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.

Christian Boix of Africa Geographic/ Uganda/ Rwanda/DRC

Christian Boix of Africa Geographic was able to design a fantastic, unique and authentic trip understand the theme of primate viewing. It included so much more. Apart from the wonderful itinerary, I found the actual activities and lodging to be very smartly selected and no say failed to provide a wealth of amazing discoveries. I felt safe, loved connecting with the drivers and would never have had the opportunity to connect with the people I did, without using Africa Geographic. All the members of my team were reliable, informed and lovely to be with. I highly recommend using them to design a one in a lifetime experience.

Thank you, Emily, for your kind and thoughtful review! We’re delighted that Christian crafted such an authentic journey for you, offering the absolute best of primate viewing and so much more. And what an epic safari this was – from trekking through the forested hills of Volcanoes National Park to visiting Lake Kivu, exploring Kahuzi Biega National Park, and crossing Africa’s highest canopy walkway in Nyungwe National Park. All this while having the chance to see golden monkeys, chimpanzees and pied colobus monkeys, as well as mountain AND lowland gorillas – wow!

We are glad you enjoyed the expertly selected activities, carefully chosen accommodation, and meaningful connections with local guides and communities.

Knowing you felt safe and enriched by your experience is the ultimate reward for us. We can’t wait to help design your next unforgettable adventure!

Africageo started and ended strong

Africageo travel group started and ended strong. Our travel consultant, Nadia, was detailed, responsive and thorough in plans for our recent safari- this is our second with her. The flights from Johannesburg to Madikwe Reserve went ahead without a hitch. The accommodations in Madikwe Hills were impeccable. The rooms were clean, filled with amenities that were a touch above. This is a wonderful lodge with gifted guides and trackers.- kudus to Sam and Herman. We saw 2 cheetah kills within 3 days- and Garden of Eden like settings with a wide variety of animals. We spent 4 days in Cape Town and didn’t scratch the surface of things to do. We did happen upon 2 puff adders mating in the Kirstenbosch Gardens. We spent 4 nights in Mala-Mala Sable Camp abutting Kruger National Park. The accommodations were wonderful. We stayed in a luxurious cabin and the Lion’s Den (a large living space and two bedrooms.) Every amenity was included as well as a well-stocked bar. Our guide, Deon, became part of the family and was excited as we were for every leopard that we saw- 11 different ones and all the wee creatures that came out to see us. Nadia made sure that we had boarding passes and contact information for every step of the way.
The website for accessing travel arrangements has improved over the years however, some updates could make it easier to navigate.

We’re glad Nadia’s meticulous planning helped make your trip seamless. Thank you for your feedback on the itinerary software – we are already in the process of improving those aspects. We look forward to planning your next African adventure!

Fabulous

My husband and I celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary on a 2 week safari in SouthAfrica, Zimbabwe, and Botswana. Our travel agent, Chantal Young, created an outstanding itinerary to meet our needs.

Best of Malawi in 8 days

Best of Malawi in 8 days with African Geographic
What an incredible trip! We are experienced Southern African travellers and wanted to see something new. We chose Malawi on recommendation of African Geographic and it was certainly no disappointment. We visited 3 parks, met interesting people, learned a lot about Malawi and experienced some wonders of Nature such as a boat trip on the Shire River. Well worth it and thank you for looking after us during the whole trip! We surely will book again.

From exploring the wildlife and landscapes of Majete, Liwonde and Nkhotakota, to relaxing on the beaches of Senga, and from meeting the welcoming people of Malawi to marvelling at the wonders of the Shire River, it sounds like a truly enriching experience. It was our pleasure to look after you, and we can’t wait to help you plan your next unforgettable journey!

First timers...Namibia self drive

Fantastic three weeks in Namibia - with some trepidation, we put our trust in AG to arrange a self driving tour. On short notice, during a busy tourist season, Stefan organized a tour that reflected our wishes to see a variety of landscape, wildlife, with a mix of accommodations all on a modest budget. Despite a six hour time difference, he was very responsive via text, email and phone and kept in touch with us throughout the tour. What great customer service! expectations exceeded...we wouldn't change a thing - well, hopefully next time stay longer...

Our Custom Safari Was A Perfect Fit!

Stefan created a perfect safari experience for our family. We loved staying at the Buffalo Ridge Lodge in Madikwe knowing it was managed and staffed by the local community. The lodge staff and safari guides were outstanding.
Besides seeing a huge array of wildlife (including some that came on to the property) we enjoyed visiting the local high school and interacting with the soon to be graduates.
All in all, we spent 4 wonderful nights enjoying the food, ambiance and our lovely chalets in between the 10 jeep trips 'discovering' all the wildlife the reserve has to offer - we didn't want to leave.
Working with Stefan at AG to plan the trip was seamless and we greatly appreciated his flexibility and creative solutions throughout the process.

An incredible trip…

Christian and AG were incredibly helpful in helping me navigate planning and booking my first safari. Without an original clear direction of even what country to visit, Christian was easy to communicate with, very responsive, extremely knowledgeable and not afraid to give his opinion, which I valued. He was extremely patient with me as I navigated lots of different options and crafted a trip unique and personal to me and my partner. We had the most amazing time in Kenya visiting Mara Naboisho and Borana Conservancy. Both offered incredible but varied experiences which meant for a well rounded trip that we loved. Thank you Christian and AG for all the help.

Christian at AG was brilliant in arranging an amazing last minute Sabi Sands safari trip for two dear friends honeymoon. When I say last minute - it was within a week of travelling! Christian reacted and communicated clearly and very quickly. Not only did they have such a memorable time but the holiday also helps contribute to many of AG's campaigns, lion collaring and saving pangolins.  
AG have booked several memorable trips for me in the past and I wouldn't hesitate in travelling with them again and recommending them.

Amazing Africa

Just had an amazing trip to Africa that AG put together for us based on a list of things that we wanted to see/do. They did it all and did an amazing job that exceeded our expectations all the way.
Four countries, three safaris, flights, transfers, guides and drivers, over 3.5 weeks and everything went to plan with no issues. Phenomenal job Christian, AG and team

Kenyan Safari Adventure

Day flight to Nairobi, one night there and light aircraft the next morning to Saruni Samburu. We were met at the airstrip and our Samburu tribesman driver was our guide on all trips from the camp, he was outstanding, incredibly knowledgeable on all the animals and especially the birds of which there are so many stunning varieties. The luxury camp was situated at the top of a rocky hill in the Kalama Conservancy, an adjacent waterhole and incredible views for miles around. After 3 nights we flew down to the Mara North Conservancy, stopping at other airstrips to drop off and pick up until our destination. The first game drive to our lodge, Saruni Mara Camp, is from the airstrip, it is tucked away in a secluded and wooded area along a long bumpy road! In the conservancy, safari vehicles are allowed off the tracks so we were able to get very close to so many beautiful animals, this is not the case in the Masai Mara Reserve itself and also there are strict rules which prevent too many vehicles being at one place at a time. We had many wonderful experiences there and the best were normally on the early morning trips, well worth getting up for! After 4 nights, light aircraft back to Nairobi, lunch in a beautiful garden restaurant near the Karen Blixen museum, night flight back to London.
Thank you Christian from AG for arranging, everything went like clockwork.

Namibia : Self Drive and Fly in Safari : John and Hettie Sterban

This was our 3rd African safari arranged by Africa Geographic. The meticulous planning and care taken by our consultant, Stefan Winterboer, came up to our expectations. Stefan kept close contact with us throughout the planning stage as well as during the journey itself. He was clearly concerned about our well being on a memorable if arduous expedition to celebrate our 60th anniversary. Excellent accommodation arrangements at Wilderness Safari venues (Doro Nawas and Serra Cafema) as well as at other venues (Okahandja Country Hotel, Spitzkoppe tented camp, Giardino Boutique Hotel, Swakopmund, Khowarib Lodge, Epupa Falls Lodge, OppiKoppie, Kamanjab). Stefan's agent in Swakopmund, Pepi Kern of Nature Travel Namibia, was most friendly and helpful. In short, another excellent Africa Geographic experience, with our thanks to Stefan and Pepi for their professional and friendly support.
