Tanzania Safari Experience
Tanzania is a destination of many wonders. It is home to some of the best national parks, private reserves and conservancies in the continent. From here, you can embark on some of the best African safaris. Serengeti National Park in particular, hosts the Great Wildebeest Migration, and depending on the time of the year, you can even see the iconic river crossings – a once-in-a-lifetime experience for any safari enthusiast.
The wildlife is what draws most travellers here, but this incredibly diverse nation has more to offer for those who linger a little longer. When on a luxury safari holiday in Tanzania, you could take on an epic challenge and conquer the magnificent Mount Kilimanjaro – Africa’s highest mountain. Then there is the idyllic Zanzibar and its stunning white-sand beaches – the perfect place to relax after days in the wilderness. Nyerere National Park is where you can spot huge herds of elephants and in the Mahale Mountains, you can come up close with chimpanzees.
And then of course, there is the exclusive Singita Grumeti. Extending over 350,000 acres, this is where you can experience absolute privacy and some of the best safari lodges in all of Tanzania. Our team are regularly on the ground visiting and re-visiting the most incredible places to stay, seeking out ever-more remarkable activities and testing new and exclusive experiences.
Experience A Luxury South African Safari
Experience A Luxury South African Safari
Few countries offer as much as South Africa. This is a country of untouched veld and remarkable game reserves, of dramatic mountains and surf-beaten coastlines. It’s the setting for the journey of a lifetime.
South African safaris promise more than just the famous Big Five. Head to the stunning Cape coast to spot whales before venturing into the bush to see lions stretch lazily beneath trees while eagles soar overhead and rhino, buffalo and elephants graze nearby.
Spend your nights in a luxurious tented camp, have a private game reserve all to yourself or watch the sun set over the wild beaches of KwaZulu-Natal.
In the country’s cities, opportunities to learn more about South Africa’s rich and diverse heritage abound, as do excellent guides and myriad opportunities to appreciate South African art and culture.
Our team of safari and South Africa experts, many themselves from South Africa, are here to help you create a completely bespoke itinerary based on your interests. Thanks to our personal experience, we can recommend the most luxurious places to stay and most memorable activities, while our Cape Town-based concierges can arrange tables at the best restaurants before you get here.
Kenya Luxury Safari
Considered the birthplace of safari, Kenya is one of those African destinations that can easily conjure up a sense of romantic escapism.
You'll certainly find your Out of Africa moment at the variety of luxury accommodation in Kenya. With the Masai Mara providing a stage for the Great Wildebeest Migration, Amboseli's mesmerising views of Mount Kilimanjaro, Samburu's beautiful leopards and Laikipia's unsurpassed wildlife conservation areas, Kenya is one of Africa's best luxury safari destinations.
Choosing a place to stay when embarking on a luxury safari in Kenya is almost as important as the national park or game reserve. While most Kenya safari lodges and camps offer fantastic game viewing and experiences, it’s important to choose the right one for you. To make things a little easier, we've rounded up the best safari lodges in Kenya in our Luxury Safari Experiences.
Experience a Luxury Safari in Botswana
Botswana is the only country in Africa where you can experience a luxury African safari on both land and water while staying in luxury safari lodges or superb tented camps. Here, an incredible 38% of the land is reserved and protected for wildlife and nature conservation. On a Botswana luxury safari holiday, you are truly enveloped in the wonders of untamed nature and the unique wildlife that call it home.
An African safari in Botswana invites you to experience the sheer magic of the Kalahari Desert, an area covering some 350,000 square miles. Here, you might spend a night under the stars beneath an ancient baobab or explore the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, one of the largest salt pans in the world and an important habitat for migrating wildebeest, Africa’s biggest zebra population, and greater flamingos.
Of course, we cannot forget about Chobe National Park and Moremi Game Reserve, both nestled in northern Botswana, in the Okavango Delta. These destinations are often the highlight of a Botswana African safari as they are known for unparalleled game viewing and luxury lodges nestled amidst the intricate waterways.
Rwanda is a country of unbelievable natural beauty. Scenes of rolling green savannahs lead to hills cloaked with tropical rainforests and bamboo groves. Dormant volcanoes rise from glassy lakes. The country is home to three protected national parks (Akagera, Volcanoes and Nyungwe) and Lake Kivu, one of the African Great Lakes.
The foremost reason many come to this central African nation is to see Rwanda’s rare mountain gorillas and silverbacks in the wild. The trek is undoubtedly one of the world’s greatest wildlife experiences, the time spent observing a dominant silverback or playful infant an immense privilege. Equally enthralling are encounters with Volcanoes National Park’s golden monkeys, spotted with the help of expert naturalist guides.
Our team are lucky enough to have trekked into the gorilla’s misty, leafy world on several occasions, their combined decades of experience bringing both an unmatched reverence for Rwanda’s remarkable wildlife and an intimate knowledge of the country’s top hotels and lodges – all checked out first hand.
Each itinerary our experts create is fully personalised, whether it’s purely an eye-opening trip to Rwanda or a journey across several African countries for an incredible safari adventure. You can expect seamless planning, fantastic drivers and the very best local guides and trackers.
Namibia is one of the world’s true wildernesses. One of the least densely populated nations on earth, it is a land of limitless horizons, endless sand dunes, oases of fascinating wildlife and ancient culture.
To the south, Namibia is dominated by the enormous and empty Namib Desert and the towering dunes of Sossusvlei. The wild shores of the Skeleton Coast hold a different appeal for those in search of adventure, as does the seemingly endless wilderness in Damaraland, where herds of desert elephants roam.
Epic Landscapes
There are some 25 wildlife parks and reserves across the country, making a Namibia luxury safari a wildlife-enthusiast’s dream. Etosha National Park alone is home to some 114 species of mammals, eight of them endemic.
Namibia is truly out of this world – where endless landscapes meet the open sky and every turn offers something new and breathtaking. It's a place where nature's beauty is unlike anywhere else.

Luxurious but remote lodges, tried and tested by our team, help the sense of being in the wild remain alluringly intact.
