Well organised and knowledgeable
We went to Zimbabwe (Hwange National Park and Victoria Falls) and Uganda (gorilla trekking) and Encompass Africa organised it all. They were quick and efficient in suggesting various itineraries and knowledgeable about the different options we could have.
The holiday was fantastic and everything worked as it was supposed to. The partners they used in those countries (operators and accommodation) were excellent - friendly and attentive.
I would definitely recommend Encompass Africa to others.
Worked like clockwork
Encompass Africa put together a bespoke tour for us. This meant the merging of different experiences, different countries and different on the ground tour operators. The experience was fantastic; everything from the standard of accommodation through to the experience of the various guides. Encompass Africa were easy to deal with, excellent communicators and planned everything down to the last detail. I would recommend this company highly.

Fantastic company!
Had a really good experience working with Encompass Africa. My motivation for going to Africa was to climb Kilimanjaro, which I had already booked myself. Doing a safari while I was there was an afterthought and my problem with planning the trip was having ideas about where I wanted to go, but not knowing how to piece it all together. I spent a morning calling a few different companies and was getting quite frustrated by people not taking the time to understand what I was after or asking for money before they would listen to me. Speaking to Steph was like a breath of fresh air. Not only was she so lovely to talk to, but she took the time to understand what I needed and how she could make it work. It only took a few e-mails back and forth to work out an itinerary and flights and I was blown away by Steph's knowledge and expertise. Communication leading up to our trip was excellent and every detail was thought out and looked after. Every part of the trip flowed seamlessly and it was the best holiday I have been on so far. I would definitely become a repeat customer if I am fortunate enough to be able to travel to Africa again and would not hesitate to recommend Encompass Africa.

We couldn't have asked for more - Tarangire to the Serengeti & beyond
Encompass Africa were amazing to deal with. From the moment I submitted an inquiry until we arrived home, the communication was superb. Stephanie was professional, patient, knowledgeable & her replies to my (many) emails were always timely. The itinerary she put together covered everything we wanted & we had high hopes that this would be the trip of a lifetime.
We were extremely well looked after at all the camps & hotels we stayed at (all of which were great) & our guide for our 9 day safari was was fantastic. The wildlife sightings were beyond compare & exceeded our expectations. We're particularly fond of big cats & they certainly didn't disappoint, with many cheetah sightings & so many lions in the Serengeti alone that we were in cat-heaven.
We followed up our safari with a Zanzibar stay (which was fabulous - the hotel was beautiful & such a relaxing setting) & then flew to Cape Town for a few days of wining & dining before we were homeward bound.
Encompass Africa delivered everything we could have hoped for & more & we'll definitely be using them again for our next trip!
Magical Tanzania
Encompass Africa (Danica) organised our second trip to Africa and similar to our first, they did not disappoint. Communication is excellent, with many date changes and different itineraries being proposed, all of which were dealt with patiently, despite our many emails and questions. Danica has so much passion and enthusiasm for Africa and that coupled with her professionalism and knowledge makes the planning almost as much fun as the trip itself. We felt safe every step of the way with our 2 teenage children and the camps we stayed in were all comfortable, with great food and amazing, warm and friendly staff who could not do enough for you. We would highly recommend Nasikia Camps. We had a guide from Massai Wanderings for our first 4 days and he had a wealth of knowledge and was patient with the thousands of questions from our teenage son. The whole tour was without hitch, camps great, wildlife sightings excellent, staff superb and we can't wait for our next trip. The tour included Dar es Salam, Arusha, Tarangire National Park (so many elephants and birds!),Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and the awesome Serengeti. It was magical to experience a hot air ballon over the Serengeti at sunrise, followed by a delicious bush breakfast with silver service and champagne. Can't wait to plan our next African adventure!

Fantastic "glamping " in Africa
We did a 10 day camping tour to Zambia visiting 5 camps in the South Luangwa NP.
The accommodation and meals were first class and the rangers who took us on tours morning and afternoon were extremely knowledgeable and great people.
Encompass Africa looked after all bookings and travel arrangements for us and did it perfectly.
We will definitely be returning to Africa some time in the future and will contact Encompass Africa to arrange tour for us

A "life changing" holiday.
Jono and the team at Encompass Africa were absolutely awesome from the first meeting right through the whole experience. The service not only by Encompass Africa, but by all the various camp staff, the support staff whilst travelling within country etc, were beyond doubt, first class. We asked for and were treated to the ultimate safari experience within kenya and Tanzania. We have now organised and confirmed our second trip to Africa through Jono and his staff but this time we will be joined by friends and experience South Africa, Zambia and Botswana. An awesome and life changing experience, partly due to the excellent service provided.

Absolutely Amazing! The best travel experience we've had all thanks to Encompass!
My wife and I went on an Africa safari for our honeymoon booked through Jonathon and Encompass Africa.. From the moment we first made contact with Jonathon to the when we set foot back on Australian land we were looked after perfectly. I could not recommend a travel agent more highly. It was just the absolute immaculate attention to detail and everything possible was looked after. We cannot wait to go again and of course we will be booking through Encompass!!
