From 5 to 7 February 2026, the Brabanthallen in ‘s-Hertogenbosch will be the lively backdrop for the very first Holiday Festival: a new travel lifestyle event where destinations, travel organisations and travel brands come together in an inspiring mix of advice, experience and entertainment.
As a member of the VvKR, African Travels presents itself here as the Africa specialist for travelers of all ages, with an offer that varies from individual tailor-made trips to carefully composed group trips.
Authentic trips for every target group
African Travels designs small-scale and sustainable trips through South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda, among others. The trips vary in style — from adventurous camping safaris and youth group tours to comfortable lodge safaris, family trips and luxury customization. Each trip is tailored to a specific target group, but always with the same core values: personal, adventurous, responsible and with attention to real encounters.
‘Africa touches you and changes you as a traveler’
‘A trip to Africa opens up a new world, says Marijnke Vincent of African Travels. ‘Whether you are young or experienced, looking for adventure or relaxation: Africa leaves no one untouched. During the Holiday Festival, we will show how our trips help connect travelers with nature, with local communities and with themselves.’
Meaningful addition to the Holiday Festival
According to Frits Kuijper, creative director of the Holiday Festival, African Travels brings a warm, human and adventurous dimension to the event. ‘They create journeys that have a real impact. Thanks to their specialist knowledge and committed approach, visitors get a realistic and inspiring picture of what makes travelling in Africa so special.’
Strategic director T.J. van Apeldoorn adds: “African Travels fits perfectly within our ambition to present a diverse and high-quality offer. Their expertise in both individual tailor-made trips and target group-oriented group trips makes them a valuable participant for travelers of all ages.”
