What is Hearten Africa?

At Encompass Africa, our mission has always been to make a difference, one safari at a time.

That mission became Hearten Africa, in which we help our guests discover the beauty of Africa while contributing to its future. Working closely with the communities, conservationists, and custodians of Africa’s wilderness, we ensure that every safari has a meaningful impact.

How does it work?

When you travel with us, you’re already making a difference. Our carefully chosen partners – camps, lodges, and guides – are not only world-class when it comes to hospitality, but also champions of sustainability, conservation, and community initiatives. Simply by embarking on a safari, you contribute to these causes. It means that every Encompass Africa holiday supports the land, wildlife, and people of this incredible continent.

But if you wish to dive deeper, we can tailor your safari so that it will not only touch your soul, but also let you leave a real legacy.

With Hearten Africa you can:

• Participate in conservation projects to protect Africa’s incredible wildlife and wilderness.

• Engage with communities by sharing skills, contributing to meaningful projects, or simply connecting with local people to learn about their lives.

• Make lasting contributions by donating time, hands-on help, funds or resources, to causes that resonate with you.

Let’s make a difference together

We want to redefine what it means to travel, by creating journeys for our clients that leave the world better than they found it.

 As the author and historian, Edward Everett Hale said:

“Look up and not down;

look out and not in;

look forward and not back,

and lend a hand.”

 Hearten Africa is for everyone: whether you’re inspired to take action or simply want to enjoy your safari knowing you’ve chosen an operator committed to giving back.

Let’s make every journey count.
