Go somewhere, different Luxury African safari trips designed to be different

Follow a map of Africa down, far down, below the Sahara, until you reach mile upon mile of wild Africa at the continent’s tip. This is the place we call home. You’ll find elephant-lined rivers at one end and seriously good wine at the other, all connected by a sea of tiny bush planes, ready to make their way to countless safari camps and beach hideaways surrounded by wildlife and with hardly another soul in sight.

Camps and safaris with all the things you’ll live for, not just the ones you can’t live without. It’s the difference between simply sleeping in a five-star bed and being able to stargaze from it. It’s about getting to know the smiles behind the service. It’s about feeling completely at home even when you’re a million miles away.

First, we get to know what makes you tick; the stuff that really matters to you. Then we get to work. Whether you’re desperate to tick off the Big Five, or perfectly happy enjoying a sundowner with hundreds of squabbling hippo’s arguing about who touched who and why, we know just where to send you. The sort of places you’re rather pleased you found.

Style has a wild side. Discover it in our collection of handpicked hideaways.

We see lu*ury differently. It’s about the stars above you, not just the ones on the door.

Dancing Springbok create mischief on a unique African safari with Hidden Africa

To us, different is delightful.
We create joy, and a little mischief too.

Lu*ury isn't what we sell.
It's how easy, personal and enjoyable we make the journey.
