Release your inner diva and stare into the sunrise
Fly-in Safaris Fit for Beyoncé
Luxury is stepping on a private aeroplane and flying directly to your luxury safari lodge. No queues, no crowds. No fuss.
With a fly-in safari, you travel in style, save time, and get to go to some of the most remote destinations in the world, including the Skeleton Coast in Namibia, the Okavango Delta in Botswana, the Serengeti in Tanzania, and private concessions in Kruger National Park. Some luxury lodges in Africa cannot be accessed by road. They can only be accessed by small aircraft or helicopters! Now, this is the level of luxury and exclusivity we need in our lives!
Private, Exclusive-Use Villas
One of our all-time favourite experiences is to have a luxury villa all to ourselves with an entourage consisting of a dedicated tracker, guide, butler or house manager, and private chef.
They're there to make your wildest dreams come true at your own pace. We're talking about paying attention to the smallest details, from food preferences to favourite drinks. Don’t like blue cheese? No problem? Love white wine? Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow.
And with having all the space for yourself, there are no awkward glances from other guests. It's your house, your rules.
Your space, your time – an exclusive-use villa in Africa gives you next-level privacy
Dreamy Star Beds Under the African Sky
Cue Disney dreams and magic. Sleeping under the African stars is taking romance to new levels, especially when it’s in the middle of the wilderness. It is ultra-private, ultra-exclusive, and uber-special. There’s no light pollution, so you might see the Milky Way and a few shooting stars (depending on the season). You’ll fall asleep to nature’s lullaby and wake up with unobstructed views of a magical African sunrise.
Feel all wrapped up in luxury with plush bedding, warm duvets, and mosquito nets, giving you a romantic adventure without compromising on luxury. It’s raw indulgence.
Up, Up and Away in Hot Air Balloons
Game drives are marvellous, of course. But not many can say they have been on a hot air balloon safari! Namibia and East Africa will give you some of the most jaw-dropping experiences of your life. A hot air balloon ride during the Great Wildebeest Migration will help you understand what two million wildebeest stampeding the savannah look like. And taking to the skies gives you an unmatched view of this epic natural occurrence.
Possibilities and dreams are endless. Hop on a Hot Air Balloon in Africa!
As you go up, up, up, you see as far as the light touches. The earth melts into the horizon. The landscape resembles abstract art. Your luxury safari will be taken to new heights. It’s also super romantic!
Snap Your Best Side on a Photo Safari
The best luxury lodges offer state-of-the-art photography studios and equipment. So whether you’re an amateur or professional photographer, they've got your back. This means you can travel light and have everything you need the moment you arrive. Also, one of the best perks of a luxury photography safari is the specialised guides. They know the ins and outs of photography and will know how to position the game-drive vehicle so that you can get the best shot.
You'll also not be rushed, as they get it. Photography takes time. Some vehicles are also specially equipped for photography gear, making it super comfy to get those perfect captures.
There’s no need to rush to get perfect shot on your luxury photography safari
Did we mention that some of the world’s best hides are in Africa? Some are next to the waterhole, and some are in the middle (we’re not kidding), giving jaw-dropping angles of wildlife coming for a refreshing drink. Word of warning: Your Instagram better be ready for all this hot content.
Helicopter Flips, Because Drama Is Seen from Above
If not from a helicopter, how else will you see the labyrinth of the Okavango Delta or the zig-zag gorge of Victoria Falls? Helicopter safaris reveal the sheer scale and beauty of the African continent, which not many people have access to.
It also gives you access to remote locations. Feel like the president and fly directly to a 5-star wine estate in the Cape Winelands, picnic in the mountains in Cape Town, or see the majestic Makgadikgadi Pans in Botswana. It’s an experience you'll fondly recount for years to come!
Let’s Plan Your Extravagant Safari
Life is either a dazzling adventure or as boring as a blank piece of paper. Pop the champagne. Use the fancy china. Fly first class. Book that luxury safari. Because you only live once.
