  • Share this:

Our Urban Retreats are geographically located in areas where urban stays are needed to facilitate international travel or transit. They are designed to complement stays in our rural retreats, ensuring that the personalized service and overall experience of our more rural retreats is continued throughout your travels. A professionally hosted experience is complimented with great and imaginative cuisine, creating the perfect place from which to launch into or out of your safari, negating the need to stay in larger, impersonal, and less imaginative establishments.

Our Safaris

We are committed to providing world-class experiences for sophisticated and discerning travellers, offering great attention to detail in order to maintain the highest standards when planning and organizing safaris while still delivering excellent value for money. Our aim is to provide safaris that are educational, explorative, fun, insightful, and ultimately life enriching, with benefit for the places and people that we visit as well as for the guests we take there.

Private Guided

Each of these safaris are led by one or more of our highly respected naturalist guides who can also act as drivers of the private safari vehicles when travelling overland, thus allowing guests to sit back, relax and soak up their safari journeys.

Fly-In

Flying by either scheduled air transfers or private charter flights enables guests to see more places in a shorter time. The variations in the vast landscapes are emphasized from the air, and it is a particular privilege to see some of the areas you cannot easily reach by vehicle.

Self-Drive

Our enthusiasm for guided safaris and the extremely high quality of our guiding tribe mean that we would always recommend travelling with one of our guides. However, we are also willing and able to arrange self-drive safaris for partners when they feel this would be more appropriate for their guests.
