PRIVATE WILDERNESS

Imagine 500 sq kilometers of wilderness with not another soul. Just your private group, your experienced guide and thousands of animals all around you. Private wilderness areas ensure seclusion and some of the very finest luxury camps.

YOUR OWN TENTED CAMP

Whether you are a group of friends or a multi-generational family, you want to be on your own but still in the best location for animals with the classic under-canvas safari. Camp is all yours with your own vast luxury tents, camp staff, private chef, roaring campfire, impressively stocked bar, and long dinners full of laughter into the night.

VILLAS & BUSH HOMES

Picture a beautifully set private house in the Serengeti where the kids can run free, play in the pool, eat when they want and have their own room next door to Mom and Dad. A place where the family can decide to head out to explore early or late, play soccer after lunch or open another bottle of vino. No agenda, few rules, total freedom.

TOP GUIDES

A guide who can track an elephant and identify a rare bird, get lost in the bush (the fun way!), and speak the local language, sure. But also someone you can have a good chat with at the dinner table or over another whiskey around the campfire, and a person you can trust to take care of your family each step of the way.

ISLANDS & OCEAN

Seychelles, Zanzibar, Mafia, Pemba – all these names conjure up images of blue waters and white sand. Take it a step further: now it is possible to have your own private atoll, complete with a ‘barefoot luxury’ retreat, exclusive to just your family or group. When your safari ends, we fly you there on a private charter. Breakfast in the bush, lunch by the sea.
