"
African time was not the same as American time…As African time passed, I surmised that the pace of Western countries was insane, that the speed of modern technology accomplished nothing, and that because Africa was going its own way at its own pace for its own reasons, it was a refuge and a resting place.”

Words from our happy travelers
5 star yellow rating icon

I’m returning to the states with a renewed sense of wellbeing and ease, thanks to this experience. It’s hard to articulate in words just how spectacular the trip was, particularly because of the attention to detail Bency and all the staff provided.

--Rose M (California)

Thank you Africovery for introducing me to the natural wonders of Africa. The safari experience is a must on any bucket list. It's unlike anything else - when you get to the lodge, everything seems to settle, tension disappears, and you come back to center. I’m grateful and forever changed by the landscapes, animals, people, and experiences I had the pleasure of witnessing on this trip.

--Jennifer R (California)

My experience in Africa changed the way I see the world, and gave me a totally new perspective. It’s one thing to read about different cultures but to actually have your feet on the soil is a whole different experience. One thing that will always stick with me is that many of the native people that I met seemed to still have a lot of spirit and positive energy. A lot of them had very strong faith and connection to their god and they felt very connected to the earth and the environment something I now realize is quite lost in the western world. I also found it refreshing that the technology didn’t run their lives like in the states.

--Gordon A (New York)

I absolutely loved my getaway with Africovery! I really got to unwind and relax in the bush, and came back feeling inspired, uplifted, and ready to take on the world. Everything was on point, from the game drives and hikes to the sunrise yoga sessions and quality cuisine. Spending time out in nature always centres me, but doing it with like-minded people who want to expand their consciousness in wholesome and healthy ways really puts the cherry on top. The lodge was an incredible backdrop for this experience that left me feeling more connected and at peace than I have felt in a long time.

--Mendy G (Joburg)

The experience being out in nature in Africa was very powerful. Seeing wild animals in their natural state had a profound effect on me. Everything from the landscape to the plants and tree’s stoodout. I felt very calm and relaxed being out there like time stood still. I was able to really let go of stresses back home in the states and be in the moment. I also loved the different birds. I feel like its just the beginning for me though. I will definitely be going back. Being around the different cultures in Africa also gave me a deeper appreciation to everything I have had in my life.

--Alex K (California)

We were absolutely blown away by this holiday. From beginning to end, every tiny detail from our dietary requirements to the afternoon childcare so my husband and I can spend quality time together, not to mention the wonderful spa treatments in the most tranquil of settings. We've been to Masai once before and frankly didn't think another safari could beat it (sorry Kenya). The gourmet dining in the wild, and Lion encounters (all to ourselves) were definitely highlights and I'm sure the kids will never forget this special African experience.

--Davids Family (London, UK)

Our Story

About Africovery and our mission

In Africa it is somewhat of a local tradition to make an annual pilgrimage to ‘the bush’, to recover a sense of self, calm our minds, and breathe in new life from this extraordinary natural oasis. The Safari experience offers much more than luxury lodges, fine dining and exhilarating wildlife encounters. The true magic of Safari is how it inspires people from across the globe to elevate their life in some way following their trip. Our name is our mission - a journey to Africa is more than just a trip, it’s a journey of recovering your sense of self, and your purest form of well-being.

An Africovery Safari is more than the enchanting memories that will inevitably be made. It is a source of natural fuel for our personal and collective transformation. This is why we design each trip deliberately and intentionally to maximize the impact this bucket-list experience will have on individuals, families, and communities.
We’d be honoured to have you journey with us...
