From the moment we meet Jono and introduced to his company we felt his professional and caring approach was very comforting.He put together a trip we asked for and his experience and knowledge of not only Africa but accomodation,connections, security was outstanding.I totally recommend this company and Jono to anyone.

You cannot better perfection in organizing a tour that met and surpassed all out expections.
After meeting Jonathon and giving him a list of places and things we wanted to see he arranged a holiday of a lifetime. As we were 2 ladies travelling alone we required to be met at each city and arrange for transport and personal guided tours. Our 3 days in Cape Town accom and tours well organised. Our 9 day safari with Letaka Tented Camp in the Okavango Delta taking in Moremi, Khwai and Chobe Areas was magic. Our guide Matambo a walking encyclopedia. We saw all the animals including 3 different leopards at very close range. Our safari staff and organisation fantastic. Meals and comfort first class. Our accommodation in Victoria Falls, ,Johannesburg, Nairobi, excellent. Lastly our 3 day safari in Masai Mara staying at the Sentinel Mara Camp which is a permanent camp situated on the Mari River. Words cannot describe this camp, glamour and luxurious tenting, owned and run by Peter and Wendy Dwycross. Peter, Wendy, Minny our hostess, and staff very professional. The meals, including lunch and breakfast in the bush, were 5 star. Our guide Jackson, found our cheetahs, and to see the great migration and this sight will remain with us forever. We also had the privilege of visiting a Masai village and meeting the villagers who danced and sang for us. Our reasons for going to Kenya were to see both the migration and visit a village. And so came the end of a magnificent holiday organised with perfection down to the last minor detail. Thank you Jonathon and the staff at Encompass Africa.
Amazing family adventure
We travelled to South Africa in June this year with our 2 children aged 11 and 14. Encompass Africa organised the whole trip, with every detail apart from international airfares. The trip was incredible, we loved Cape Town and the tours we took there (uthando, winery tour and Cape peninsula) and then the 3 Safari lodges that we experienced( Chitwa Chitwa, Tswalu and Madikwe). Danica from encompass Africa is so enthusiastic, it was hard to choose which trip to take there were so many incredible opportunities! The accommodation in every place was excellent in every place, we were even accommodated in an alternative lodge in Madikwe after a fire destroyed the family lodging. The trip was exceptional in every way and the organisation is second to none. We can’t wait to go back.

Great advise, seamless itinerary, wonderful accomodation and guides = perfect east african adventure
Great safari holiday was had by all. Perfect contrast in accommodation starting with Wayo Manyara Green camp complete with bucket showers and dining under the stars, through to glamping at Nasikia Naona Moru in Central Serengeti and the sheer luxury of Lemala Kuria Hills.Food was amazing given where you were. We travelled as a family of 5 and had doubles and triples all the way and it worked perfectly. Guides went out of their way to ensure that we had the best experience (thanks Shatri / Baraka) and saw it all - even a couple of black rhino's. Nice easy start to holiday with 2 nights in Arusha to get over jet lag, and a relaxing finish in Zanzibar (stone town and Nungwi). Truly amazing!

Holiday of a lifetime
I spent a considerable amount of time researching our Africa holiday only to find that I felt confused by all the information on the internet. Then I spoke with Encompass Africa! From the moment I emailed and then chatted with Jono on the phone I knew we were going to be well looked after. We are a well travelled family however planning a trip to Africa was a different experience for us and Jono made it all seem so easy. He was wonderful with our kids and he gave them great information to manage their knowledge and expectations about being on safari. We had the most amazing holiday because Encompass Africa listened to us and they understood what we wanted from our holiday. When we were in Africa everything went smoothly and the contacts Encompass Africa have on the ground are so professional and most importantly so warm and friendly. Our holiday was the most wonderful experience for our family. We had the most amazing guide (we miss him!), the accommodation was fantastic and as we expected, the food amazing and plentiful, and the wildlife was incredible because Encompass Africa knew where we needed to be at the time of year we were travelling to see the wildlife. I would definitely book another holiday with Encompass Africa and recommend them highly.

Okavango Safari
We had a fabulous time at Kwara and Lebala and saw an astonishing diversity of wildlife in a very short period of a few days. The Little Kwara and Lebala camps were first rate, and the morning and afternoon activities made all that much better by the experienced guides. I would recommend this combination of safaris (Kwara and Lebala) to anyone, and we are really grateful to Encompass Africa for their recommendations in Botswana and Zimbabwe (Safari Lodge) and organising our itinerary. Overall a fantastic experience.

Exceeded completely expectations! Absolutely amazing! Thoroughly recommend!
My husband and I wanted to take our 7yr old daughter to Africa, but obviously with a 7yr old safety was our priority and so we went and saw the team at Encompass Africa, told them where we wanted to go and they tailor made our perfect dream trip of a lifetime. Our 3.5wks Encompassed Africa from Kenya to Tanzania, Zimbabwe and South Africa. It was seamlessly organised. The team at Encompass Africa are nothing short of amazing and the experts in their field. It was our second trip to Africa (first time as a family), and our expectations were completely surpassed. It was completely stress free, and utterly amazing. We simply cannot express our gratitude in words, (there aren't enough words to adequately articulate) to Jonathon and Danica and the team, as well as every single person involved on the ground in Africa. We would whole heartedly recommend you to anyone wanting to travel to Africa and experience it at it's best. Superb job guys! Thank you!! We'll definitely see you next time! Love Brad, Melissa and Zahra Singleton

Encompass Africa was absolutely wonderful in every way, as promised by a friend of mine
The Encompass Africa team members were extremely knowledgeable,efficient, helpful, and did everything to ensure our holiday was right up there with the best we've ever had.They thought of everything, taking a deal of the worry of making our own plans away, and we were very happy knowing everything was dealt with. They booked a marvellous safari park for us, Kwandwe, which exceeded all expectations we had, and we had not even heard of it! Without Encompass Africa, we would have missed it.

Faultless, Seamless and Superior
The Encompass Africa people put together a wonderful package for my wife and I...all done initially over the phone but more by email.... and everything went like clockwork. I soon realised that I could throw away my itinerary, and simply wherever I was a person would appear and we would be taken to our next destination, after having gained the fruits of our current location.
They were recommended to me by a friend who has visited Africa a number of times, and I have no hesitation in sharing that recommendation to all.
The Wilderness Safaris camps especially were superbly run and managed, and the people of Namibia and Botswana stand out as a beacon of the good of Africa and what can be achieved there by the locals.
My wife, who was a little apprehensive about going there, has come be a more passionate ambassador than I, if that is possible.
Well done, Encompass Africa, Jono, Danica, and team.
