The Sunvil Group has sold its Expert Africa brand to Managing Director Chris McIntyre in a management buyout.
Chris originally worked for Sunvil before becoming a founding partner in Expert Africa when it launched in 1994.
It’s now one of the leading specialists to Sub-Saharan Africa and has satellite offices in South Africa and Namibia in addition to its main office in London.
He said: “As we begin this important new chapter, Expert Africa is thrilled to continue building on its strong foundation of passion, expertise, and commitment to the regions we serve.
“After more than 30 years as part of the Sunvil Group, our fantastic team of destination specialists is more focused than ever on crafting exceptional travel experiences that forge deeper connections between the communities and conservation efforts at the heart of our trips to Africa, whilst creating lasting memories for our wonderful travellers.”
Sunvil Chairman Noel Josephides said: “Watching Chris grow the business from its earliest days into one of the UK’s most respected Africa specialists has been immensely rewarding.
“His dedication and vision have shaped Expert Africa, and we’re delighted to see the company’s future in such capable hands. We couldn’t be more confident or more supportive as he takes this next step.”
