Why Encounters Travel Stands Out

Exceptional Customer Service

When it comes to travel, we understand that exceptional customer service is key to ensuring a memorable experience. At Encounters Travel, we go above and beyond to provide personalized attention, prompt responses, and comprehensive support throughout your journey. Our dedicated team is available 24/7 to address any questions or concerns you may have. From the moment you make your booking, we strive to make your experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

Our commitment to exceptional service has been recognized through our nomination as a finalist for the prestigious Top Travel Retailer Award. This accolade highlights our dedication to going the extra mile for our customers and reflects the trust and satisfaction they have in our brand. We take pride in creating lifelong memories and exceeding expectations.

Unique and Authentic Travel Experiences

At Encounters Travel, we believe that travel should be authentic, immersive, and unforgettable. That's why we carefully curate our tours to showcase the best of each destination, offering you a truly unique experience. With over 15 years of experience, we have developed a deep understanding of the regions we operate in, allowing us to handpick the most captivating attractions, hidden gems, and cultural encounters.

One key factor that sets us apart is our local expert guides. These passionate individuals are not only knowledgeable about their countries, but they are also eager to share their insights, stories, and traditions with you. They will take you off the beaten path, introduce you to local communities, and provide you with a deeper understanding of the culture and history of each destination.

Another aspect that distinguishes us is our commitment to small group sizes. By limiting our tours to a maximum of 12-16 people, we ensure a more intimate and immersive experience. This allows you to connect with fellow travellers, create lasting friendships, and have more one-on-one interactions with your guide. It's these personal connections that truly make your travel experience unique and memorable.

So, whether you're dreaming of witnessing the majesty of the Egyptian pyramids, embarking on an African safari to spot the "Big Five," or trekking to the ancient Inca city of Machu Picchu, Encounters Travel has a tour that will fulfill your wanderlust. Join us on a journey of discovery, and let our exceptional customer service and unique travel experiences create memories that will last a lifetime.
