Private planes and guides elevate your safari to a whole new level!

We're not necessarily suggesting you fly from the US to Africa in an executive jet (even though it's entirely possible and absolutely takes the drudge out of international travel), but certainly recommend using your own private charters once you're on the ground there, and have the services of a private safari guide to personalize your safari experiences to meet you and your family's interests and needs.

Plane sailing...

Having a private plane cuts out the hassles of getting from place to place in Africa and allows you to build an itinerary that combines a number of different countries and destinations within them that are often too far apart to enjoy on a traditional safari. It also minimises time spent in busy airports, in queues and boarding lounges and allows for maximum flexibility when it comes to departure times. You're never going to be denied boarding if you're a few minutes late!

From a family perspective it's also much smoother and less stressful for children, and affords you levels of comfort and service while in the air that standard scheduled aircraft don't. No one wants to spend time with hundreds of people milling around a crowded airport check-in counter, with security checks and immigration desk lines stretching forever. Or the risk of cancelled or delayed flights putting an entire vacation at risk. So going private is a highly desirable option. 

Guide on tap...

A private safari guide also helps to reduce stress by allowing you to effortlessly navigate between countries and destinations, taking over the management of your itinerary and helping you to interpret everything you see and do, taking you to the best spots and maximizing every experience along the way. They accompany you on activities, helping you to interpret the African wilderness and teaching you about the wildlife you'll be seeing. 

Where families are concerned, private guides also work out amazing things for your kids to do and see and become an extended part of your family for the time you are together, allowing you to completely relax, unwind and let someone else deal with all of the nitty gritty details, dot i's and cross t's.

Exclusivity guaranteed

To complement your private plane and private guide, we recommend exclusive-use safari destinations that offer stand-alone family accommodation options, private vehicles and tailored safari activities for all members of your family. We work with some of the finest safari brands in Africa offering exceptional private safari houses, villas, tented family suites and small, intimate private camps that can be taken out entirely, all in some of the most sought after safari destinations in Africa. 

All of them offer fabulous programs created for children on safari, giving your kids their own version of a privately guided experience! 

Diverse destinations

On a private safari you can effortlessly combine the best Africa has to offer on one incredible vacation. From the Great Wildebeest Migration in East Africa and gorilla trekking in Uganda to the legendary Okavango Delta in Botswana, Kruger National Park and Cape Town in South Africa, the Victoria Falls, Mana Pools and Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe and Zambia's Lower Zambezi Valley and South Luangwa. The possibilities are literally endless.

We guide you through the process of putting your itinerary together, selecting the destinations you want to include and creating a portfolio of amazing lodges, camps and hotels to stay in, things to do and see and must-visit places along the way. We put together a short list of guides we work with and help you select the best private plane options for your family.
