About Avril Tours
Creating Unforgettable African Adventures Since 2015
Our Story
Founded in 2015 in the heart of Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, Avril Tours was born from a passion for showcasing the incredible beauty and diversity of Africa to the world. What started as a small local tour operation has grown into one of Southern Africa's most trusted travel companies.
Our founder, Marvellous Gamhi, grew up in Victoria Falls and witnessed firsthand the transformative power of tourism in creating opportunities and preserving natural heritage. With a vision to provide authentic, sustainable, and unforgettable travel experiences, Avril Tours was established to connect travelers with the soul of Africa.
Over the years, we've expanded our offerings from Victoria Falls day trips to comprehensive safari packages across Zimbabwe, Botswana, South Africa, Namibia, Zambia, Tanzania, Mozambique, and beyond. Our commitment to excellence, personalized service, and sustainable tourism practices has earned us the trust of thousands of travelers from around the globe.
Today, Avril Tours stands as a testament to what passion, dedication, and local expertise can achieve. We're proud to be a locally-owned and operated company that contributes to community development while delivering world-class travel experiences.
