- 10 Reasons why you should book with South Africa 365

Marcus Brain
Managing Director

Background: Born and bred in South Africa, I completed my schooling in Cape Town and went on to finish honours degrees in both Marketing and Finance at the University of Cape Town. With a passion for all Africa offers, the decision to start an internet based tour operator was an obvious one.

Business Ethos: We consider ourselves privileged to be involved in a business such as South Africa 365. It operates in a landscape that merges the best of technology, foreign exchange and tourism, where we are able embrace the internet to share Southern Africa to the world, whilst driving much needed foreign currency into the region.

And the name South Africa 365? Although we now offer specialist travel services to 6 different African countries, our primary market is still South Africa. We find that travelers to Sub Saharan Africa use South Africa as a springboard to destinations outside of our borders, and few of our clients don’t spend at least a few days in South Africa. The 365 implies we offer destinations for 365 days of the year (and we think its quite catchy addition)
