An African safari is one of the most legendary trips you can make. This vast continent has some of the world’s last remaining wildernesses, encompassing sweeping savannahs, forests, floodplains and deserts, all teeming with magnificent wildlife, and where each destination is one of a kind. Our luxury safari portfolio covers some of the most spectacular locations throughout eastern and southern Africa, with a handpicked collection of superlative boutique lodges and camps.

SAFARI DESTINATIONS
Our safaris visit the continent’s most famous destinations, together with many lesser known, way off the beaten track locations in Zambia, Namibia and Malawi.
THE CAMPS & LODGES
From intimate thatched cottages nestling on a riverbank, to old style canvas camps with private plunge pools overlooking the savannah, and from desert retreats built into the rock to stilted huts amongst ebony trees, all our camps and lodges offer a luxurious setting with first rate service. Most take only a few guests, and others boast locations in private reserves where numbers are restricted. Most importantly, they all come with excellent expert guiding – the key to ensuring the very best safari experience.
WILDLIFE
Without doubt, the flora and fauna of Africa is stunning, from aardvark to zebra and everything in between. Whichever destination in our portfolio you choose, you are guaranteed to see a spectacular array of wildlife. We’ll advise on the best locations and safaris for what you’re hoping to see.
ACTIVITIES
The game drive is the staple of every safari – exploring the bush with an expert guide as dawn breaks or the sun sets, getting up close to some of nature’s finest creatures. We love a walking safari, while a horseback safari is an exhilarating way to see game. Throughout Botswana, you can take to the waterways in a mokoro (dugout canoe) or boat, and in many places there’s the chance to catch and release fish. For a bird’s eye view of the savannah, nothing beats a dawn balloon ride (usually followed by a champagne breakfast), or a helicopter flight over some of the landscapes most incredible features. Then there are the more unusual activities that get you under the skin of Africa. Spend time in a Masai village; visit a local school; bead with the Samburu or track game with San bushmen. Guests also have the chance to become involved in conservation efforts.
