Karen lead our small group through Botswana and we had such a superb time. We were treated to a superb safari experience with wonderful lodge accommodation and food. Karen organised every detail so the trip was totally stress free and thoroughly unforgettable.

We did back to back Namibia with Mozambique extension and Botswana, with Karen. Each awesome in their own way but the standout impression is that it is definitely worth spending some extra and going off the beaten tourist tourist track into the private conservancies. There is more game, less people, the camp staff are genuinely happy to host us, they are also happy to share what tourism is giving back to their local communities.

For the trip of a lifetime Karen’s AFRICAN ENCOUNTERS are magic. Fabulous itineraries in wonderful places for small groups. Up close encounters with the animal and bird life are a photographers dream come true. The small group boutique camps offer true comfort, fabulous food and unique ambience. After two Safari’s to Botswana and Kenya with Karen I’m about to embark on a third to Zimbabwe and Zambia and I can’ wait - African Encounters Safari’s are addictive!

Zimbabwe and Zambia September 2019. My second safari with Karen, another very special experience. Small group, small camps, wonderful meals and nothing too much trouble. Karen's itineraries are well researched and paced with 2 to 4 nights in each camp. Time to feel at home! Such professional and knowledgeable guides in each camp - I learned so much about the countries, their people, flora and fauna and of course the animals. We had some wonderful close encounters with the animals especially the elephants. The ever amazing birdlife was either posing for or challenging the photographers. This was meant to be my "grande finale" after 3 trips to Africa but maybe not, these safaris are addictive. Thankyou Karen.

I have recently returned from the Zimbabwe and Zambia Tour with Karen. The trip was amazing and every little need was catered for, as the camps could not do enough for you with wonderful accommodation (we normally stayed 3 or 4 nights which gave you time to settle in), sundowners, food (out of this world) and the surprise meals in the bush. The game drives gave us a chance to get close to the animals, plus we were also able to go canoeing with the hippos and crocodiles and walking with the animals. The only draw back I had was the early starts at the beginning, but after a couple of days I just wanted to see as much of the animals as I could, so it was not a problem. The weather played it part so this did not interrupt our schedule in any way. I have been to Africa a number of times and say it is my last, but I think I might have to go back again. Thank You Karen a great experience. Robyn Dann
