Luxury safaris to Botswana, Kenya, Zambia, Namibia - African Explorations

Our Premium Service

We have introduced our Premium Service in response to our client’s demands. The service is multifaceted, completely flexible and designed to run as an additional layer to our highly bespoke safaris and holidays.

The Premium Service caters for those:

  • who want ultra-private or V.I.P. arrangements at all levels;
  • whose time is most valuable;
  • who want as much detail as possible arranged on their behalf prior to their departure;
  • who simply wish to have “that little bit extra”

The Premium Service can arrange the following. Whilst discussing your holiday with us, please feel free to ask about any of the services within the Premium Service portfolio, we will then quote accordingly:

Aviation and Airport Based Services

We are able to arrange private charter from the UK, USA or Europe to all the destinations we feature.

Aircraft used range from rotary wing for local collection to Midsize (eg Falcon/Hawker/Lear) and Heavy Jets (eg Embraer/ Gulfstream) for International Departures.
