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.

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.

Thank you, Vanessa, for your glowing review! We’re delighted to hear that your Malawi adventure exceeded expectations and brought something fresh and exciting to your Southern African travels. 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!

Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Les. We’re thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your journey and the itinerary Dave set up for you. Victoria Falls is breathtaking, and a sunset cruise on the Zambezi is a bucket-list item for most.

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.

Thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback on your first safari with us! Christian truly enjoyed crafting this safari experience with you, and planning a safari that brought together the wonders of the Mara ecosystem at Mara Naboisho Conservancy, and the critically endangered species of Borana Conservancy. What a fantastic adventure. We’re so glad that his guidance and insights created an incredible and well-rounded trip for you and your partner. Here’s to many more unforgettable safaris with AG!

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.

Thanks, Pierre - by all accounts, this was an epic safari! Your guide, Villiers, described it as one of his best safaris ever. Mana never fails to provide an excellent experience - especially for those that enjoy walking and photography. Your encounters with wild dogs, leopards, lions, and elephants (amongst others) sound amazing! Here's to your next AG adventure :-)

Sketching in Africa

The animals at Kambaku were chill and relaxed, so our viewings were fantastic. The sketching was a fabulous opportunity to observe the animals. The guide and driver were skilled. The accommodation and food were great.

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.

South Luangwa

South Luangwa has been on my bucket-list for years and when I finally got there it was worth the wait. The lodges selected for us by Africa Geographic were perfect - away from the crowds and both in beautiful settings on the river. A fantastic trip!

This was my 5th Art Safari with Africa…

This was my 5th Art Safari with Africa Geo (AG). Another new venue with incredible views, Buffalo Ridge is run by the local tribes. Beautiful accommodation and very friendly staff.

Memorable sightings included a leopard on a hillside and a lioness on a large rock with her son and daughter below. Romance was in the air as we saw 2 pair of lions, a pair of giraffe and a pair of baboons mating.

My only small (personal) negative was the number of steps I had to navigate from the car park to the lodge but I managed to overcome this with the use of walking poles.

Christian and Nadia did a great job of organising the trip. Efficient bookings and transfers every time. Can’t wait to plan my next trip! 😄

Bundox Lodge, Walking safari and Madikwe

This was the 4th time I have done a trip with Africa Geographic and Christian in particular. As always it was a pleasure dealing with him. All the logistics were handled smoothly and efficiently and went according to plan. Bundox camp in Balule near Kruger was just perfect. Not too fancy but unique and quiet. Just how I like it. Harry, our guide there was one of the best ever. 4 days walking safari was the highlight of our two week trip, despite the desperate drought. We then went on to Buffalo Ridge in Madikwe. The lodge and staff could not have been bettered, though the drought was awful. Thank you Christian for your wonderful organisation which meant I didn't have to think about all the logistics. The use of Travel Key for the itinerary was a brilliant improvement on previous trips.

Good morning Jane - thank you for your wonderful words. We love the rustic nature of your chosen safari - there is nothing like walking in Big 5 country to enhance your senses and get to know Africa at a granular level. As you say, the Southern African landscape is suffering from years of poor rainfall - but this too shall pass, and wildlife and habitat will bounce back with renewed vigour and exuberance. Here's to your next African adventure with us!

Father and Son safari holiday.

Father and Son safari holiday.
First time traveling with AG, we (father and adult son) travelled to Chobe and Vic Falls and had a fantastic and well organized experience. All pre-trip organition with AG (Nadia) was fantastic and communication was smooth and aligned with our needs/expectations. All activities at Chobe (boat safari and game drives) were very enjoyable with very professional guides. All lodges were very nice with very competent and professional teams always ready to help.
