Why We Travel?
We believe that travel is the best education. Travel changes us and we return home seeing with new eyes.
As seasoned travellers, who have lived and worked all over the world, we now call Cape Town our home. Vindigo Travel is a family-run business operated by ourselves and a team of passionate travel professionals.
