Safari Highlights
This is a gate-away expedition that will give you a taste of both the bush and the beach, in a sense, paying homage to the home of the African’s classic safaris, but just a little more on luxe side, a perfect holiday escape from the hustle and bustle.

AFRICAN EXPERIENCE
“Africa is mystic; it is wild; it is a sweltering inferno; it is a photographer’s paradise, a hunter’s Valhalla, an escapist’s Utopia. It is what you will & it withstands all interpretations. It is the last vestige of a dead world or the cradle of a shiny new one. To a lot of people, as to myself, it is just home.” -Beryl Markham
