Welcome to Soul of Africa Travel.

My name is Galina Gospodinova a Bulgarian travel specialist in South Africa, and I have called Cape Town home for more than 23 years.
As a Southern Africa travel specialist, I design private guided tours of South Africa and luxury safaris across South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia and beyond. Whether you dream of private tours in Cape Town, watching elephants in Chobe, experiencing Victoria Falls, or spotting the Big Five in Kruger National Park, every tailor-made African holiday is built with care and attention to detail.
Having personally explored these destinations and built trusted relationships with local partners, I offer insider knowledge, honest advice, and seamless planning from start to finish.
My goal is simple: to create unforgettable journeys that feel personal, authentic, and perfectly suited to you.
I look forward to helping you discover the soul of Africa.
Today I live in Cape Town, where the ocean and the mountain frame every morning. I'm a licensed local guide, and for over two decades I've been walking, driving, listening, and learning across this continent from the quiet vastness of the Kruger Park to the noisy colour of a Cape Town market.
I work with small private groups and families, usually between two and thirty travellers. Every itinerary I write is built by hand, around your pace, your curiosity, and the stories you want to bring home.
For me, this work is personal. The wildlife, the landscapes, the people I've known here for years, they're part of the gift I get to share. My hope is that when you leave, Africa doesn't feel like a destination you visited. It feels like a part of your own story.
