Why travel with Encompass Africa?

Extraordinary safaris. Expert knowledge. Conservation at our core.

1. Africa is our only focus

We don’t just sell Africa—we live and breathe it. Our team has explored every corner, experienced every adventure, and built deep connections across the continent. When you travel with us, you’re guided by true Africa specialists.

2. Your safari, your way

No cookie-cutter tours here. Whether it’s a honeymoon, family safari, or bucket-list adventure, we tailor every detail to match your style, pace, and interests.

3. Effortless from start to finish

We handle everything—flights, logistics, exclusive experiences—so you can focus on the excitement. Our Safari Portal keeps you informed, and we monitor your journey every step of the way.

4. You won’t pay more with us

Booking with Encompass Africa costs the same (or less) than booking direct, thanks to our strong partnerships. You get expert advice, seamless service, and the best rates—no hidden fees.

5. Honest, unbiased advice

We work for you, not the properties. We don’t have set contracts with chain hotels —just independent recommendations that match your dream safari.

6. Handpicked partners, seamless journeys

We’ve built long-term relationships with Africa’s best guides, lodges, and conservation organisations. They share our values and are dedicated to delivering exceptional experiences.

7. Travel with purpose

Every safari supports conservation, local communities, and sustainable tourism. Just by being there, you help protect Africa’s wild places.

8. Safety, support and peace of mind

From pre-trip planning to on-the-ground assistance, we’re always here for you. You’ll travel with confidence, knowing we’ve got your back.

9. Industry leaders you can trust

We’re accredited by ATAS, ATTA, and CATO—meaning we meet the highest standards of professionalism and ethical tourism.

10. Our guests return, again and again

Over 80% of our business comes from referrals or repeat travellers. Some are on their twelfth safari with us.

Reckon we're your kind of people?

Let’s make your Africa safari happen.

“We trust the Encompass Africa Team because they are so passionate and committed to designing our family holiday to Africa as if it were their own.”
– Goodwins

“The passionate banter about Africa made the entire process such fun, but seriously there was always a solution – nothing was too difficult for them to incorporate into our rather complex, multi-destination and month long adventure.”
– Gates

“Customer service was fantastic and the itinerary thoughtfully created with genuine care. But the experience itself… simply impeccable. Been back a week and wish we could go back tomorrow!”
