Welcome to a better way of experiencing Africa.

Planning an African safari can feel overwhelming. Where do you even start? Who can you trust? What’s real, what’s AI and what’s just clever marketing?

At Encompass Africa, we get it – because Africa is all we do.

We’re not generic travel agents ticking boxes. We’re specialists who live and breathe Africa, with firsthand knowledge, deep local connections, and years of experience crafting life-changing journeys.

This isn’t about cookie-cutter packages or “cheap and cheerful” holidays.

This is about you – your dreams, your pace, your sense of adventure.

We start with a blank page, listen carefully, ask the right questions (even the ones that seem random!), and design a journey that’s as unique as you are.

 

Real experience. Real expertise. Real connection. 

Even savvy travellers find Africa daunting – and rightly so. It’s a vast, complex continent where expertise matters. From logistics and security to knowing who to trust, we navigate the complexities for you – replacing guesswork and uncertainty with confidence and the sheer delight of discovering Africa at its most extraordinary.

With us, youre in control.

Think of it like a “choose your own adventure,” guided by people who know every shortcut, hidden gem, and game-changing detail.

And the best part? Every safari we create doesn’t just change your life – it helps protect Africa’s wildlife, wilderness, and communities for generations to come.

 

Let’s plan your safari

A note from our founder.

If you’re dreaming of Africa – whether for the first time or the tenth – you’re about to embark on something truly special.

Africa is extraordinary, and your safari should be too.

At Encompass Africa, we believe luxury isn’t defined by one idea. It might be a five-star suite with sweeping savannah views, or a remote tented camp where the only gold is the sunrise.

True luxury is about being in the right place, at the right time, with the right people – experiencing Africa in a way that speaks to your soul.

It’s the thrill of tracking wildlife with expert guides, the serenity of untouched landscapes, and the magic of connecting with cultures rich in history and tradition.

It’s your version of extraordinary – and we’re here to bring it to life.

We design journeys that match your dreams, honour Africa’s wild spirit, and leave a lasting positive impact – one safari at a time.

We’re ready when you are. Let’s get you to Africa.
