Luxury Experiences in Africa

It’s not until you’ve visited that you truly grasp the immensity—and immense variation—of the continent of Africa. The endless dunes of the Sahara; the Serengeti’s Big Five; the sensory overload of the souks of Marrakech; the honeymoon paradise of beach-gilded Mauritius. See this as your inspiration wall for designing the ultimate African luxury adventure.

Our custom-made Africa itineraries reduce the second largest continent to its most extraordinary and intimate essence. By supplying world-class guides, precision planning, and expertise of the continent that’s second-to-none, we deliver unforgettable private adventures that mix culture with wondrous wildlife.

What to expect

Take in Victoria falls from above in a helicopter and  experience tribal rituals accompanied by expert guides to search for unique wildlife. See caves tattooed with ancient rock paintings and directly contribute to the conservation of endemic species. Drift from one secluded island to the next onboard a superyacht, or simply relax on private, sun-soaked beaches.

The accommodation options draw inspiration from their natural surroundings and play a large part in the overall experience, so we have hand-picked these incredible lodges and hotels. Redefine luxury in riad in Marrakech, book a single room or take over an entire property in Namibia’s desert. Or for something a little different, stay in one of our hand-picked luxury tented villas nestled into the African plains, the epitome of modern luxury in a realm of their own.

Wildlife and Conservation

Awaken to the jungle’s call or the sounds of the bush… If it is seclusion you are looking for, then Africa’s wetlands, rainforests and savannahs is where you will find it. Privacy and space to roam is plentiful, as is the wildlife. Picture thatched villas overlooking the Indian Ocean on a private island in Mozambique’s archipelago, sunrise safari drives through the African bush and life above the clouds in Rwanda’s mountains for mystical sightings of their famous inhabitant, the Gorilla.

The work of our conservation charity, Pelorus Foundation, has brought about many unique and exciting opportunities for guest involvement with conservation initiatives close to our heart. Please contact one of our team members who will be happy to chat about incorporating a conservation experience into your adventure.

On the Water

The East African coast is a yachting paradise. Explore jungle-tousled islands in the Indian Ocean offering as much history as biodiversity, and stunning diving opportunities just offshore. Take a step back in time through an Africa rarely visited and embark on an incredibly immersive yachting itinerary which incorporates wildlife, adventure, history and culture in an exciting way. Or, experience a safari in a new way with a stay at a waterfront camp exploring via mokoro (traditional canoe) and floating down the mighty Okavango Delta.

‘The East Coast is one of least explored parts of the world in the eyes of the superyacht industry, however with Pelorus to assist, you can discover new horizons, incredible natural events and a team who can provide something truly magical for your guests.’ – Elise Ciappara, Head of Yacht Expeditions
