Our crew of passionate safari experts have lived and worked in Africa for most of their lives.

We believe storytelling plays a pivotal role in education and in creating a more responsible future of travel within the conservation landscape. We seek to minimise the negative environmental and social impacts of travel while maximising its positive impacts. These articles keep our readers informed and inspired to join us in celebrating Africa and doing good. Over sixteen million people in the last decade have read our stories that reflect the complexity and reality of life at ground level here in Africa. And, we generate significant donations for selected conservation projects that deliver impact at the ground level. We choose each project carefully based on our assessment of its contribution to biodiversity and rural people living amongst wildlife.

Magical Africa

They put together a wonderful itinerary in Kenya and then to see the gorillas in Rwanda. When one of our traveler's luggage got stuck in Europe, Luis went above and beyond to reunite her with her things. He was responsive throughout the trip whenever we had a question. The animals were plentiful and entertaining, the guides and staff everywhere were warm and knowledgeable, our lodgings were comfortable and beautiful, and we would use Luis and Africa Geographic again and again.

Highly Recommend!

Wow, we can’t say enough great things about Ramona and Tracey, who were our main contacts at Africa Geographic. They were both so kind, patient, and thorough in helping us plan our perfect honeymoon, and we’re so grateful we went with them.

Every place we stayed struck the perfect balance between sustainability, supporting local communities, and ensuring an amazing experience. It’s clear they’ve put a lot of thought and care into choosing their partners across Africa, and we highly recommend using Africa Geographic if you’re planning to travel across the continent.

Thanks again! :)

Our experience was a dream

Our experience was unforgettable. We were on our honeymoon and Benjamin went the extra mile to make sure that everything was just perfect. It was a perfect balance between luxury and adventure and we felt like we really experienced the bush, mixing game dives on the vehicle and game drives on foot. We felt completely immersed in nature and we discovered so many things about the local traditions thanks to the wonderful guides and staff we had. It was just a dream and Benjamin was so present and attentive during the planning of the trip and also during the trip. We would definitely recommend Africa Geographic!!

Walking among wildlife, learning local traditions, and soaking in those wild moments together… that’s what Africa is all about. Wishing you both a lifetime of adventures as magical as this one! We hope to see you for the next one...

Perfect Birthday Safari!

Africa Geographic helped craft the perfect 60th Birthday trip for my husband. All the arrangements were made exactly as we asked and when we had a query during the trip they were immediately available with an answer. We'll definitely be using them again for future safaris!

A company that goes above and beyond!

Could not recommend Agrica Geographic highly enough!

Christian was fantastic at helping me find the perfect safari option to match our time and budget. He was incredibly patient and thorough with providing lots of fantastic options.

We decided to go for a mobile camping safari in Botswana and, to date, this has got to be one of our best trips! We saw 70 lions, 14 Hyena, 7 African wild dogs, 5 Leopards (including a cub!), 2 Cheetah and 1 African wild cat - and that's not even beginning on the numbers of zebra, deers, bucks, elephants, wildebeest and buffalo.

Christian went above and beyond at every stage, even helping us when we had issues with domestic flights in Botswana!

Thank you so much for helping us have an unbelievably amazing trip!

Been traveling with Africa Geographic for some time now and it has always been a fantastic experience. They take really good care of me and present me with awesome destinations.
This time was Selous and Ruaha National Parks in Tanzania. The camps were beautifully positioned, the management impeccable ad the food was delicious! Africa Geographic suggested the destination and planned it extremely well.

Zambian safari & Vic Falls experience

Africa Geographic through Stef (and his team) did a great job of putting together an itinerary that suited our needs. Stef definitely went the extra mile to ensure that the planning was spot on. We stayed suitable locations for our stopover, safari and Vic Falls experiences. The flights and connecting transfers went off without a hitch. Insider knowledge was invaluable. The follow through enhanced by the travel app was excellent. Love the fact that part of the proceeds goes towards nature conservation.

We hope to welcome you back for another African journey soon!

I cannot imagine a better way to customize a trip to Africa than with Africa Geographic. Dave listened to what we hoped to accomplish and patiently went back and forth with suggestions and itineraries until it was perfect.

Our trip to Tanzania and Kenya exceeded all of our expectations. The transfers all went smoothly and our guides were exceptional.

I wish I could give 10 stars.

Highlights of Rwanda

We had a magnificent African Primates tour. Thank you Africa Geographic for putting it together and postponing all the bookings to a later date when an unforeseen medical emergency occurred on our side.

As expected the gorilla trekking and Nyungwe forest was a highlight but unexpectedly the Rwandan country side, culture and society turned out to be just as fascinating. We learnt so much. Thank you to our excellent driver and guardian, Gaston, who enhanced our experience through sharing and answering all our questions.

I am so glad we did not do a 3 day In-Gorilla-Trek-Kiwu-Lake-and-Out tour. We would have missed out on appreciating the magnificent country that Rwandans have fashioned out of the tragedy of the 1994 genocide.

We have one regret: that we did not buy lots more of the excellent Rwandan coffee and tea to bring home

Good afternoon, and thank you, from South Africa, Delene. What a wonderful review! We live to honour our guests' requests, and getting you to Rwanda was our top priority – no matter the delay. We’re so glad your trip to find African primates lived up to your expectations. And what a safari you got to enjoy! Gorilla trekking, incredible, dense and otherworldly Nyungwe, and the magic of Rwanda’s people. As you said: magnificent! We completely understand the regret about the Rwandan coffee and tea. There’s always next time to stock up! We look forward to planning your next African adventure with you. We are always on a mission to bring you an experience beyond the norm. Go well and see you again soon :-)

I’ve just got home from my third travel…

I’ve just got home from my third travel experience planned with Africa Geographic which included my 5th art safari with Alison Nicholls. The first two comprised of two back-to back art safaris and this trip was a few days in Victoria Falls followed by the art safari at Bomani Tented Lodge, Hwange, Zimbabwe.
Christian booked my activities in Victoria Falls, arranged transfers to and from the airport and the activities which allowed me to focus on enjoying my time there without having to figure out how to get from A to B to C. There was a minor hiccup with my transfer to the hotel on arrival which was resolved. Christian followed up with the hotel because they forgot to collect me even though Christian had confirmed arrangements that morning. I received an apology bottle of JC Leroux sparkling wine from the hotel (turns out it is my favourite sparkling wine – thanks Christian) and was looked after extremely well for the remainder of my stay in Vic Falls.
The art safari was wonderful and I have only good things to say about the thought that went into planning this one. Africa Geographic donates a portion of the revenue from each safari to selected conservation projects and our group got to see first hand how our donated portion was put to use and how far reaching the impact will be. Visiting the Painted Dog Conservation Centre and the Community Rhino Conservation Initiative were highlights.
Alison Nicolls is very experienced in guiding these small-group art safaris and I always leave with more knowledge about animal anatomy and improved sketching and watercolour skills. I really appreciate her constructive and helpful feedback while sketching from the game drive vehicle or during the mid-day workshops back at the lodge. In between the (serious work of) sketching or painting, there’s plenty of time for laughter and great conversations.
Brendan, our guide at Bomani Tented Lodge was excellent and shared his knowledge about the area, people, animals, insects and plants with us. He was attentive to the needs of sketchers and ensured we had plenty of time to sketch (although not all animals are willing subjects). We had some incredible sightings, experiences and sketching opportunities.
I’ve already booked my next art safari for 2026 in the Okavango Delta, Botswana and am looking forward to another exciting sketching adventure with Alison and Africa Geographic.

Tracy, thank you for such a wonderful and detailed review! We’re so happy to have shared in your third adventure with us and your fifth art safari with Alison Nicholls. It’s so great to hear that Victoria Falls and Hwange offered you unforgettable experiences, from the seamless planning and care Christian provided, to the inspiration and skill-building that Alison brings to every art safari. We’re also so pleased that you could see the impact of conservation projects supported by these safaris, adding even more meaning to your time in Africa. Knowing you’ve already booked your 2026 art safari makes us just as excited as you are for the creative and wildlife encounters that await in the Okavango Delta!

Magical trip to South Africa

What a fabulous time we had in South Africa booked seamlessly through Ro and Linda at Africa Geographic company.
Our trip was to Madiwke national park where we stayed for 3 nights. The lodge was very welcoming, beautiful place to stay within the park and the food was so varied and delicious. The game drives exceeded our expectations and we have many photos of it and got close up views of the animals. A shout out to our safari guide Ashley who shared all his knowledge of the animals and he was a real polite gentleman. And of course to Heidi, the lodge manager who had a lovely birthday cake for me on my 60th birthday.
Our internal flights to get to Cape town ran very smoothly and we were then picked up punctually and stayed at the Queen Victoria hotel in Cape Town for 3 nights. What a lovely place! We visited all the "to do" sites there including Table mountain, Boulders beach and Robben Island. A big thank you to Lloyd, whom we booked for 1 day to drive us around the town, through AG.
All in all, a fabulous itinerary made to our liking. Thank you AG and I would highly recommend them..

Thank you, Teresa and Joan, for sharing this lovely review – it was such a joy for Ro and Linda to plan your South African adventure. We’re so pleased that Madikwe, with Ashley’s expert guiding and Heidi’s thoughtful birthday surprise, gave you such unforgettable memories.

It’s wonderful to hear that your Cape Town stay at the Queen Victoria Hotel, with visits to Table Mountain, Boulders Beach and Robben Island, was equally special – and that Lloyd helped make your day in the city seamless and fun.

We’re honoured to have been part of your 60th birthday celebrations and to have crafted an itinerary that suited you so perfectly. Thank you for recommending us – we’d love to welcome you back to Africa for more magical moments!

I have been travelling to Africa since…

I have been travelling to Africa since 2002. I discovered Africa Geographic and the Art Safaris with Alison Nicholls in 2017. I have been using AG to plan my trips ever since.
I have now attended 7 Art Safaris with Alison and 2 Photography Safaris with Ernest Porter as well as visiting Madagascar twice, Sterkfontein/the Cradle of Mankind and a tour of Johannesburg including Soweto. These were all organised through Christian and AG.
Christian and his team have always been extremely helpful in making suggestions when I have been uncertain about my options.
This trip I had missed a transfer and subsequent tour of Victoria Falls because of transport delays (TIA 😁). When I rang Christian he was able to change my tour for the following morning.
I always recommend AG to anyone interested in travelling to Africa.

Tanznia Adventure

Before starting to plan this trip, I had no knowledge about travel to Africa, or agencies to help me plan a trip. We had a group of 11 from various areas of the US. Christian put together an itinerary that exactly matched what we requested and made it super easy to plan and execute our trip. Their planning and attention to detail allowed us to have a spectacular experience. We knew in advance all of the details necessary to have a stress free trip. The accommodations were excellent, the food was great and it was more that I eat on most days. The staff at every lodge left no stone unturned in their efforts to make our stay remarkable. I can not use enough superlatives to describe our two main guides Jeremiah and Christopher. They are both very experienced, knowledgeable and personable. We definitely made two new friends. I will certainly book again with AG and Christian if I travel to Africa again.

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful review, Mike! Planning a first trip to Africa for a large group can feel daunting. But we are so pleased that Christian’s careful planning and attention to detail paid off, making sure your holiday ran seamlessly, and was memorable for everyone. It’s especially lovely to know that the lodges, food, and warm hospitality left such a strong impression, and that Jeremiah and Christopher’s expertise and camaraderie made them feel like true friends along the way. We’re delighted your group experienced the magic of Tanzania stress-free and in such good company: and we’d be honoured to welcome you back whenever Africa calls again.
