African Encounter is a unique and responsible travel group. Our products appeal to travellers who want to be more than just tourists. They appeal to people who want to experience the true spirit of Africa whilst, at the same time, impacting positively on the economic and environmental issues in the communities which they visit.

As a group, we offer adventure, voluntourism, personalised and educational safaris; overlanding and group travel as well as extraordinary lodges. If our clients need that African connection we can be their facilitators as we are on the ground and we know how the land lies. Whatever we endeavour to do, we do it with a difference. That little something to make us truly unique.

At African Encounter we really do believe in this continent; we believe it is a place like no other and we invite you to join us on your own unique African adventure.

With operations from Cape Town to Zanzibar, African Encounter offers a broad range of unique, responsible and adventurous African safari products to the discerning traveller.  Our travel department can also assist you with all your travel arrangements.

Whether you want to volunteer on a community development project in a rural village, or indulge in a luxury tented safari in a world-renowned Big 5 game reserve, African Encounter will have something for you. If you’ve always wanted to conquer Africa’s highest mountains or dive in her warm tropical seas, we can help you to do it.

If you dream of taking an overland adventure across the continent, get married on elephant-back, walk with lions, sleep under the stars, sing and dance with the Masai, there’s no doubt African Encounter is your number one travel partner to host you on your once-in-a-lifetime safari to Africa.
