We’ve recently returned from luxury safaris in Tanzania, Botswana, Rwanda and South Africa. Each destination offers exceptional wildlife viewing in beautiful landscapes, superb food and wine, warm hospitality and ultra-luxurious safari lodges.

Our Africa specialists have extensive first-hand knowledge in the top Africa safari destinations and can create an ideal private Africa safari tour based on your interests, such as watching the migration in Tanzania, enjoying water- and land-based safaris in Botswana, gorilla trekking in Rwanda and spotting the Big Five animals in South Africa.

We arrange all logistics for travelers on our private Africa safaris, including top safari guides and trackers, flights to and from game reserves (including private charter flights upon request), and a host of interesting activities around the safari lodges, such as seeing ancient rock art, visiting local villages and hot-air balloon rides.

Tanzania

With the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and other iconic safari destinations, Tanzania is always a top choice in East Africa. We recently spent time at several of the incredible Singita safari lodges in the Grumeti Reserve, a private concession in the Serengeti.

Favorite experiences in the Serengeti:

• A private hot-air balloon ride over the savanna at sunrise
• Seeing the astounding migration of wildebeest and zebras across the plains and watching fateful river crossings
• Experiencing the luxury and style of the Singita properties in the Serengeti, including Singita Sasakwa, a beautiful hilltop lodge with breathtaking views over the savanna

Botswana

We recently visited the top luxury safari camps in northern Botswana, one of the most exclusive safari destinations in the world, including properties in the Okavango Delta and the Linyanti Wildlife Reserve. Botswana offers outstanding wildlife viewing, unusual landscapes and ultra-luxury camps.

Favorite experiences in northern Botswana:

• Water safaris and outings in mokoros (traditional dugout canoes)
• Seeing the incredible density of predators on Chief’s Island
• A private scenic helicopter ride over the waterways of the Okavango Delta

Rwanda

A highlight of our recent visit to Rwanda was gorilla trekking in the lush landscapes of Volcanoes National Park, a bucket-list experience for many safari lovers. We combine gorilla trekking with stays at ultra-luxury lodges and time in Kigali, the interesting capital of Rwanda.

Favorite experiences in Rwanda:  

• Seeing mountain gorillas up close, including a day-old newborn
• Private yoga classes with views of the dramatic mountains of Volcanoes National Park
• Staying at Singita Kwitonda Lodge, a luxurious base for gorilla trekking

South Africa

We visit South Africa regularly. On our most recent visit, we enjoyed a luxury safari in the legendary Sabi Sand Game Reserve, which is renowned for its high density of wildlife, including the Big Five.
