Kenya: Masai Mara Private Concessions & Safari Villas
Kenya is a popular destination for safaris, but sometimes, top attractions like the Masai Mara can get crowded with many tourists and vehicles. However, with our Kenya luxury safaris, you can escape the crowds and enjoy exclusive lodges and tented camps in private concessions. In addition to exhilarating big game viewing, you'll have the opportunity to go on walking safaris led by Maasai guides, allowing you to explore the wilderness on foot.

These villas come with a private safari guide and vehicle, so you can experience game drives with your friends and family whenever you want. After a day of adventure, you can relax on your private deck and enjoy a delicious meal while discussing the day's sightings.
Tanzania: Serengeti Plains & the Ngorongoro Crater
Tanzania is the perfect destination for those who seek breathtaking imagery and serene landscapes teeming with wildlife. You can indulge in luxury camping with spacious walk-in tents in a serene private concession amidst the Serengeti plains or treat yourself to a lavish lodge atop the stunning Ngorongoro Crater.
If you prefer to explore lesser-known parks in the west and south of the country, we have a great selection of accommodations to choose from. To top off your luxurious Tanzania safari, we highly recommend spending some time on a tropical island off the Tanzanian coast for some sun and relaxation.
Notes for a Luxury Safari Traveler
As a luxury safari traveler, it's important to be well-prepared before embarking on your journey. You can find valuable advice on luxury safari travel by going through our notes.
Malaria-free destinations
Most of our luxury safari destinations are located in Africa's malarial belt. Although the risk of contracting malaria is often minimal or seasonal, we strongly recommend that you work with a medical practitioner or doctor and your safari expert to identify the severity of the risk and take necessary steps and medication to avoid the disease.
The best time for a luxury safari
The movement, behavior, and concentration of animals in Africa are greatly influenced by the seasons; therefore, it's crucial to know the right time and place to go. Game sightings are typically guaranteed during the dry season (usually also the peak season) when the vegetation has thinned out, and most animals are concentrated around permanent water sources.
Get in touch with us to determine the best time to go on a luxury safari, and we'll help you find the perfect destination to enjoy a rewarding experience.
Pack light
It's essential to keep in mind that if you're traveling in bush planes (which is often the case with luxury safaris), your luggage weight may be limited to as little as 10kg (20 pounds) per person. We recommend using soft bags that can fit into small overhead compartments.
