From private getaways to family journeys, every VIP African safari itinerary is individually designed around your preferences, pace, and comfort.

Our Australia-based team brings authentic, on-the-ground knowledge to every African adventure we design.
A five-star African safari should feel effortless, not overwhelming. Planning travel across multiple countries, charter flights, lodges, and wildlife regions can quickly become complex without the right guidance.
Destinations Africa creates fully personalised African safari itineraries built around your interests, travel style, and comfort level. Every journey is individually designed so you experience wildlife, landscapes, and culture without worrying about logistics.
From private air transfers to carefully selected lodges, every part of your wildlife safari is arranged before departure. You simply arrive and enjoy the experience.
Our clients choose us because they want a smooth and authentic holiday experience without the stress of coordinating it themselves.
Booking directly overseas often means dealing with time zones, unknown suppliers, and limited support during travel. If something changes mid-journey, help can be difficult to reach.
You can speak with us directly from our Nelson Bay office, providing a reliable local point of contact before, during, and after your travel. We personally manage every booking and remain available throughout your journey, so you always have support and reassurance while enjoying your VIP African safari.

This is especially important on luxury African holiday experiences where transfers, conservation areas, and lodge access require precise coordination.
A true luxury safari depends on the details – not just the lodge, but location, season, migration patterns, and access to wildlife areas.
We personally visit the regions we recommend. Our wildlife safari planning is based on recent travel, not brochures or third-party sales material. That means your itinerary is built around:
We also ensure that every journey we plan supports conservation and local communities across Africa. Our wildlife safaris use carefully selected lodges and conservancies that protect habitats and employ local guides and trackers. Responsible tourism ensures the animals you see today will still exist for future generations to experience.
Many travellers underestimate how complex safari logistics can be. National parks, conservancies, charter flights and road transfers all need careful timing.
Your African excursion includes coordinated meet-and-assist support at every transfer point. You are guided through airports, local flights, and border crossings so travel days remain smooth and safe.
Instead of managing the journey, you can simply enjoy it.
Every traveller wants something different from Africa.
Some want quiet wildlife viewing and photography, some want celebration travel, while others want a multi-country experience. We design:
Each itinerary balances wildlife viewing, relaxation, and cultural experiences so you never feel rushed.
Organising an African adventure independently requires coordinating multiple operators across different countries.
Many travellers find it difficult to know which lodges are reliable, which parks suit their travel dates, or how long to stay in each region.
Our service solves that with:
The result is a smooth, safe, and rewarding five-star African safari created specifically for you. You receive expert planning at no additional cost compared to arranging travel on your own.
Our knowledge is unrivalled, our service commendable. Access that knowledge to arrange your perfect escape (designed to cost no more than if booked directly).
Armed with 24/7 emergency numbers and pre-arranged personal transfers from every point of departure, you are free to explore the wonders of Africa in perfect safety and comfort.

There’s something magical about combining wild bush adventures with idyllic beach time. That’s exactly what the Tanzania Honeymoon itinerary delivers. You begin your journey under Africa’s open skies, exploring iconic
Our trip of a lifetime to East Africa and our safaris was absolutely mind blowing .The fact of seeing wild animals close up in their environment was a surreal experience that we will have lifetime memories from . This trip was planned over 18 months, and involved a lot of itinerary changes due to the […]
Everything was perfect, and the whole trip went seamlessly with everything completely organised. I really couldn’t have asked for better, from the wonderful accommodation to the drivers and guides, everyone made us feel so welcome. The Fairmont Norfolk in Nairobi was lovely, as were both the safari lodges. I think my favourite lodge though was […]
Dear John Thank you for arranging a fantastic time in South Africa and the Mashatu area in Botswana. This trip was in the green season, which not only provided great animal viewing but stunning scenery and the beauty of changing weather, which further enhanced our time. The highlight was daily morning sightings of the Brown Hyaena […]
Thank you again for organizing such an amazing experience for us. Totally different to South Africa (we enjoyed the complete holiday in SA with Victoria Falls, Cape Town and Soweto). Kenya was all Safari. We may have scared the House of Waine as we went out to visit the nightlife the second night for cigars […]
What an amazing trip we had. Just wow! It was above and beyond expectations. Felt like we were living in a David Attenborough documentary. Every single person every step of the way was wonderful. The guides, the accommodation, the flights, transfers, everything. Thank you for helping us have the absolute best-ever bucket list adventure in […]
You will be pleased to hear that we had a WOW of a time in South Africa. Firstly Cape Town exceeded our expectations with what was on offer with their wonderful scenery made by so many surrounding mountains. With respect to our time spent on safari, again, it was a wonderful time enjoying nature . […]
Wildlife safari pricing depends on season, destinations, and lodge style.
A fully planned, personalised safari Africa itinerary includes accommodation, guiding, transfers, park access, and support throughout your trip. We tailor your journey to your priorities so you get the best value without sacrificing comfort or safety. We suggest a daily budget of $1,000 to $2,000 AUD per person (excluding international flights).
Africa is a year-round destination. Timing depends on what you want to see, migration viewing, predator activity, or quieter travel periods. We recommend travel dates based on wildlife movement and regional conditions so your five-star African safari maximises sightings.
For first-time travellers, we often suggest South Africa, as it’s an accessible entry point to the continent, with a mix of landscapes and city travel. Kenya is another quintessential destination, or Tanzania, for the Great Migration. The right choice depends on your travel style, comfort level, and wildlife interests.
Working with experienced wildlife safari specialists means local support, clear communication, and help if plans change. You have one dedicated expert managing your entire trip instead of dealing with multiple overseas operators.
We recommend booking 8–14 months in advance, especially during peak wildlife seasons and at popular lodges. Early planning gives access to the best availability and ideal routing for your holiday.
Yes. With proper planning, Africa is very safe for families. We give you our wildlife safari tips to stay safe and use family-friendly lodges, organised transfers, and 24/7 support so you can travel confidently.
A luxury African safari tour means owner-run lodges with a handful of rooms instead of large group camps, top-tier guiding with a strong ratio of guides to guests, light aircraft transfers that cut out long road days, and an itinerary shaped around your interests rather than a fixed group schedule. For travellers who also want their own vehicle and guide for the entire trip, we offer that as a separate private safari option; it’s an add-on to the luxury experience, not something built into it by default.
How comfortably, thoughtfully, and seamlessly you experience Africa is what separates a luxury trip from a standard one.
You’re a guest wherever your luxury African holiday takes you, so it’s worth being mindful of local dress codes and customs.
Local people are often too polite to comment on inappropriate attire, but your respect for their customs will be noticed and appreciated. Keep beach clothing to the beach, rather than wearing it into nearby villages and towns, and in more conservative destinations like Zanzibar, aim for clothing that covers the knees, shoulders and arms, with men avoiding sleeveless shirts or going bare-chested in town.
