From 5 to 7 February 2026, the Brabanthallen in ‘s-Hertogenbosch will be transformed into the festival floor of the very first edition of the Holiday Festival, the new travel lifestyle event where destinations, travel organizations and travel lifestyle brands come together in an atmospheric mix of inspiration, advice and entertainment.
As part of the VvKR, Orange Africa Travel presents itself to the public with small-scale, personal, and purely African travel experiences that connect travelers with nature, culture, and local communities.
Journeys that make Africa tangible
Orange Africa Travel specializes in tailor-made trips to a variety of African countries, from savannahs and deserts to rainforests and coastal areas. The organization works closely with local partners, ensuring authentic experiences that go beyond the well-known highlights. Their trips are distinguished by their small scale, respect for nature and culture and a deep-rooted passion for the continent.
“Africa is not a destination that you only see, you have to experience it,” says Jan van Woerden of Orange Africa Travel. “The smells, the silence, the people and the landscape together form a feeling that stays with you. At the Holiday Festival, we want visitors to discover that Africa can not only be great, but also close and accessible.”
A meaningful addition to the festival experience
According to Frits Kuijper, creative director of the Vakantie Festival, Orange Africa Travel brings a warm, pure dimension to the event. “They take visitors to the soul of Africa. The peace, the rhythm and the stories they share touch people in a way that fits what we want to radiate.”
T.J. van Apeldoorn, strategic director of the Holiday Festival, sees their participation as a reinforcement of the small-scale character within the travel industry. “With Orange Africa Travel, we show how valuable committed and specialized travel organizations are. Their personal approach and respect for the continent add a lot to the diversity of our festival.”
