More than travel, it’s a partnership
What I know for sure is that your safari should be as unique as you are. No two travellers are the same, and no two safaris should be either.
That’s why working with a safari specialist matters. At Encompass Africa, we don’t just book holidays. We build relationships. We take the time to understand your dreams, your hesitations, and what truly matters to you. From there, we create a journey that feels personal, seamless, and full of heart.
We’re a luxury African safari specialist with offices in Brisbane and Sydney. So you can work with us in person, over the phone or email whatever you are most comfortable with. Safari specialist based in Australia – peace of mind!
The foundation: trust, commitment, and care
Our service philosophy rests on three core values: trust, commitment, and care.
We trust the people we work with, our long-standing partners across Africa who share our dedication to safety, hospitality, and conservation. In turn, we want you to trust us.
When you travel with Encompass Africa, you’re in the care of professionals who are 100% committed to your journey. From your first conversation with us until you return home, we’re right there beside you, ensuring every moment is effortless and exceeds expectations. We will not leave you hanging (unless you choose to bungee jump or gorge swing then you’re on your own!)
Feeling safe, supported, and seen
We understand that planning a safari from Australia can feel daunting. The distance, the unknown, and the details can be overwhelming. That’s where our expertise becomes your reassurance.
We’re not just here to design your itinerary, we’re here to make sure you feel safe, heard, and cared for at every stage. Whether it’s coordinating seamless transfers, confirming your dietary preferences, or tracking your flights to ensure your arrival, our focus is always on you.
We pride ourselves on being available, responsive, and personal. You’re never just another booking; you’re a traveller whose story matters.
We have a saying, travel once you become a friend, twice and you’re part of the tribe. That’s why we don’t advertise, everything is organic and based on word of mouth, referrals and you finding us through independent searching.
Choose your own adventure
Remember those Choose Your Own Adventure books from the 1980s? Each decision led you down a different path to new discoveries, new characters, new endings.
That’s exactly how we approach safari design.
When you plan with us, you’re in control. You can ‘turn the page’ to explore Uganda’s mountain gorillas, or ‘turn another’ to marvel at Namibia’s vast night sky reserves. You can journey through Botswana’s floodplains, or watch the sunrise over the Serengeti.
We guide you through the choices, offering honest advice and professional insight, but ultimately, it’s your adventure built your way.
Why expertise matters
The African continent is vast and complex, with thousands of camps, parks, and experiences. Knowing which ones suit you takes years of hands-on experience and that’s what we bring to the table.
We’ve travelled extensively, met the guides, stayed in the lodges, and forged relationships with those on the ground. That means every recommendation we make is based on genuine knowledge, not guesswork.
Working with a specialist ensures that every element of your journey from logistics to lodges is seamless, safe, and perfectly aligned with your expectations.
Safari specialists matter? So in the end…
What I know for sure is that when you travel with people who truly care, your safari becomes something extraordinary.
Trust is the foundation, commitment is the framework, and care is the heart.
With Encompass Africa, you’re never alone in the process. From the first spark of a safari idea and the holiday concept to your travel completion and stepping off the plane onto home soil, we’re there listening, guiding, and celebrating with you.
Because a safari isn’t just a holiday. It’s your adventure, and we’re honoured to help you choose your path.
So when you’re ready, let’s start the conversation.
