Why choose African Encounters?

Your safari should feel like it was made for you – because it was.

Intimate small-group tours, with a maximum of 10 participants.

Premium safari camps and lodges that are small and exclusive, with those special touches that make your journey truly unique.

Every trip supports wildlife and local communities in Africa.

Our carefully chosen partners share our commitment to sustainability and reducing environmental impact.


  • You’ll never feel like just another face in the crowd. With a maximum of 10 guests, you’re part of a small, friendly group where I know your name, your interests, and what you’re hoping to see.

  • You’ll get closer to the wildlife, not further away. Open 4×4 vehicles mean unobstructed views and better photographs, without a window between you and the moment.

  • You’ll have sightings to yourself. By staying in private conservancies rather than crowded national parks, you won’t be one of a dozen vehicles jostling for a glimpse of the same lion. Often, you’ll be the only ones there.

  • You’ll experience Africa on foot and after dark. Private conservancies allow guided walks and night drives that aren’t permitted in national parks – so you’ll see things most travellers never do.

  • You’ll travel knowing your trip gives back. Every lodge I choose channels part of your payment into wildlife conservation and local community projects, so your holiday leaves a positive mark.

  • You’ll be looked after by people who care as much as I do. My hand-picked partners have won awards for their eco-friendly camps and genuine conservation commitment.

  • You’ll benefit from 40 years of my life in Africa. I’ve lived it, worked it, and built relationships most travel companies simply don’t have. Let me take you off the tourist route and show you the Africa I know and love.
