20 Days By Private Jet
- Departing:

Charting a course that connects both ends of Africa, we journey northbound to shadow the world’s greatest animal migration on earth, trek in search of mountain gorillas, dine in ancient temple ruins and navigate the Nile.
The Majesty of Mountain Gorillas
Trek through the cloud forests of the dormant Virunga volcanoes preparing for a vivid and personal encounter with these great creatures in the wild.
Drama on the Endless Plains
From the wilds of the Maasai Mara or the plains of the Serengeti, watch for Africa's Big Five - lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo and leopard - as the Great Migration of wildebeest, zebras and other animals plays out.
Pride of Africa Private Rail Charter
Between Pretoria to Cape Town, a private rail journey takes us across the grasslands of the Highveld, via the barren Karoo region and through the mountains of the Cape.
Dine Beneath the Pyramids
Head for the Pyramids of Giza after dark, where a private dinner takes place in desert tents furnished in a manner suited for a sultan.
Residences of the Highest Standard
Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge, Virunga Lodge & Bisate Lodge, Volcanoes National Park
High in the hills, these intimate collections of cottages offer views of mist-shrouded peaks and leafy valleys. We have exclusive use of these lodges, where quiet luxury is the ethos and which boast all you need before and after your trekking adventures.
Angama Mara, Maasai Mara
Soaring over the floor of the Great Rift Valley, this is the most magical safari camp Africa has seen. The lodges are scattered on an escarpment, with facades that open onto broad decks overlooking the Maasai Mara below.
Nyaruswiga Safari Camp, Serengeti
Across the Nyaruswiga plain lie the 13 boutique safari tents containing plush queen-sized beds, ensuite facilities and wide wooden viewing decks, perfectly planned for casual game viewing.
Cape Grace, Cape Town
A stone's throw from the V&A Waterfront, the Cape Grace's luxe maritime interior overflows with antique character. Here, our Luxury Rooms have unbeatable views of the city's working harbour.
PRIDE OF AFRICA ROVOS RAIL
Turn of the century in sensibility, we’ve chartered a train replete with mahogany panelling, discreet service and every extravagance you’d expect. Your Deluxe Suites accommodate a double bed, seating area and table, as well as a generous bathroom with shower.
Itinerary
TWO EXCLUSIVE NORTHBOUND DEPARTURES
No other earthly event embodies the struggle of life on such a scale. The Great Migration is, at its heart, a year-long procession of wildebeest – one that compels them to walk from the Serengeti to the Maasai Mara and back, where it begins all over again.
Calving in the Serengeti from Cape Town to Cairo, Departs 14 Feb 2019
Crowding the Maasai Mara from Cape Town to Cairo, Departs 14 Oct 2019
CAPE TOWN (SOUTH AFRICA)
In Cape Town options abound, including a helicopter flight, a cable car ride up Table Mountain and a visit to Mandela’s old cell. Incredible dining also awaits, including an exclusive dinner at the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa.
ROVOS RAIL (SOUTH AFRICA)
From Cape Town to Pretoria, a private rail journey takes us through the mountains of the Cape, via the barren Karoo region and over the grasslands of the Highveld.
VICTORIA FALLS (ZAMBIA)
By helicopter, boat and on a historian-guided walk, we enjoy several encounters with this natural spectacle.
CHOBE NATIONAL PARK (BOTSWANA)
From the only lodge within the park, we set out on skimmer boats and 4WD safaris seeking elephants, hippopotami, buffalo, giraffe, impala and crocodiles.
VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK (RWANDA)
A trek in search of golden monkeys and time sitting withmountain gorillas are but two of the wildlife highlights.
Calving In The Serengeti Or Crowding The Maasai Mara
Calving in the Serengeti, Departs 14 Feb 2019
Calling either the Elewana Serengeti Pioneer Camp or Nyaruswiga Safari Camp our home we’ve timed our Serengeti visit for the Great Migration during calving season and the chance to spot the Big Five – lion, rhino, elephant, buffalo and leopard. From a hot air balloon ride at sunrise and daytime 4WD safaris, to sundowners in the wild, fireside dinners, and animals wandering by the verandas of our boutique wilderness retreat, the Serengeti offers an Africa experience like no other.
Crowding the Maasai Mara, Departs 14 Oct 2019
Flying in by light aircraft, we’ve timed our visit for the Great Migration and the chance to spot the Big Five – lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo and leopard. From a hot air balloon ride at sunrise and daytime 4WD safaris, to a Maasai-led visit at a secret hilltop viewing spot for sundowners, our three-night stay at Angama Mara offers an authentic insight into the wildlife and culture of the Maasai Mara.
Depending on the chosen departure date, an amazing experience awaits in either the Serengeti or Maasai Mara
ADDIS ABABA & LALIBELA (ETHIOPIA)
By light aircraft we visit Lalibela. See churches hand-carved from rock, attend a ritual usually reserved for heads of state and be hosted by the mayor for a traditional lunch.
