The Art of Safari
Your Custom Safari
It’s the little things that make a safari yours. The thoughtful note on your preferences, the caring gestures from a personal chef who packed your favorite snack, the private guide who has known this valley for thirty years. It’s your aircraft on the airstrip, waiting only for you. It’s the staff that knows your name, your morning coffee, and which of your children spotted the leopard first. Celebrating every milestone under a wide African sky and creating memories that travel home with you. It’s that feeling, at the end of the day, of a lantern lit on the deck and a chair pulled out for you. Guided Safaris® curates a rare collection of luxury safari experiences, set within the most awarded private game reserves in Africa. Each Private Villa is finished with meticulous care for your comfort and ease, with uninterrupted views of the striking wilderness that surrounds you. Everything is cared for to the last detail, with nothing between you and the wilderness beyond your deck. This is the Guided Safaris® experience, exclusively yours. Just pick a time of year to go, and we’ll help take care of the rest.
Colotis regina. Queen Purple Tip. A jewel made of sunlight. Her violet tips are an illusion of light, only tiny mirrored scales that turn the sun to shimmering purple. Wings closed, she mimics a dry leaf and vanishes from sight.

High in the spring evenings, the Crane constellation climbs the sky: Alnair, the bright one, at the wing, Tiaki the red ember at the body, and the twin pairs glinting down her neck, while Fomalhaut, the Solitary One, keeps watch above her head. Late in the year, she flies almost overhead across every camp on our flight routes, above deltas that are home to the wattled crane and the dazzling crowned crane.
