My Signature Safaris are exclusive small-group adventures in East Africa and Southern Africa that are personally hosted by me, Karen Platzer, the founder and director of African Encounters. In more than 30 years of travel in Africa, I’ve discovered some true gems tucked away from the main tourist routes, and I’d love to share them with you. Come join me and experience the magic of Africa!
Explore Tanzania's Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, as well as the Maasai Mara, Laikipia and Samburu in remote northern Kenya. Stay in intimate luxury safari camps in private conservancies for exceptional game viewing without the crowds.
Venture off the beaten track in Tanzania's Secret South on guided walks, day and night game drives, boating and fishing in Ruaha and Nyerere parks. Tanzania’s vast southern areas are remote and wild.
