In the heart of Africa’s untamed wilderness, the spirit of adventure thrives, and the call of the wild echoes with every heartbeat. This is where you will find a luxury safari experience that is different.
Luxury Safaris: We use private bush planes to fly you in and out of outstanding bush camps off the beaten track but within the parks. In remote locations like our Uganda safari, bush planes are not feasible as the airstrips are hours away from camp, making helicopters the most viable transportation option.
Top Class Luxury Safaris: High-end safari camps in fabulous locations, excellent cuisine, flawless service, and a remarkable guide, one of our owners, elevates your safari experience to the highest level. You get all the perks, including premium drinks, massages, yoga, etc. High-end clients may want exclusivity, not only with helicopters but also the exclusive use of the safari camps. Helicopters are the preferred mode of travel in and out of camps and remote locations due to convenience, flexibility, prestige, and time. If additional security measures are necessary, we are prepared to meet and exceed those requirements.
The backbone of luxury safaris are the bush camps located within the game parks. Being inside a park is the premier option, as you won’t have long drive times in and out of the parks that budget and moderate properties require. They have to exit the park by 6:00 pm, whereas you sleep within the park.
Some high-end safari camps and lodges are located outside the parks in conservancies. You will need to weigh the logistics. If so, there will be long drive times to and from the parks. You must check in daily at the gates and leave by 6:00 pm. And if you want a morning balloon safari, you often have a 2-hour drive to the launch site, leaving at 4 am to get in the park and make that flight.
These exterior luxury safari camps promote their conservancies for your game drives. That may be fine for a day or two, but what about quality time in the game park where you came to safari? Some conservancies have a lot of wildlife, whereas others are marginal. It depends on their locations and conservation efforts.
That being said, there are always exceptions, like our Tanzania Legendary Expeditions safari that uses Mwiba Lodge. It’s a secluded, sophisticated haven set among massive stone boulders overlooking a rocky gorge on the Arugusinyia River in the Mwiba Wildlife Reserve Conservation Area.
This area is remote, rugged bush country, and the ultimate bush plane flying, which you have exclusive use of. Your pilot will fly you over this vast area to show you big herds of giraffes, Cape buffalos, and the Great Wildebeest Migration, which travel through Mwiba, followed by the attending predators. This reserve is off the grid. When leaving Mwiba, you’re flown to the Serengeti for the next Legendary safari camp.
The African bush is a feast for the senses. The smells of exotic flowers, brilliant sunsets with extraordinary colors, and the sounds of trilling rare birds to apex predators hunting at night are all essential to Africa's mystique.
