Our Story

Knap Tours was founded by Julian Chauke, a passionate travel expert who turned his deep love for Africa into a profession. What began with short safaris near Cape Town and Johannesburg has grown into a diverse portfolio including Kruger safaris, Namibian desert adventures, Botswana delta experiences, Victoria Falls tours, and Eswatini cultural journeys. Today, Knap Tours stands for personalised service, honest advice, and authentic experiences. With offices in South Africa and Spain, we are uniquely positioned to serve international travellers as well as Spanish-speaking clients.
