Chitake Springs September 2023 - with Africa Geographic…

Chitake Springs with Africa Geographic - just back from a truly memorable few days. Our Bush Camp, perfectly situated (and really well managed), pitched under the largest Sausage tree imaginable, bordered the sandy ‘highway” river bed that led up to the Chitake Spring. Elephants, leopards, hyaena, antelope, baboons all used this route, and sometimes a few of the 21 local lions took advantage of this to lie on the cliff edge along that route, sizing up their potential - and hopefully not human - prey! Every day was eventful, and walking through the Bush with the expert guidance of Carl, our Expedition Manager, was fascinating- and always safely managed. Fortunate to have both the photographic -and Bushveld - expertise of Villiers as well. Fascinating and fun, every day!

Africa Geographic Mashatu trip

Being seasoned travellers, this was our first trip with Africa Geographic. Everything was well organised with lots of information beforehand. There were no problems with transfers and handling of luggage etc. The lodges were stunning with great food and service. 2 vehicles were supplied for our photographic requirements, which was great. The photographic opportunities were wonderful with a relaxed atmosphere and stimulating conversation. The morning session in the hide were exceptional. One of the highlights of the week was when the CEO of Africa Geographic organised to watch the rugby on his laptop. All in all it was a fantastic experience and I will gladly recommend this company to anybody that wishes to travel in Africa.

Bucket list holiday

Booking a safari holiday to the Maasai Mara through Africa Geographic was an absolute game-changer for my travel experience. From start to finish, their service exceeded all expectations, and I can't praise them enough for helping me create memories that will last a lifetime.
What truly sets Africa Geographic apart is their dedication to creating personalized itineraries. They took the time to understand my preferences and interests, ensuring that every aspect of the safari catered to my desires. Whether you're a wildlife enthusiast, a photography enthusiast, or a cultural explorer, they can design an itinerary that perfectly suits your needs. a massive thank you to Christian Boix for making our bucket list holiday come true!

Sentinal Mara Safari Camp - Kenya

We spent 6 nights in this tented, unfenced camp on the banks overlooking the Mara River. The game was plentiful even in the very close vicinity of riverine forest, marsh and rolling plains. It was an authentic Out of Africa experience with real Askari, Masai warriors, escorting you after dusk. The Masai are amazing people, welcoming and jovial, and brilliant trackers and guides on drives. They danced and sang around the fire after dark for us, with the hippos bellowing. We loved the beautiful 3 course meals in the open dining tent and often under the stars, surrounded by lanterns on the forest paths. The owner and all the staff were gracious and relaxing and went out of their way to make our experience very special, a time to remember forever.

Planning was good

Planning was good. Itinerary was meticulously crafted.
We went to Manyeleti in South
Africa for a Photography safari. The overall experience was good. But, I feel that at least in the last few weeks, Africa Geographic company must allow for direct communication with the lodge as it will help sort out some issues one to one directly. In our case there was a mis communication regarding the amount of beans needed to fill our Bean bags for support of our lenses and a misinterpretation of dietary requirements. Though it did not had much effect on the tour and was sorted out with the camp manager, but this is one thing which could have been prevented had we been given chance to directly communicate with the camp manager.
But overall a great experience and certainly worth planning safari with Africa Geographic.

South Africa-- CapeTown and Kruger area safari

Christian organized a spectacular trip for myself, my husband, and our two teenage girls to South Africa on very short notice at a busy time of year. We already had made a commitment to a volunteer organization and so we wanted to build in a trip to Cape Town and some safari days around specific dates. He did an amazing job of figuring out the best options for us within those specific parameters, that I believe were even fairly cost conscious. He was patient when we needed to make adjustments. In addition, he was extremely helpful when our flight from the US was cancelled and we found we would be arriving a day and a half later than expected. He rearranged our days and rebooked our internal flights and managed to fit in almost all of the activities we had originally planned while minimizing our stress.
He found safari lodges for us that were just the perfect vibe for our group with an extremely knowledgeable guide who found us some unbelievable wildlife moments- while being both respectful of the animals and also thoughtful about the best photographic angles and predicting where the animals would want to move and how best to situate our vehicle to observe without interfering. In one safari lodge, we spent an afternoon by ourselves in a treehouse where we were extremely lucky to observe more than 30 elephants coming to drink at the waterhole just below our perch. We managed to see leopards and wild dogs and even hyenas fighting over a dead buffalo after dark and a lion kill as well. An absolutely unforgettable experience. We will be back!

Pungwe/Gonarezhou

My wife, myself and our 18 year daughter recently traveled to the greater Kruger area and to Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe on a trip we booked through Africa Geographic. We had a wonderful experience. In South Africa we stayed for six nights at a small unfenced bush camp, Pungwe. The wildlife sightings particularly lions, were excellent. In Zimbabwe we camped for five nights in Gonarezhou and spent two nights at the beautiful Chilo Lodge on the outskirts of the park. While in Gonarezhou we were fortunate enough to have multiple wild dog sightings, including a number of intimate encounters where we were able to observe pack behavior at close range for extended periods of time. Plains game and elephant sightings were plentiful as well.
Africa Geographic was able to tailor our trip to what we wanted, a small unpretentious bush camp in the greater Kruger, where wildlife sightings are perhaps easier to come by, coupled with the wilderness experience of the far more remote Gonarezhou. Africa Geographic succeeded on all accounts. Our week in Gonarezhou was essentially our own private expedition into the park. Due to the logistics of the trip, its success was dependent on the smooth functioning of multiple transfers, both vehicle and plane. The trip was very well organized and all transfers took place without a hitch. We look forward to planning another trip with Africa Geographic as soon as time and financial conditions allow.

Even better than I could imagine

There are a lot of choices to make in planning a safari. Africa Geographic put together a trip for me that gave me the experience I was looking for in a way that I would not have been able to do on my own. I’ve been dreaming about this trip for years, and the reality was even better than I could imagine. The agent we worked with was absolutely wonderful! She understood what I was looking for, was very responsive with excellent information and answers to our many questions, and all her suggestions for the trip hit the mark perfectly. Africa Geographic tailored the trip specifically to what I was looking for—every component of the trip was thoughtful and demonstrated their knowledge of the services and experiences available. They were very helpful in arranging all the details; I’ve never felt more taken care of than on this trip. Don’t mess around trying to figure this out on your own—work with Africa Geographic to create your perfect trip.

An exceptional wilderness experience

From the moment I was met at Lusaka till I arrived back from my stay at Kafue National Park, everything was perfectly organized.
I was flown out to Chungwa airstrip by a very nice and competent bush pilot, Tanya.
The manager of Fig Tree Camp, Ngoli met us at the airstrip and transported us to camp. A small bush camp with only 4 tents on stilts, which inspires "Out of Africa" moments, captured me with it's charm and dedicated staff. Boni, the chef served remarkable food.
Aaron, my guide also fulfilled my (quite high) expectations sometimes he even surpassed them.
After 4 days at Fig Tree I moved to the main Mukambi Lodge, I appreciated very much that Aaron remained my guide. The welcome by the owners and staff was special, and I loved my tent with a balcony/terrace towards the river. The wildlife sightings continued, the highlight I might say, were hunting wild dogs. During my six days I counted 19 individual lions, I did not count the hundreds of pukus and many other antelope species, elephants, numerous crocs, and hippos and of course the obligatory leopard. Night drives revealed genet, civet, porcupine and bushbaby. The birding was very rewarding too with a few new species on my list.
A big thank you to all the people who made this wonderful safari possible.

Was really good dealing with Africa Geographic, especially when having the perfect attention of Risette who was able to perfectly read and feel our profile and demands as clients. Although challenging, keep it at least as it was, always professionally tolerant and pacient with clients profiles and demands. Everything so well organized.

Experienced African travel agents

African Geographic takes time to get to know its clients and uses its wide experience of Africa to suit the safari arrangements to their preferences - whether accommodation, transport, or the all-important guides.
We traveled to Rwanda - a first time visit - and then to the familiar ground of Kenya. We were well served in both countries, and had a memorable trip with outstanding mammal and bird sightings. Looking forward to more of the same, probably in 2025.

Another Awesome Experience from Christian and AG

This is the second time we used AG service with Christian. We now reside in South Africa and Christian organized our trip to Madikwe. We were a bit uncertain about the arrangements but trusted Christian’s experience and knowledge. We were not disappointed, he knew exactly what we were looking for and the experience was amazing! Christian was sensitive to our budget for this trip and it was exactly what we wanted and exceeded our expectations.

The first time we used Christian and AG services was in August 2021 and we went to Rwanda to go Gorilla trekking and it was the experience of a lifetime. Christian organized every detail for 11 days and it was everything we hoped it would be and more.

We had such a wonderful experience in Rwanda that we recommended Christian to our best friend and he organized a trip for her and a friend recently to Kenya and they were beyond ecstatic with the trip he organized for them with every detail thought out and executed perfectly.

Needless to say we will use Christian and AG services again and will continue to refer him to friends and family.

Many thanks,

Lenny and Donatella

Africa Geographic and Black Rhino - a dream team

We have been using Africa Geographic a few times in the past and they have never let us down. Nadia is an absolute star and provides expert advice on any question one might have. Our recent trip to South Africa was a small group taking us to Pilanesberg, Jo'burg and Capetown. Everything worked like clockwork, from airport transfers to accommodation to providing information.
I would always trust AG and Nadia to deliver the best experience possible and I look forward to dealing with AG and Nadia again for our next trip:

Some feedback from individual travelers of this group:
- Unequalled experience enhanced by brilliant company and seamless organisation, thank you so much.

- Incredibly amazing experience, strengthened by the outstanding views, service and people.

- Organised smoothly and efficiently which meant we could just relax and enjoy such an amazing experience.

- Beautiful scenery in an amazing country coupled with a wealth of knowledge shared by experienced rangers made for a fabulous trip like no other!

Fantastic trip to South Africa!

Kim at Africa Geographic organized an awesome trip for us - safari, Cape Town and wine country. Too many highlights to fit them all in a review, but suffice to say that our family of 4 enjoyed every minute! Everything went very smoothly and without a hitch. Thanks as well for connecting us to Escape+Explore in Cape Town - Mike was a great guide and took us on lots of adventures. The only thing left now is to decide when we will be back!

Gorillas in Uganda, Masai Mara Safari, & Kenyan Beaches

We organized a 12 day trip through Uganda and Kenya with Africa Geographic for our honeymoon and wouldn't hesitate to use Africa Geographic again for future trips! Nadia and the team at Africa Geographic are excellent. They do a wonderful job of asking about what types of experiences you're looking for, regions of the continent you have been to or want to go to, and what your budget is. From there, they craft some sample itineraries for you to choose from, and then you work together to dial in the final plan. They have an excellent network of lodges and tour operators that they work with. Additionally, when plans change at the last minute (such as a change in international flight plans or a delay during the trip outside of our control), the team is there to support you and assist in finding alternative options. Every lodge we stayed at with AG provided top notch service and was everything we expected and more. When going between lodges, transport was carefully arranged for us by AG, and we never had to worry that we would not be taken care of. Although I have extensive international travel experience, I am confident that I would not have been able to organize this trip without the expert help from Africa Geographic and stay within our set budget. I have already recommended Africa Geographic to several friends who have seen our photos on social media and received our Christmas card featuring images from our trip and have asked about how to organize a safari. If you're considering Africa Geographic for your first or tenth trip to Africa, don't hesitate and book with them today! Thank you Nadia & the whole AG team for everything!

Victoria Falls, Chobe, Okovango Delta and Nxai Pan

We booked 5 accommodations and 4 Okovango Delta domestic flights. The experiences and animal observations were very special and unique, only in the Chobe NP we had missed the herds of elephants because it had rained heavily just before. The lodges and camps were all of excellent quality and the staff very well trained. However, next time we would prefer 3x3 nights instead of 5x2 nights, at 76 years of age it is of course also due to age. We were a group of 4 and next time we will book our own safari vehicle just for ourselves if possible. All in all we had a wonderful trip and will definitely book with Africa Geographic again.

Botswana mobile tented safari

My trip to Africa, organized by Africa Geographic, was superb! I loved every minute of it. It was a mobile tented safari in Botswana. The staff were all excellent and I had the best guide imaginable. Isaac was able to find many animals and we actually spent quite a lot of time observing them, which I deeply appreciated. The tents were quite comfortable, with a nice bed and even the shower and toilet were good. I never thought that camping could be so nice! I was given a beautiful, detailed itinerary, which was quite helpful. And Christian, who organized the trip, was always supportive and generous with his time and knowledge. And the cost was much less than that of some other companies I had looked at. I highly recommend Africa Geographic for a beautiful travel experience.
