Making a difference, one safari at a time

At Encompass Africa, we believe that travel should do more than inspire – it should be impactful, it should give back. That’s why we created Hearten Africa, our commitment to responsible travel that supports conservation, communities, and cultural heritage across the continent.

Every safari sparks change

Each journey we design weaves a thread of positive change, preserving Africa’s wild beauty and cultural richness for generations. So when you choose to travel with us, you’re helping protect Africa’s wild places, wildlife and its people. From endangered species and remote ecosystems to traditional cultures and local livelihoods, your journey leaves a positive, lasting impact.

A shared commitment: a bond forged in purpose

We partner and work with camps and lodges that prioritise sustainability and community empowerment, and we partner with grassroots organisations doing vital work on the ground. Together, we’re crafting and creating safaris that are not only extraordinary – but deeply meaningful.

Travel that moves you and Africa

You’ll feel the impact of your journey – learning from a local guide’s wisdom, witnessing conservation in action, or treading lightly on sacred lands. Your presence really does matter. Through Hearten Africa, your safari becomes part of something bigger – a journey that opens hearts and helps shape a brighter future for Africa. Choose Encompass Africa to travel with purpose and leave a legacy that resonates.

Redefining what it means to travel

We’re not designing simple holidays, we’re crafting impactful journeys for our guests that leave the world better than they found it.

And  Hearten Africa is for everyone: whether you’re inspired to take action to amplify your impact or simply enjoy your safari, just know you’ve chosen a company that’s genuinely committed to creating significant impact.

Let’s make your Africa safari journey truly count.
