Luxury Safari Travel Specialists

For over 30 years we have been creating private safaris to the timeless savannahs of Africa. We have navigated the Zambezi, explored the Namib and traversed the Serengeti. We have stayed in extraordinary safari lodges. We know the finest guides.

You are unique, so your journey must be bespoke. We listen to your dreams of encounters with elephant and leopard in Africa’s wild places. Then we curate a collection of intimate safari lodges just for you. We promise you the trip of your lifetime. Every time.

Extraordinary Safari Accommodation

In over 30 years arranging exclusive safaris we know the best places to stay and we’ll create an unforgettable sequence of camps and lodges to suit your tastes. A good level of comfort and beautiful remote settings are “givens”! Whether you prefer simpler canvas construction, a thatched cottage or an extravagant suite with a private pool is up to you. Our skill lies in creating the right combination of places and impeccable arrangements which combine to create your perfect holiday.

Positive Impacts When You Travel

Habitat degradation and competition for land threatens Africa’s unique wildlife. We select lodges and reserves which operate in mutually beneficial partnerships with local communities. By travelling with us you will actively contribute to the conservation of wildlife and the well-being of people at each location. We call this "Travelling Well".
