'My second trip with Encounter and I’m finally seeing the world one country at a time.
Just pick a destination, pay, turn up at the airport. They do the rest. You won’t be sorry. Encounter enhances your chances to tick your wishes off your bucket list and have fun along the way.

African Safari with Cape Town Discovery
'Another amazing tour with Encounter. Getting to visit the Cape of Good Hope after reading about it at the age of 10 was fantastic. The winery tours and amazing restaurants in Cape Town were a definite highlight. The safari's were amazing, getting the see a big variety of animals in the wild was magical and walking with the lions at Victoria falls is something I will never forget and of course Victoria falls was just mind blowing. A great time with a great group of people.
Now the hard part....where to next with Encounter.'

'I can't recommend Encounter Travel highly enough. My Africa Safari and Cape Town holiday in 2018 was managed extremely well, included all the experiences I was looking for, included a tour guide who couldn't have been more professional and helpful and was with a terrific group of like-minded solo travellers that made the whole experience something to remember for life.'

Cheryl, 60 years, NSW
African Safari with Cape Town Discovery
'This was my first holiday with Encounter Travel and my first trip to Africa so it was much anticipated. The trip far exceeded my expectations. Everything about the holiday was professional and well thought out. Our guide was exceptional, displaying amazing knowledge of the continent, it’s people, fauna and flora as well as being thoughtful and fun. As a solo traveller, I can’t imagine booking with anyone else after this amazing holiday.'

'Morocco was the most amazing adventure. Full of culture and amazing sights. It's a must go tour and you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend it.'

'I booked the 18-day Colours of Morocco 40+ solo tour. It was my first overseas trip as a solo traveller and it has given me confidence to do it again. The company was prompt and efficient providing information before and during the booking period. There was sufficient information provided. The tour guide was knowledgeable and very helpful and obliging. The itinerary was good with some faster paced days and some more at leisure. I would use Encounter Travel again.'
Wendy, 64 years, NSW
Colours of Morocco
'Morocco is an amazing colourful country full of exciting things to do and see. From riding camels across the Sarah Desert, experiencing a Hammom in a Moroccan Bath House, touring through ancient cities full of colour and wonderment, enjoying one of the delicious Tagines they prepare or just walking through the many markets tasting the fruits, olives and just baked bread.'

“Morocco was breathtakingly beautiful. I learned so much about the history, the people, their tolerance and their pride in their country. Every single day just got better than the last if that is at all possible. I put this down to our wonderful tour director Karim. A true travellers gem”
