Overview

Chongwe-River-House-ellie
Private bush villas, also known colloquially as โ€˜Safari Housesโ€™ in Africa, are taken on an exclusive use basis by one party. These villas in the bush have their own game ranger and private vehicle for your game drives. Plus a private chef and full staff complement.

The beauty of this is that you can choose your own game-viewing rhythm. Which means that bush villas are also perfect for family safaris. This accommodation set-up leads to a much more relaxed and flexible family safari. No constant worrying about noise levels. No self-consciousness about an impromptu ball game on the lawn.

Some private safari houses in Africa are totally alone. Whilst others are part of a larger camp - but set away. This means you have the option of enjoying the campโ€™s facilities - ย perhaps having a convivial drink at the bar or a massage? Or keeping to yourselves. Truly, the best of all worlds.

Where can I find this exclusivity?

Private Safari Villas

In Zambia, Kenya and South Africa we can recommend a number of private safari houses. Luxurious self contained homesteads which your group of friends or family party take as one unit.

Hope to return for a third visit
"Helpful, patient, understanding. Did not meet anyone face to face but seemed friendly over the email. Although the trip was basically our design, it was good to work with Peter in deciding the actual locations and final route. He took all the โ€œadminโ€ hassle away โ€“ car hire, arranging accommodation etc. which meant we could just arrive and enjoy the trip. The final printed trip programme w ..." - Mr & Mrs Harrison, UK
