It’s hard to beat the thrill and excitement of being immersed in the enthralling wild...

No safari is the same and this is why safari holidays are so unique and special. We believe every traveller should add this experience to their travel diary once, if not multiple times!

Luxury safari options are endless. Nowadays wildlife spotting amongst the enthralling Serengeti in a 4x4 is just one element of a safari adventure. Hot air balloon safaris, night safaris and kayaking safaris are such magical ways to watch wildlife too!

When you embark on a safari, you open up a treasure chest of biodiversity; savannahs, wetlands, rainforests, jungles, rivers and wildlife. Whether that be in Africa, watching on in wonder as millions of wildebeest and thousands of zebras embark on their migration or in Borneo, befriending orangutans and elephants in the luscious jungle.

Wherever you choose, you can be sure to unwind and relax in luxury. Whether that be in an extravagant tented lodge with a secluded bath or in a luxurious tree house next to the watering hole, neighbouring the gracious elephants.

Whatever your safari dream, we are ready to design an unmatched luxury safari experience for you to enjoy. Reconnect with nature, rediscover your inner child and rekindle with loved ones, making memories you’ll cherish for life.

Have a look through our selection of favourite safari hotels below for some inspiration but get in touch with our travel consultants to start designing your luxury safari adventure.

The ultimate safari getaway. The serengeti is magical enough (with dreamy sunsets and thrilling animal sightings) but this hotel takes it to a whole other very luxurious level.

Located deep in the heart of the stunning Serengeti, elevated on a series of platfoms and walkways, you'll find the Four Seasons Safari Lodge. Watch in wonder from your private balcony as a family of elephants stop by to the hotel's watering hole for their morning drink. Embark on private, or shared, thrilling game drives with the local Masai tribes protecting you or soar high in the sky on a hot air balloon safari. Then return to the Safari lodge, where the secluded guest rooms, elegant spa and idyllic infintity pool promises a luxurious respite during your African adventures.
