Luxury in the wild

Luxury is about more than five-star hotels, butler service and gourmet cuisine, especially in Africa.

True luxury can be having an incredible landscape all to yourself. It can be the luxury of time, the time to sit back, relax and absorb your surroundings.

To sip a G&T after a thrilling day on safari against the backdrop of just another spectacular African sunset, the faint roar of lions in the distance is pure luxury.

Travelling the vast, untamed landscapes of Africa, encountering wildlife in their natural habitats, witnessing traditional cultures and gazing in awe at impossibly starry night skies. This is the Africa that inspires boutique travel company World Journeys. Experts in tailor-made travel, luxury African safaris are their speciality.

Being in the right place at the right time to witness the Great Migration of plains' game through the Serengeti, staying in a luxury lodge right in the heart of the Okavango Delta or tracking endangered rhino in the vast deserts of Namibia are just some examples of when an intimate knowledge of these incredible destinations is invaluable.

HOW TO SAFARI:

· Under-canvas safaris offer that nostalgic Out of Africa atmosphere, with billowing curtains and tall tales around the firepit at night.

· Walking safaris with expert guides allow an immersive experience where all your senses are alive and the smaller wonders are revealed.

· Mobile safaris see the camp moved seasonally to where the wildlife will be.

· Luxury rail journeys with Rovos Rail include safaris, golf and more.

· Fly-in safaris take you directly into remote and pristine wilderness areas, allowing more time on safari and less time on dusty roads.

Importantly, all of World Journeys' safari options are with operators who have conservation at their core.
