Ker & Downey® Africa Launches New Era of Luxury Travel with Innovative Tools
As reported by OurBallSports, Ker & Downey® Africa has stepped into a new era with a complete brand transformation. This includes the integration of Grand Africa Safaris and the launch of two innovative tools: the Safari Planner and the Agent Portal. These changes signal a fresh chapter for the company, promising a more personal, seamless, and emotionally engaging experience for travelers and trade partners alike.
A Reawakening of Luxury Travel
Jenieen van den Heever, COO of Ker & Downey® Africa, explained that this rebrand is about much more than just a new visual identity. “It’s a reawakening of what luxury travel in Africa can be: deeply personal, emotionally charged, and effortlessly elevated,” she said. Guided by the slogan “Go Beyond. Feel Within.,” the brand encourages travelers to engage with Africa on a deeper, more meaningful level.
A Bold New Look and Vision
The refreshed identity features contemporary visuals and an enhanced digital presence, reinforcing Ker & Downey® Africa’s reputation as a leader in emotion-driven travel. The company now emphasizes connecting with clients through curated experiences that are intuitive, elevated, and tailored to each traveler.
Grand Africa Safaris Joins the Family
As part of the rebrand, Grand Africa Safaris, the North America-focused DMC division, is fully integrated into Ker & Downey® Africa. This unification strengthens the company’s global presence and operational efficiency, ensuring a world-class experience for both clients and partners.
Safari Planner: Travel by Emotion
A standout innovation is the new Safari Planner. Rather than starting with a destination, travelers select the emotions they want to experience—whether adventure, amazement, romance, or relaxation—and the platform curates a personalized itinerary. With guidance from expert travel designers, this tool makes planning more intuitive, refined, and tailored to individual desires.
Empowering Agents with the Agent Portal
To support trade partners, the company has launched an Agent Portal, providing travel professionals with everything needed to deliver a seamless service. The portal includes white-label proposals, destination insights, training resources, priority access to exclusive offers, and round-the-clock on-the-ground support. This ensures flawless execution of trips booked through Ker & Downey® Africa.
Setting a New Standard for Luxury Travel
Through these initiatives, Ker & Downey® Africa sets a new benchmark in luxury travel. By combining innovative digital tools, exceptional design, and expert on-the-ground support, the company is transforming travel experiences in Africa for both travelers and trade partners.
