Sub-Saharan Africa
From the savannas of Kenya to the vineyards of South Africa, this region is rich in wildlife and wonder. We’ve scouted the continent’s most iconic lodges and private reserves to ensure your once-in-a-lifetime journey is defined by rare access and the uncompromising luxury our family demands.
The Soul of the Continent: Signature Sub-Saharan Africa Itineraries
Sub-Saharan Africa is a place that defies expectations and resets the soul. It is a region defined by the "Golden Hour"—that magical window where the light turns to amber and the savanna hums with the energy of the wild. From the iconic plains of the Serengeti and the Masai Mara to the labyrinthine waterways of the Okavango Delta and the rugged beauty of the Skeleton Coast, Sub-Saharan Africa offers the world’s most profound wildlife encounters. Our Africa travel itineraries are designed to move beyond the typical tourist paths, prioritizing private reserves and rare access that bring you face-to-face with the "Big Five" in their most authentic, undisturbed habitats.
Beyond the Safari: Expertly Vetted Wildlife Expeditions
While a safari is the heartbeat of any African journey, our family has spent years scouting the continent to find the experiences that transcend the standard "game drive." We’ve looked past the crowded national parks to find the quiet luxury of private concessions in the Greater Kruger, the secluded lodges of Botswana’s Linyanti, and the remote wilderness of Zambia’s South Luangwa. This firsthand vetting allows us to design bespoke Africa travel itineraries that offer genuine "once-in-a-lifetime" moments—think sunrise over the Victoria Falls without the crowds, private-led tracking of the rare white lioness, or a starlit dinner in the heart of the Namib Desert.
From the Winelands to the Waterways: Sophisticated Contrast
In Sub-Saharan Africa, the luxury lies in the diversity of the landscape. We focus on "Bush and Beach" or "Savanna and City" combinations that offer a study in sophisticated contrast. Our signature itineraries often begin in the vibrant "Mother City" of Cape Town or the historic vineyards of the Franschhoek Winelands before transitioning into the raw, uncompromising wilderness of the interior. We’ve personally vetted the continent’s most elite safari lodges and boutique coastal retreats—from industrial-chic hideaways in the Seychelles to sustainable "treehouse" luxury in the Sabi Sands—to ensure your journey is defined by both breathtaking adventure and world-class service.
Meaningful Travel and Uncompromising Luxury
A true African expedition is built on a foundation of conservation and community. We prioritize partnerships with operators who lead the way in wildlife protection and local empowerment, ensuring that your journey leaves a positive mark on the landscapes you explore. We focus on the high-touch logistics that make African travel seamless: private bush-plane transfers that bypass long dusty roads, expert-led tracking with the world’s most renowned rangers, and the "unseen" support that allows you to fully immerse yourself in the magic of the continent.
