Corporate Africa Travel
Managed from Johannesburg & Dubai
We handle flights, hotels, visas, and ground logistics across Africa — so your team lands ready to work.
Who We Are
Solid Matter Travel was built on a simple observation: business travel across Africa doesn’t fail because of distance — it fails because of coordination.
A missed connection in Lagos. A visa delay in Nairobi. A last-minute schedule change with no local support. These are the moments where business trips succeed or fail, and they’re the problems we set out to solve.
That’s why we built our operations around the two cities where Africa’s business travel converges: Johannesburg, the gateway to the continent, and Dubai, the global hub connecting Africa with the rest of the world. With teams based in both locations, we coordinate travel for multinational companies, executives, project teams, and organisations operating across Africa and the Middle East.
We support both sides of every business journey.
- For travel managers, that means greater visibility, policy compliance, cost control, and reliable execution.
- For travellers, it means clear communication, responsive support, and experienced professionals who are there when plans change.
Having teams in both Johannesburg and Dubai gives us a genuine operational advantage. We combine regional expertise with carefully vetted suppliers, intelligent routing, and real-time local support to keep your people moving efficiently across some of the world’s most complex travel environments.
Anyone can issue a ticket.
We make sure the journey actually works.
That’s what gives your business predictability.
That’s what gives your travellers confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Corporate Travel Across Africa & the UAE
What does Solid Matter Travel do as a corporate travel management company in Africa?
We manage end-to-end business travel for companies operating across Africa and the UAE — flights, hotels, ground transfers, visa coordination and 24/7 traveller support. From our bases in Johannesburg and Dubai we coordinate complex multi-country itineraries so your team stays productive and your travel programme stays on policy and on budget.
Do you handle Dubai to Africa and UAE to Africa business travel?
Yes. The UAE–Africa corridor is our specialty. We coordinate executive and team travel between Dubai, Abu Dhabi and major African hubs, handling routing, transit visas and on-the-ground logistics on both ends so there are no gaps when your travellers land.
Which African countries do you cover?
We support corporate travel across Sub-Saharan Africa and the wider continent — including South Africa, Kenya, Ghana, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Senegal and the Indian Ocean islands — plus the UAE. If your business needs a destination we don't yet list, we'll arrange it through our partner network.
Can you help with Africa visas for our staff?
Yes. We're not a visa authority, but we coordinate visa processing through our trusted suppliers — advising on requirements and managing applications so your team has the right documentation before they fly.
Do you offer 24/7 support if something goes wrong mid-trip?
Always. Flight cancellations and schedule changes don't wait for office hours, so neither do we. A real coordinator is reachable around the clock to rebook, reroute and keep your traveller moving — by phone or WhatsApp.
How fast do you respond to a travel request or quote?
Fast response is core to how we operate. Quote and booking requests are actioned quickly during business hours, and urgent in-trip changes are handled immediately through our 24/7 line.
Do you manage group, conference and MICE travel in Africa?
Yes. We coordinate group bookings, conference delegations and incentive travel — negotiating group rates, blocking accommodation near the venue, and managing arrivals and transfers so large teams move as one.
