Luxury Safaris made for you

Discover incredible wildlife around the world on private luxury safaris

Embark on expert-led expeditions into some of the world's most diverse ecosystems

Spanning the vast African plains, the wetlands of Latin America and the forests of Asia, the world’s wild spaces offer spectacular safari adventures.

Track mountain gorillas in Rwanda, search for jaguars in the Pantanal and spot leopards in Sri Lanka. Our specialists will select exclusive lodges and immersive wildlife experiences, hand-crafting a luxury safari designed around you, for families, honeymooners, groups and more.

Find the Big Five in South Africa, Kenya and Tanzania, keeping track as your guide points out a myriad of other creatures. While Botswana and its neighbours Zimbabwe and Namibia invite you to find wild dogs, desert-adapted elephants, giraffes and hippos.

Costa Rica and Brazil are excellent luxury safari destinations year round and a trip down the Amazon makes for a thrilling wildlife cruise. Across the Patagonian Steppe head out on a private expedition to track the elusive puma alongside expert naturalists. Or embark on a polar safari to spot polar bears in the Arctic or penguins in Antarctica.

The rainforests and mountains of Borneo are home to orangutans, pygmy elephants and Borneo rhinos. And a wildlife safari in India offers the chance to see tigers and leopards in the wild.

Our team loves to recommend lesser-known green season safaris. These journeys are peaceful, with lush scenery, newborn animals and predator action. Our carefully curated birding safaris unveil an astounding diversity of spectacular avian life: puffins in Iceland, birds-of-paradise in Indonesia and so much more.

Walking safaris provide an intimate look at the wilderness through the eyes of expert guides. In the rainforests and jungles of Latin America and Asia the transition into nighttime nature walks brings a new perspective; as golden light paints the landscape, you’ll head out to witness nocturnal wildlife.

Where to go

When to travel for safari

While the seasons vary across the globe, the drier months typically offer the most remarkable opportunities for wildlife viewing. Between June and October, the receding waters of East Africa and Brazil’s Pantanal draw majestic species toward permanent water sources, providing unparalleled visibility and concentration. If you’re going on safari in Costa Rica or India, the window from November to April is ideal for spotting tigers and tropical birdlife, while March to October offers the best conditions for seeing the orangutans of Borneo.
