What to Expect

Exclusive Use Safari camps and lodges are becoming increasingly popular, and can now be found throughout some of the most pristine and beautiful safari destinations in southern and east Africa. Whether you’re travelling with a group of friends, or extended family, having an entire safari camp to yourselves gives you a whole new level of freedom to relax and enjoy Africa your way!

Most sole-use accommodations come with a private chef, butler and in-camp staff, as well as private game-drive vehicle(s), guides and trackers, ensuring you have a very intimate safari experience.

Exclusive use camps, villas and lodges provide for multi-generational families, and often allow younger children to join game drives, meaning remote safari locations are more accessible than ever before!

Whether you choose a private safari in a luxury villa, or a small, intimate camp, exclusive use gives you a slice of the African wilderness to yourselves, and time to reconnect with each other, and with nature.

Below is a list of just some of our favourite camps, lodges and villas available for exclusive and private use. Contact us for more information!
