Dear Traveller
At Encompass Africa, we know there’s no such thing as just a holiday to Africa.
Whether you dream of watching elephants at sunset, running a marathon beside zebras, capturing golden-hour images through your lens, reconnecting with yourself in the stillness of the bush, or making a difference in the communities you visit, one thing is certain – Africa has a way of shifting your soul.
That’s why we created our Collections.
So whether you’re joining a small group of like-minded travellers, taking your camera skills to the next level, reconnecting with your body and mind in the wilderness, chasing a finish line in the shadow of Kilimanjaro, or rolling up your sleeves to contribute to meaningful conservation or community projects – you’re not just seeing Africa. You’re experiencing it fully.
We invite you to explore each Collection and find the one that speaks to you. And if you’re not sure where to begin, just get in touch. We’re here to help you find your perfect fit – and craft a journey you’ll never forget.
With passion for Africa

In Focus: Photographic Safari Collection
Not your typical photographic safaris. Each journey invites you to slow down, see differently, and capture the quiet, powerful moments that others miss because they’re too busy chasing the wildlife.

Whether you’re just starting out with a passion for taking photos or refining your craft, this is a photographic adventure that allows you to connect, experience storytelling that lingers, and safaris at their most soulful.
It’s here you’ll get Africa in focus.
