Luxury safaris

Comfort, considered.

Luxury journeys are planned around comfort. Our catalogue names no lodges for them: where you stay, and how you travel between parks, is shaped with you during planning.

What to expect

Luxury, as our catalogue describes it.

The comfort level changes where you sleep and how much is fixed in advance. It never changes the parks or the wildlife.

  1. Lodges, chosen with you

    Every luxury journey says “overnight at the lodge” and names none. We discuss the lodges with you during planning.

  2. Road or air

    Most luxury journeys travel by road in a 4×4 Land Cruiser. Two are fly-in journeys, and the catalogue does not state their transport arrangements: ask us.

  3. Shaped around you

    Tell us what matters, from pace to privacy, and we will say what a journey can include. We confirm nothing until it is in your quote.

Where you stay

Where luxury journeys stay.

Every luxury journey in our catalogue stays at lodges, and our catalogue names none of them. We discuss the lodges with you during planning, and nothing is confirmed until it is in your quote.

How we approach accommodation

By air

Fly-in journeys.

2 journeys at luxury level are fly-in. Our catalogue does not state their transport arrangements, so ask us how you travel between parks and what the luggage limits are.

No luxury journey has a published price. Each is quoted once we know your dates, group and the lodges you prefer.

Before you book

Questions to ask us.

Our team answers each of these for the journey you choose, before you commit to anything.

  1. Which lodge would I stay at for each night, and why that one?
  2. Is the vehicle private to my party? Our catalogue does not confirm this for any luxury journey.
  3. On a fly-in journey, how do we travel between parks, and what are the luggage limits?
  4. Which experiences are included, and which would be extra?
