About EM Travel SA
Our aim is to provide unforgettable experiences to all practitioners while tailoring each client’s tour of our country according to their personal interests, budget, time
and field of work.
South Africa has historically been acknowledged for its breathtaking scenery, rich history, cultural diversity, majestic wildlife and warm hospitality. This has led our
country to be recognised as one of the best tourist destinations internationally.
Alongside our hospitality; South Africa has also gained notoriety within the international healthcare community as being one of the best destinations for practition-
ers to gain practical experience and professional development in elements of healthcare that are not often associated with developed countries. South Africa’s
healthcare system has generally been admired for its groundbreaking developments in the treatment of trauma related patients and our experienced practitioners
are sought after worldwide.
The drive behind EM Travel SA is our desire to provide a platform where the international healthcare community can come together to share knowledge and skills
while gaining priceless experience through our healthcare system and enjoying what South Africa’s hospitality has to offer.
