There are few journeys as immersive or as exhilarating as a full circumnavigation of Africa by private jet. Join us as we trace the continent’s vast and varied contours, traveling seamlessly from the ancient city of Marrakesh to the picturesque desert landscapes of Sossusvlei up through the wild savannah plains of the Maasai Mara, concluding in iconic Cairo. Along the way, take advantage of extended time exploring Cape Town, Victoria Falls and Nosy Be.
Spanning 20 days and more than 14,000 miles flying by private jet, this adventure offers a rare opportunity to experience the continent in sweeping perspective without sacrificing comfort or insight. Each day you’ll uncover the colorful mosaic of civilizations, landscapes and living traditions that have helped shape the course of human history. Flying private provides a variety of unique benefits—no waiting in lines, no cramped spaces, fewer baggage restrictions, and access to smaller, oftentimes private, airports. Equally important is the camaraderie that develops among your small group of like-minded travelers who share a curiosity about the world and a desire to explore it thoughtfully.
With access to numerous UNESCO World Heritage Sites, customized air travel that’s supremely satisfying, and four- and five-star accommodations chosen for prime locations and elevated amenities, this program represents the pinnacle of an awe-inspiring expedition.
