About us l The ShapShap Travel Group
Cheap Africa Tours is a trade name that falls under the ShapShap Travel Group. The ShapShap Travel Group was founded in early 2007 by Japie van Deventer from South Africa and Lizza Duijverman from the Netherlands. It was through their shared passion for travel and adventure that they decided to combine their efforts into creating their own adventure travel company- the ShapShap Travel Group was born!
Japie van Deventer
Japie graduated from the North West University in Potchefstroom, South Africa in 1998 and has since then worked, lived and traveled all over the world, but his heart has always been in Africa. He has years of experience working as a tour leader in Africa and you will surely benefit from his wealth of knowledge when it comes to adventure travel. Japie has also successfully summited Mount Kilimanjaro– the highest mountain in Africa!
Lizza Duijverman
In 2005, Lizza graduated from the Utrecht University in the Netherlands. She has traveled extensively throughout the world (more than 90 countries and counting), but it was Africa with its wild animals, spectacular landscapes and diverse cultures that stole her heart. She knows Africa better than most, has first hand guiding experience in Africa and she climbed Kilimanjaro all the way to the top!
Who better to help you prepare for the adventure of a lifetime than someone that has actually been there and done that?
