Private Safari: JUST FOR YOU:
Whether you’re travelling with the kids and grandparents, a group of friends or even as a couple, You can select from any of above listed 3 safari routes, and make it Private, JUST FOR YOU.
Imagine: your own private plane and pilot for the duration of your trip, delivering you direct to lodges, efficiently and luxuriously. More space, more quality time together, and complete privacy.

Got a passion for leopards, wild dogs, or songbirds? You can let your guides know. Want to reschedule game drives for a longer lay-in or more time with a book? No problem at all. Want to feel like a VIP but without the prohibitive price-tag? That’s SkySafari specialty.
The cost per person will differ depending on how many people are in your group, but it’s more affordable than you might think. And for a group of 6 or more, it makes perfect sense.

They make sure that every SkySafari is as personal as possible. But when you take over the whole trip, just for your family, you truly do call the shots. Everything – every dinner time and activity departure, every breakfast preference and sundowner tipple – is tailored to your preferences.
There’s no need to share a safari vehicle – you’ll head out on game drives in your private vehicle, exactly when you want to. If there’s a particular animal you want to tick off, your guide will focus on finding it. If you want to spend more time watching that family of cheetah or those wallowing hippo, your driver will stay as long as you like. If you want to get back to camp in time for morning naps or pool laps, that’s down for you.
Sky Safari team can up the ante by organising bespoke experiences for your safari bubble. How about a big wilderness dinner, served under the stars, so you can share your favorite dishes as you listen to the sounds of bush? Or how about being whisked off to a private sundowner spot, to toast the day away from anyone else, in the most spectacular of locations? Or maybe a private horse-ride, so you can gallop across the plains together?
They take you to the most mind-blowing places, in the most elegant style, delivering you to the most luxurious locations and the most knowledgeable guides. But the finer details are up to you. Your Sky Safari can be what you want it to be: action-packed, laid-back, sociable, solitary, unique. You choose.
