Rural Rwanda at the last moment - amazing!
This travel planner and guide experience was exceptional. They organized a compressed, spontaneous personal trip that I tagged onto a business trip at the last moment. They were highly accommodating and the guide/driver was fantastic with his attention to personal details in a very personable fashion. The trip was a wonderful experience and I will use them again in the future for sure.

Hi Peter. Thank you so much for your kind words and generous review! We’re delighted that we could pull together a spontaneous add-on to your business trip and turn it into such a memorable experience. Rwanda’s Volcanoes and Nyungwe National Parks are extraordinary destinations, and we’re thrilled you enjoyed the wildlife, scenery, and warm hospitality along the way.
Your appreciation of the guide’s attentiveness and the personalised care you received means the world to us. It’s what we strive for on every journey. We’d love nothing more than to welcome you back for another adventure in Africa, whenever you're ready!
An Unforgettable Safari Experience with Leonie Cook
As a solo female traveler from Canada who typically enjoys handling my own planning and bookings, I was initially nervous about letting someone else take the reins for such a significant trip. Adding to my concerns was the fact that I had limited knowledge of the countries I planned to visit (Uganda & Kenya) and the distance I’d be traveling. I had countless questions and different proposals about my trip, and Leonie was always there to answer everything and set my mind at ease.
In today’s world with so many online scams, trusting a company I wasn’t familiar with was daunting. However, it gave me immense comfort knowing that Leonie lived in Kenya and had firsthand experience with many of the destinations she suggested for me.
When it came to pricing, I quickly understood that a lot of behind-the-scenes work and effort goes into creating a seamless safari experience. The team made it all come together effortlessly. I am beyond grateful to Leonie, AG, and all of the incredible people I encountered—guides, rangers, managers, staff, drivers, pilots, and the wonderful locals.
Throughout my trip, I always felt safe, and I could reach out to any team member if I needed assistance. Pick-ups were always punctual, and I was greeted with smiles at every turn. The entire staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and special.
Lastly, being able to witness the stunning creatures in their natural habitat, so close and personal, was a life-changing experience. It’s something I’ll never forget. I truly had the safari of a lifetime!

Dear Wendy,
What an incredible review. Thank you for taking the time to share your heartfelt reflections. We’re truly honoured to have been part of such a meaningful journey.
As a solo traveller venturing into new territory, it takes courage to place your trust in a travel partner, and we’re thrilled that Leonie and the rest of our team of experts could offer you the peace of mind and personalised care you deserve. From your very first questions to the final fond farewell, your experience is exactly what we strive for: seamless support, authentic local insight, and a genuine sense of connection and safety throughout.
From the misty volcanoes of Rwanda and the golden monkeys of the Virungas, to the humbling moments shared with gorillas and chimps in their forest homes - it’s clear that you embraced every moment with curiosity and openness. And through that, you allowed the continent to share her magic with you.
We’re especially glad that our local teams - from guides to drivers, lodge staff to pilots -made you feel not just cared for, but truly welcomed. That is the heartbeat of the African experience.
Thank you again, Wendy, for choosing us and for sharing your extraordinary adventure. We wish you many more wild and wonder-filled travels ahead. We hope to welcome you back to Africa someday soon!
Our tour in Masai Mara
Our tour cordinator, Christian prepared a very flexible one week tour in safari to fit our budget. Imagine the difficulty of traveling with four children now that the Japanese yen is so cheap (2/3 of what it was a couple of years ago!). He found such a cozy place (Aruba Camp) for us. Our safari driver and all the staffs at the camp were so nice and we will never forget their hospitality. We love you guys!!!

We appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you and your family on another safari very soon! 😊🌿🐘
Amboseli Bird Hide Session
Christian from Africa Geographic Travel organised a 5 day bird hide session near Amboseli National Park specifically to photograph a number of waxbill species. The hide was basic (I was told this in advance) but the number and species that visited the hide was remarkable and all target species-and more - photographed. Nearby Sentrim Resort was fantastic and an excellent choice.

We appreciate your kind words and look forward to helping you plan your next photography and birding adventure.

Photographic Safari Kenya
Thanks to Christian who made an outstanding job.
As a photographer I have been interested in wide and hook-lipped (black) rhinos in different conservancies and in meeting some of the last remaining supertuskers in Amboseli etc. My dreams became true.
And at Ol Pejeta Tented Camp in Mara North Conservancy, a special camp for photographers, I had amazing adventures.

We appreciate your trust in us and look forward to planning more extraordinary wildlife encounters for you in the future!
Southern highlands of Ethiopia
I had an unusual brief for Christian at Africa Geographic when he phoned me. I wanted to visit two remote locations where my aunt had worked as a nurse 50 years ago. He immediately suggested a means to get there, and I supplied the local contacts.
I achieved my goals, to experience the setting of her work, and to glean fresh insights through interviewing people who knew her.
The company was very efficient and reliable. My husband and I felt safe and cared for in some quite difficult situations, such as roads undergoing roadworks, an almost impassable four-wheel drive track up a mountain, and stomach upsets. Our driver was excellent, and nothing phased him. His insights into the wildlife we passed along the way added to the enjoyment of the journey. He was responsive to our every request.
If you want a personalised safari, I highly recommend them.

Africa Geographic, Christian Boix & South Africa
Christian did an outstanding job organizing an unforgettable trip for my family and me to South Africa. We began planning our journey only two months prior to our December travel dates, and Christian created an itinerary that far exceeded our expectations.
We enjoyed two incredible safaris over the course of eight nights, which struck the perfect balance between family-friendly (ideal for our kids, ages 10 and 11) and fun experiences for adults. Following the safaris, we spent four nights in Cape Town, soaking in the city’s beauty and culture, before embarking on a breathtaking tour of the Garden Route.
Thanks to Christian’s expertise, we had an extraordinary experience. I recommend his services for anyone looking to explore South Africa in a truly memorable way.

Thanks for choosing AG – we hope to host you soon once more!
Norther Kruger and Zanzibar organized by Christian Boix
We had another amazing experience with Africa Geographic. Christian Boix was extremely helpful planning our trip to northern Kruger in South Africa. He also helped us to plan a second part of our trip to Mozambique, but when political difficulties in the country seemed likely to interfere with our plans, he and the whole team were extremely proactive in encouraging us to change plans and were able to construct a wonderful itinerary for us at the very last minute to Zanzibar. We were very happy to have had these plans in place. In Kruger we had an amazing, knowledgeable, skilled guide who was always happy to discuss any topic in detail and we enjoyed fantastic accommodations with boardwalk birdwatching and poolside wildlife viewing right along the river, and we were extremely happy. In Zanzibar, Christian helped us to organize some very down to earth cultural excursions which will be strong family memories forever! We loved biking through the villages, learning how to climb coconut palm trees, meeting and chatting with local kids, and we adored our Swahili cooking lesson!

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.

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.

What an incredible trip! We are experienced Southern African travellers and wanted to see something new.

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.

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.
