That unmistakable cry carried across the water.
The resonant, echoing call of the African Fish Eagle, a sound that seems to stir something deep within us. A call that beckons us back to Africa, the home of our ancestors, and invites us to experience a continent that has the power to change us forever.

Every journey is thoughtfully and personally tailored around your interests, needs and budget, ensuring your time in Africa is as unique as you are.

Let’s find yours!

Whether you’re celebrating your honeymoon, escaping the everyday, or discovering somewhere extraordinary together, this wild and beautiful land invites you to slow down, reconnect and fall in love with the journey. Because some places take your breath away… some steal your heart.
Imagine rolling vineyards framed by dramatic mountains, world-class wines waiting to be discovered, and long, lazy lunches that somehow turn into unforgettable afternoons. South Africa’s Winelands are where romance meets indulgence in charming country estates, boutique wine farms and candlelit dinners beneath the stars. Whether you’re sharing a private wine tasting, exploring quaint historic towns, or simply raising a glass to being together, this is your invitation to slow down, savour the flavours and let the magic unfold. Because some journeys are measured in miles… others in moments worth lingering over.

Michelle at Africa Calls was wonderful! She helped us to plan and create the most incredible trip to Africa. I was a little overwhelmed trying to map out and plan a holiday over such a vast continent. Michelle’s knowledge and experience helped us to optimise our time and get the most out of our trip. She was patient and understanding of our questions, very responsive and helpful and she has fantastic local knowledge, contacts and recommendations. We saw more than we could have hoped and finishing with the gorillas was the icing on the cake! Whilst our trip has come to an end, our memories of the people, the landscapes and the wildlife will last a lifetime time. Thank you Michelle. I highly recommend Michelle to help you with planning your Africa adventures! HayleyPosted on Google![]()

Michelle organised all aspects of our safari in Tanzania and our gorilla trekking experience in Uganda with incredible professionalism and attention to detail. Michelle went above and beyond to tailor our trip to our preferences and she was such a pleasure to work with. At the start of organising our trip, we felt overwhelmed by the number of providers and where to begin. We are so glad we chose Michelle. She has excellent connections with the local providers and her expertise was gold. We highly recommend Michelle’s services and would love to organise another trip to Africa through her in the future.

After meeting and discussing with Michelle about our once in a lifetime trip to Africa, we knew four +60 year old NZ's were in for a wonderful adventure! Four weeks from Perth to Cape Town, with a trip to the Winelands with Malcolm and a game of rugby, to Zimbabwe and the Victoria Falls, onto Botswana visiting the Chobe NP and Okavango Delta, back to Johannesburg for another game of rugby and a tour of Soweto, onto the Kruger NP, then a beach in Mozambique to wind up a perfectly planned escape. Michelle had our transfers running smoothly, the lodges were beyond our expectations with breathtaking vistas, wildlife on our doorstep, warm hospitality and delicious meals. The highlight was the exciting, educational and just truly wonderful safaris, being lead by knowledgeable guides with wonderful senses of humour, that caught a few gullible kiwis out at times! Michelle, thank you for tending to our every whim, from our delay in travelling to our numerous questions while on tour, which were answered promptly. We cannot recommend Michelle highly enough for her care and attention to detail in giving us our once in a lifetime holiday. The sights and colours of Africa will be with us always. Thank you Michelle xxPosted on Google![]()

Dear Michelle We just wanted to touch base and say thank you so much for such a well-organised travel itinerary. We had such a great time in South Africa/Botswana/Mozambique and it all ran so smoothly. All the drivers we had were very efficient and many of them had really good senses of humour which we appreciated ☺ Ilios – what a great company they are, we never waited on anyone, they were always there for us. The safaris were definitely the biggest highlight, what great places you had us stay at. I think you said this was the first time you used Ngoma Safari Lodge – I’d like to say they were excellent from the singing to welcome us to all the extras they provided. All the accommodation, guides, drivers, waiters – all wonderful everywhere. Malcolm was a highlight in Cape Town, his knowledge was extensive and we enjoyed our journeys with him. Our trip to Mozambique was also a highlight, enjoyed the slower pace although we did plenty of activities – snorkelling, visiting the Inhaca island, even boating around to another bar so we could watch the rugby test, nothing was too much trouble and it was all very enjoyable. If ever we are to do more in Africa (fingers crossed), we will contact you to organise more safaris ☺Posted on Google![]()

Our Unforgettable Family Adventure in Kenya Our family trip to Kenya was one of the most extraordinary holidays we have ever experienced. It was one of those rare journeys that not only met but exceeded every expectation, creating memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives. For years we had watched wildlife documentaries featuring lions, elephants, giraffes, cheetahs, zebras and countless other incredible animals in their natural habitat. To finally witness these magnificent creatures in the wild, often just metres away, was simply breathtaking. No television programme or photograph can truly capture the emotion of watching a pride of lions resting beneath an acacia tree, a herd of elephants crossing the plains, or a graceful giraffe wandering across the vast African savannah. Every game drive offered a new adventure. We never knew what awaited us around the next corner, making each day exciting and filled with anticipation. Our guides were exceptional, sharing their knowledge and passion for Kenya's wildlife, landscapes and ecosystems. Their expertise helped us appreciate not only the famous animals but also the fascinating birds, plants and the delicate balance of this remarkable environment. A very special thank you must go to Michelle, who coordinated every aspect of our trip. From our very first enquiry through to our return home, everything was organised seamlessly. Her attention to detail, excellent communication and genuine passion for creating unforgettable experiences gave us complete confidence throughout the planning process. Every transfer, accommodation and safari was perfectly coordinated, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy every moment. Michelle's professionalism and personal care made all the difference, and we are incredibly grateful for everything she did to make this journey so memorable. What made the experience even more special was sharing it together as a family. The excitement of spotting our first leopard, the laughter as we bounced along the safari tracks, and the quiet moments spent watching spectacular African sunsets are memories we will treasure forever. Beyond the wildlife, it was the Kenyan people who left a lasting impression on us. Everywhere we travelled we were welcomed with genuine warmth, kindness and pride. Their hospitality added another unforgettable dimension to an already incredible journey. Kenya offers far more than just a safari. It is a destination that combines adventure, education, culture and natural beauty in a way that few places in the world can. Watching animals roam freely in their natural environment gives you a profound appreciation for the importance of conservation and the beauty of the natural world. If you're looking for a family holiday that is exciting, inspiring and unlike anything you've experienced before, I cannot recommend Kenya highly enough. It truly is one of the world's greatest wildlife destinations. For our family, this was far more than a holiday—it was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that brought us closer together, deepened our appreciation for nature, and left us with memories that will last forever. Our heartfelt thanks once again to Michelle for making it all possible—we would recommend her to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.Posted on Google![]()

We had an unforgettable family holiday that focused on Safari in Botswana and South Africa, with a short stay in Victoria Falls before we began. I approached Michelle after an underwhelming experience with a run of the mill travel agent. Michelle’s experience as an Africa travel specialist shows - the trip was seamless and stressless from start to finish. Every single thing was thought of- every transfer, every meal, even what to pack- we just had to wake up at the right time each day. Michelle stays in touch with the you regularly, and is even available during your holiday if needed. Michelle is also flexible and works with your plan and budget- offering alternatives for you to consider but ultimately catering to what you want to do. And on top of all of this personalised service, Michelle’s quote was $17k cheaper than the equivalent Flight Centre option. Highly recommend.Posted on Google![]()

Michelle arranged us a 4 day safari at Thornybush Game Lodge near Hoedspruit. I couldn’t recommend highly enough, the experience was unforgettable and having the ease of mind everything is in order from take off to return is definitely worth it. Daily safaris and beautiful lodgings I would recommend to anyone to try thornybush if you’re lucky enough to choose Michelle to arrange your holiday! Having itineraries and drivers from the airport arranged is a luxury well worth it.
