Welcome to African Encounters, your go-to for an unforgettable African adventure! We’re a proudly independent New Zealand-based tour operator, with decades of firsthand experience living and working in Africa. Our safari knowledge goes beyond the usual—it’s the kind of insight you get from someone who’s actually lived in Africa, and returns regularly.
At African Encounters, we specialise in creating intimate small-group tours, with a maximum of 10 participants. You’ll stay in premium safari camps and lodges that are small and exclusive, offering personal service, exceptional guiding, and those special touches that make your journey truly unique.
When you travel with us, you’re not just collecting memories—you’re making a difference. Every trip supports wildlife and local communities in Africa. Our carefully chosen partners share our commitment to sustainability, reducing environmental impact, and supporting local conservation and community projects.
