Spurwing was founded by Francois Els, who has travelled the globe extensively in search of great service. A firm believer that service standards have dropped around the world over the past 2 decades, he strives to offer super-human service in a region where this is not the norm. “It is not what you know, it’s WHO you know. For visitors, Africa can be very tough and unforgiving, and getting the right advice is not that easy. You need an expert to guide you and show you how to travel Africa in style. In the rapid growing tourism industry we handpick only the best lodges, hotels and other service providers.”
