Signature Safaris
My Signature Safaris are personally hosted small group adventures through some of my favourite corners of East Africa and Southern Africa.
I’m Karen Platzer, founder of African Encounters, and after more than 30 years of travelling this incredible continent, I’ve found some truly special places – hidden gems well off the usual tourist trail. I’d love to share them with you. Come with me and experience the magic of Africa, up close and unforgettable.
