Your Africa travel specialists
Turning safari holiday dreams into reality
At Encompass Africa, we live and breathe Africa. For over 15 years, we’ve been creating safari holidays for people wanting extraordinary experiences, unrivalled service and the sort of insider knowledge that can elevate a great trip to an unforgettable adventure of a lifetime.
We work with the best suppliers and hand-picked local partners in each of the 24 countries we represent, so you can be assured of the very best service from Africa’s finest, and seamless logistics the entire way.
We only recommend accommodation that we’ve personally experienced and know you’ll love. From exclusive lodges and owner-run safari camps, to boutique hotels, adventure camping and glamping, our books are full of breathtaking, unique properties in the most spectacular locations imaginable.
We’re a small, owner-run travel company, and we love working with similar and like-minded partners: small, owner-run properties who are the very best at what they do, companies focused on making a difference, and businesses that share our dedication to conservation and providing guests with beautiful experiences.
But it’s not just about the lodgings: a safari is nothing without a brilliant guide, so we’ve teamed up with properties that we know employ the most experienced guides with incredible local knowledge and great storytelling abilities.
We also travel ourselves, all the time just so we can continue to test out product, find new gems and connect with our longest standing safari partners.
Exceptional, personalised service is what sets us apart – a huge portion of our clients come from repeat business or word of mouth, so we know we’re doing it right. We’ve not had to advertise either!
Basically, from the moment you start talking to Encompass Africa, we’ll have your back, every step of the way. We can provide you first hand insight from the latest restaurants in Cape Town to the newest and hottest safari camps and lodges and the myriad of activities on offer all over the continent!
Our dedicated team of Africa travel specialists will be there to plan your dream itinerary, give you great advice and share in the excitement of your upcoming trip. Plus you’ll have access to our online safari concierge, a unique resource designed to make your trip preparations effortless.

Whether you’re travelling with your loved one, extended family, a group of friends, on your honeymoon or as a solo traveller, we’ve got you covered.
While you’re away, you’ll also have access to our “Guests in Africa” service, so you can get 24/7 help with any issue or question, great or small.
