Travel isn't what we do - it's who we are.

At Bunnik Tours, we’re serious about travel. So much so that in 1995 we started a family-run business. Fast forward 30 years, and we’re still doing what we love: designing meaningful and rewarding small group travel experiences that create lasting memories. We like to think of ourselves as the OG small group touring experts – it’s been our bread and butter long before it became a ‘thing’.

We founded Bunnik Tours to give like-minded travellers the kind of small group tours we'd want to go on ourselves… and we do. With no more than 20 people per group (maximum of 12 in Africa), our itineraries strike the right balance between just enough guidance and the freedom to explore.

We've put everything you've ever wanted to see and do (plus a few hidden gems) into our all-considered tours. That’s right, we’ve taken care of everything for you. All you need to worry about is having the time of your life.

We care about making travel better through small group tours that go beyond the expected to deliver more meaningful moments of connection. If you’re only going to travel somewhere once, we make it count.

In fact, the only thing we love more than travel is doing it together. It's not just about where you go – it's who you go with. So, come along with the travellers who've been travelling since day dot – we'll show you a thing or two.
