a social enterprise that works with small businesses to establish rural tourism routes that offer travellers authentic experiences, while generating income and jobs for local people. The routes (similar in concept to wine routes) are marketed via the Open Africa website to travellers who, by travelling along a route support these local enterprises, thereby creating and sustaining jobs. To date 64 self-drive travel routes across six countries support 2,482 businesses and employ 28,497 people. 1. As an organisation or individual, you can partner with us in socio-economic / enterprise development projects 2. As a traveller, visit our off-the-beaten track self-drive travel routes for a life enriching, off-the-beaten-track experience while sustaining much-needed jobs in local communities.
