Overview

Chongwe-River-House-ellie
Private bush villas, also known colloquially as ‘Safari Houses’ 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 camp’s facilities -  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.

All your arrangements/transfers worked like clockwork
"We have had the most fantastic holiday and that all your arrangements / transfers etc worked like clockwork. The accommodation and food was excellent everywhere we stayed. It has left us hungry for more (especially Victoria Falls) so we had better get saving for a return trip! This was our first trip to South Africa and we had no idea how stunningly beautiful your country is. " - Laughton Family, UK
Your prices better than the bigger companies
"Brian came home with your attractive brochure and we started looking at possibilities. We both thought Cedarberg would be too expensive for us but were pleasantly surprised to find your prices better than the bigger companies. The itinerary you gave us went totally to plan. All our airport pickups and transfers went smoothly and local drivers were friendly and informative. We also appreciated a ..." - Dale Family, UK
"We had a fantastic trip and were so pleased with your suggestions. I’m sure we will return to SA at some point in the future and would love to do more Safari trips elsewhere in Africa once the pound/dollar exchange rate improves.
