The pinnacle of African travel: exclusive-use villas and private houses, your own dedicated guide and vehicle throughout, private jets and helicopter excursions, and the rarest, most personal experiences money can buy — designed entirely around you.
An ultra-luxury safari is entirely private and bespoke. You take over an exclusive-use villa or private house with your own staff, travel with a dedicated private guide and vehicle throughout, and move by private charter, jet or helicopter rather than scheduled flights. Add a private chef, butler, spa therapist and rare access — gorilla habituation, private conservancies, conservation experiences — and it's a journey built around you alone. Expect $1,500–$5,000+ per person per day.
Where luxury delivers the finest camps and private guiding, ultra-luxury removes every limit. You don't book rooms — you take over an entire exclusive-use villa or private house, complete with your own chef, butler, guide and vehicle. The property, the schedule, the menu and the activities are all yours, with nothing shared and nothing fixed.
Travel is by private charter, jet or helicopter, so there are no scheduled-flight timetables and no waiting — you fly when you wish, often landing on remote private airstrips or scenic helicopter pads. A helicopter can turn a transfer into a flightseeing safari over the Rift Valley, a remote crater or a Migration river, or whisk you to a private bush breakfast no road reaches.
Above all, ultra-luxury is about access and the bespoke: private gorilla habituation experiences with researchers, behind-the-scenes conservation and anti-poaching visits, private dinners staged in extraordinary settings, and itineraries designed around a single family or party. It is the safari distilled to its purest, most personal form.

Flightseeing over the Rift Valley and craters, and helicopter access to picnics and peaks that roads can't reach.
The same expert guide, vehicle and support staff with you throughout — they learn exactly how you like to travel.
Gorilla habituation with researchers, private conservation experiences and access most travellers never see.
Private chefs, sommeliers, spa therapists and surprises staged in settings designed to take your breath away.
Where to Go
The world's most celebrated private houses, villas and exclusive camps. Select one to explore.
Exclusive-use homes on vast private ranches and conservancies — Ol Jogi, Sirikoi, Loisaba's villas — with your own staff, guides, horses and aircraft, and rhino conservation on the doorstep.
When to Go
The very finest properties have a handful of rooms and book a year or more ahead.
Dry season — peak

Green season
The most exclusive value, dramatic skies and superb photography, with the most flexible availability at the finest properties.
Short rains
Lush, quiet and beautiful, with easier access to top properties and excellent private guiding before the festive rush.
