WOW! I am not sure where you would find a list of travel agents based in Africa, I am sure there are thousands upon thousands. For South Africa perhaps try ASATA or SATSA. Maybe you will find luck there, otherwise I am really not sure. Sorry I cant be more help.

Hi there, Are you looking to get advice and book a holiday to Africa, in which case there are a number that I know of based here in Cape Town. But if you are just looking for a comprehensive list then start with ASATA and SATSA asCatherine.S suggested.

The only surefire way is to hit the street and try a few. I’m a TA but I often go to competitors in nearby suburbs wearing ‘civilian clothes’ and requesting the same quote from each. The first 90 seconds tend to tell me everything: knowledge without relying on a computer or brochure, open ended questions and service level. Yep, it’s a waste of their time, but for me it’s vital to know what our competition is offering in terms of product and service (plus I’m sure some do it to me). I’d suggest to drop into a few offices and put them to work. Asking to speak to the manager tends to help; they’ll have usually been around longer, will (hopefully) have extensive knowledge and will have learnt what customers expect from a TA. And try all brands - of the two most knowledgeable agents I know, one works in a city-based store for that big mob, the other for a tiny boutique outfit.

The industry is an increasingly difficult one and unfortunately this means that it doesn’t always attract the most desirable applicants. Expect to get a few duds along the way, but you’ll eventually find one that fits your requirements.
