DESTINATIONS

EXPERIENCES

Africa is all about epic journeys, following in the footsteps of explorers, witnessing majestic landscapes, and immersing yourself in fascinating cultures—it’s a place that truly calls for adventure.

Whether on foot, atop a camel, in a canoe, or sitting by a camp fire far from lodges and vehicles, it’s the simple pleasures that reveal the true essence of Africa.

 

From sleeping under the stars in a Fly Camp, to horseback riding across the Okavango, quad biking to a remote camp in the heart of a salt pan, or taking a helicopter day trip to the Jade Sea in Northern Kenya—Africa offers a range of experiences. It’s not always about the adrenaline rush… but it certainly can be.

The true luxury is escaping the hustle of cars, crowds, and any sign of human presence, immersing yourself in the pure solitude of nature.

 

Adventure Fly Camping – The true luxury is escaping the hustle of cars, crowds, and any sign of human presence, immersing yourself in the pure solitude of nature. We can include this in most safari destinations

Adventurous Transfers: Choose a guided walking safari, or even a camel or horse ride between camps, with the opportunity to spend a few nights under the stars in a Fly Camp along the way. We also love to weave in a helicopter transfer between camps – very popular in Botswana.

Sleep Outs: For a true taste of adventure, swap your cozy pillows for a night of fly camping beneath the open sky.

Kids Love It: There’s nothing quite like building a fire and sleeping under the stars—cub scout style!

Helicopter Scenic Flights: Take a dawn flight over the dramatic peaks of Northern Kenya or the Okavango Delta, landing on a mountain summit or an island in the floodplains for a picnic breakfast.
