About Sarah Hennessy

My name is Sarah and I am the CEO of African Star Tours, a small tour operator based in the UK but with clients from across the globe.

I have a huge passion for travel and have spent the last 15 years ensuring my passport is well used every year (Covid excluded!)

I have visited every continent several times but Africa has a particular place in my heart.

I love finding out about new places, tours and experiences across the African continent that I can then confidently discuss with my potential clients. I will always offer an open and honest opinion, to ensure that any trip booked is the right one for you.

Countries Visited

In Africa.......

South Africa, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Zambia, Namibia, Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, Ghana, Gambia, Senegal, Lesotho, eSwatini, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Mauritius, Seychelles, Cape Verde.

Favourite Destinations

Zimbabwe and South Africa are particular favourites due to friendly locals, excellent wildlife experiences, spectacular scenery - and great value lodges. I typically visit both these countries at least once a year.

However, it is so hard to choose! I also love a self-drive trip around Namibia or relaxing on the banks of beautiful Lake Malawi. Also, trekking with the Gorillas in Uganda is one of my favourite ever wildlife encounters!
