At my stage in life (60+) I prefer travelling in comfort, so the opportunity to go glamping in Africa was very appealing. The small group approach staying in private conservancies meant we were often the only spectators. I was quite nervous about going to Africa but I felt in very safe hands the whole time. Africa is magical! If you get the chance- go for it! African Encounters will deliver a truly memorable experience!
In 2014 we went to Botswana with a gentle nudge from Karen for a one-off visit to Africa. We were instantly addicted. We have recently returned from Safari number 10. We just love it!! Karen’s trips are boutique and extremely well organized. We stay in small camps with wonderful staff who make you feel special and the knowledge of the guides never fails to amaze.
Travelling in Africa with Karen has provided us with the best memories of our lives. Africa gets under your skin – it is seductive, exhilarating, and stimulating to all the senses. Karen’s knowledge and passion for Africa is unrivaled and her safaris are packed with surprises and excitement. Her small group tours mean that you are especially well catered for and get to see amazing animal sightings without hoards of other tourists blocking the view.
