Close Encounters Travel
Tailor-Made Holidays in Africa
Africa offers an unrivalled range of holiday opportunities, from safaris and beach holidays to conservation projects and eco-tourism. Close Encounters Travel specialises in organising tailor-made safaris, holidays and weddings in Southern Africa. From Botswana to Zambia, from honeymoons to retirement holidays, from beaches to big game safaris - Close Encounters helps you to see it all.
Experience Africa
Kez Tagg, Close Encounters' owner, worked and travelled in Africa for over 20 years and has built a small team of holiday advisors who have travelled extensively in Africa and share her passion for the continent.
If you've struggled to organise an African holiday with one of the large tour operators, you'll find that Close Encounters is refreshingly different. The ultimate unpackaged holiday company, Close Encounters arranges bespoke holidays which include the destinations and activities you choose and are tailored to your individual budget.
Individual Service
At Close Encounters Travel, we pride ourselves on the individual service we offer to clients:
- Unparalleled experience in organising safaris, holidays and weddings in Southern Africa
- A dedicated travel advisor to help plan and arrange your holiday for you
- Individual itineraries that include only the destinations and activities of your choosing
- For those seeking the ultimate holiday experience, the services of a English speaking guide to act as your individual driver and accompany you throughout your holiday
Memorable Holidays
It's easy to make wild promises, but at Close Encounters we go the extra distance to ensure your dream holiday become a reality....
"Any one of the mini itineraries you organised would have been an outstanding holiday in itself - to have five just blew us away. The really fascinating thing is that you just captured us to a tee which made for a truly outstanding trip.
To anyone reading any of this on Kez's web site and thinking of booking through Close Encounters, our advice is just do it. Let Kez know what you like and don't like, give her some ideas and let her do the rest. Trust in her and believe us - you will have an outstanding holiday."
