Every experience we represent
Kusa Connect represents 7 properties across 3 brands plus 1 DMC partner in South Africa and Tanzania to the UK travel trade. The portfolio is deliberately curated — safari lodges, luxury hotels, tented camps and DMC partners selected to reach UK tour operators, travel agents and luxury travel consultants through the proper trade channel. Kusa Connect supports the operator and DMC chain — sales materials, FAM trip coordination, consultant training and trade-event representation — and does not take consumer or retail-agent bookings.
Show 6 trade questions about the Kusa Connect portfolio
Who does Kusa Connect represent in the UK travel trade?
Kusa Connect represents 7 properties across 3 brands plus 1 DMC partner in South Africa and Tanzania. The portfolio spans safari lodges, luxury tented camps, boutique hotels, beach properties and Destination Management Companies (DMCs). Each property is listed individually on this page with a link through to its full trade information page.
How is the Kusa Connect portfolio sold in the UK?
Each property and brand in the Kusa Connect portfolio reaches UK travellers via the proper trade channel. UK travel agents recommend properties to their clients, and clients book through specialist UK tour operators who programme the properties alongside curated African itineraries. Tour operators in turn work with the destination's DMC partners for in-country operations. Kusa Connect represents the properties to the operators and supports the operator and DMC chain — Kusa Connect does not take consumer or retail-agent bookings directly.
Which UK tour operators programme Kusa Connect properties?
Kusa Connect's portfolio is programmed by UK specialist Africa tour operators, luxury travel companies, Africa-focused brands and members of the AITO and ATTA networks. The current operator list for each property varies by destination, season and product category, and is held confidentially between the property, its DMC partners and the contracting operators. For introductions to the right tour operator for a specific client itinerary, contact Kusa Connect.
How does a UK trade buyer enquire about a property in this portfolio?
UK tour operator product teams, luxury travel consultants, Africa specialists and travel media can request product information, FAM trip availability and consultant training for any property in the portfolio via the Kusa Connect contact form at kusaconnect.com/contact, by email at hello@kusaconnect.com, or by direct contact with Graeme Watson — founder of Kusa Connect (ATTA member), former SATSA Board Director.
Can my African property be represented by Kusa Connect?
Kusa Connect maintains a deliberately small, protected portfolio — properties are taken on selectively to avoid direct competitive conflicts within the same destination and price band, and to keep representation focused rather than diluted. African safari lodges, luxury hotels and DMCs seeking UK representation can begin the conversation via the Kusa Connect contact form. Shortlisting follows an exploratory call covering fit, positioning and existing UK trade footprint.
What countries does the Kusa Connect portfolio cover?
The active portfolio currently spans South Africa and Tanzania. Adjacent African destinations are considered case-by-case where there is genuine UK trade demand and Kusa Connect's founder relationships translate. Coverage detail per country is published at kusaconnect.com/coverage/kenya, /coverage/tanzania and /coverage/south-africa.
