When choosing a shipping service to Africa, it’s important to consider several different factors.

- South Africa, including ports in Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Namibia, Lesotho, Swaziland, Botswana.

Voyage Shipping offers a range of different shipping services.
If you’re relocating abroad, our services include the shipping of personal effects and groupage. Transporting goods by sea is still the most affordable and efficient way to get large amounts of items from one country to another.
You also don’t need to fill the entire container. Voyage shipping allows you to share containers with other shippers to further reduce the cost of sending your items overseas. Ships have the capacity to carry large volumes of goods and heavy cargo in a single trip, making it ideal for bulk shipments.
Our services also include container shipping which covers both imports and exports. Since this is a weekly service, it’s easy to get your goods delivered safely and efficiently.
Alternatively, we also offer air freight services for situations where this type of shipping is more suitable.
Air freight is significantly faster than sea freight. If you need to transport goods urgently or within a short timeframe, air freight is the better option as it usually takes days rather than weeks.
Air freight schedules also tend to be more predictable compared to sea freight, which can be affected by weather conditions, port congestion or other logistical issues. Nonetheless, despite potential weather-related delays, sea transport is generally reliable, especially with modern tracking systems and advanced navigation technologies.
We offer highly competitive costs and fees.
Before picking a shipping company, it’s helpful to compare pricing structures, including shipping rates, handling fees, customs clearance charges, and any additional fees that might apply. We always ensure transparency regarding all costs involved.
Our team guarantees the best price available and won’t be beaten on costs when it comes to any destinations. If you find a better quote elsewhere, simply let us know.
Voyage Shipping also offers a low cost collection service from your home or business. This means that the entire process will be stress-free from beginning to end.
Voyage Shipping always has regular transit times.
Depending on your needs, it’s vital to assess the estimated transit time for the shipments. We have services that go every 25-30 days, with many of our ships going twice in a month, so you can always find a date of transit that suits your requirements.
