The camps, the light, the quiet. A short film of the places these journeys go.
Designed by specialists who know these camps inside out
We are a small Cape Town team of safari designers with three decades of combined experience across Southern and East Africa. Our consultants know the camps, the seasons and the routings in detail, and book directly with the lodges rather than through layers of agents.
Tell us what you are dreaming of, and we will tell you exactly what it takes to make it real.

Our experience with Encounters Africa was nothing short of extraordinary. Chrizell and Encounters Africa made our childhood dreams of visiting Africa come true. And not only did they make it happen, they surpassed every expectation we had.

We chose Encounters Africa because they were the most responsive and helpful when we were planning our trip, and they continued helping us just the same all the way to the end of the trip.
