Africa Geographic: tailor-made luxury safaris in Africa since 1991

Africa Geographic is a travel and conservation company established in 1991 that designs tailor-made experiential safaris in Africa. Its team of experts, with first-hand knowledge of the destinations, creates personalised itineraries for travellers seeking authentic and meaningful experiences, from Big Five sightings to mountain gorilla trekking or the Serengeti great migration.

How the service works

The process begins when the traveller describes their dream trip. A safari expert then designs a tailor-made itinerary. After minor admin, the traveller sets off on the experience. The initial consultation is free of charge and can be arranged via a scheduled call or an enquiry form. The company also offers ready-made safari packages for those who prefer a starting point for inspiration.

Experiences and destinations

The safaris cover a wide variety of experiences: watching the great migration in the Serengeti, trekking to see mountain gorillas, family Big Five sightings and stays on white sandy beaches. The company specialises in combining multiple destinations in a single trip, including parks, reserves, cities and coastal destinations, with travel by road, light aircraft or scheduled flights depending on the itinerary.

Conservation and impact

A portion of the revenue from every safari sold is donated to carefully selected conservation projects that make a significant difference at ground level. The company presents itself as an option for those who want their trip to contribute to the conservation of African wildlife and communities.

Pricing and planning

The catalogue indicates that safaris typically cost from US$700 per person per night, depending on the accommodation comfort level, time of year and activities. The price usually includes accommodation, all meals, game drives, experienced guides, airport transfers and 24/7 support. The first payment is made when booking and the second approximately 105 days before travel. For peak-season travel (July to October) in popular destinations such as East Africa, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe, booking 12 to 18 months in advance is recommended; highly sought-after lodges may require 12 to 24 months. In shoulder season, 6 to 9 months is sufficient, and in green season 3 to 6 months is often workable.

Trip duration and preparation

The company recommends a minimum duration of 5 to 7 days to visit several parks and enjoy a greater variety of wildlife. For luggage, it advises neutral layers, sun protection, insect repellent, a headlamp and soft bags that meet the strict 15–20 kg limits on light aircraft. It also reminds travellers of the importance of consulting a health professional in advance about vaccinations such as yellow fever or malaria prophylaxis, depending on the destination.

Safety and trust

The company notes that most of the time on a safari is spent in remote areas where crime is extremely rare, and recommends following the guides' instructions and keeping a respectful distance from the wildlife. Guest payments are processed through Flywire, an international payment gateway, and the company is a member of SATSA, an association that attests to its integrity, legal compliance and financial stability.

Knowledge of the terrain

Africa Geographic highlights that its team lives and breathes Africa, with deep knowledge of each destination acquired over years of experience and strong relationships with local partners. The company rejects stereotyped trips and is committed to handcrafted itineraries that connect travellers' dreams with authentic and memorable experiences.
