African Adventures by Private Jet & Rovos Rail
OVERVIEW
The ultimate way to discover Africa is, of course, by private jet. Only in this way can we admire Egypt’s treasured collection of ancient artefacts, before flying directly to see the assembled herbivore herds of the Maasai Mara. Further south, we stand before the imposing, thundering Victoria Falls. No more than 43 guests will obtain rare glimpses of Africa’s icons with effortless ease and comfort.

By Business Class Private Jet
FLY BY BUSINESS CLASS PRIVATE
Travelling in comfort and style by business class private jet, our journey links remote destinations on a bespoke flight path. We take advantage of expedited customs and private terminals where available. Our Airbus A319 aircraft features a business-class configuration for just 43 guests.
EVERYTHING HAS BEEN CONSIDERED & INCLUDED
Along with all dining and drinks, your journey includes stays in some of Africa’s finest accommodation and enriching experiences in each destination. You will also be accompanied at every stage by an expert Tour Manager and Tour Doctor.
ADMIRE THE TREASURES OF ANCIENT EGYPT
Following an in-depth look at the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, we journey to the Valley of the Kings, where we look upon the tomb of Tutankhamun. Nearby, admire Nefertari’s tomb, then savour an exclusive dinner in front of the Temple of Ramses III.
SEARCH FOR THE BIG FIVE IN THE MAASAI MARA
Lions, elephants, rhino, buffalo, leopards. Mighty and majestic, these megafauna all roam the plains of the Maasai Mara. Our September departure is deliberately timed to offer us our best chance of seeing them all, as well as herds of wildebeest migrating from the nearby Serengeti.
GREETED BY GORILLAS IN RWANDA
Observe members of the endangered mountain gorilla species from mere metres away. Social in behaviour and devoted parents, gorillas are fiercely protective of their young. In Volcanoes National Park, we come face to face with these glorious primates—on their terms of course.
BEHOLD VICTORIA FALLS - ON LAND OR FROM THE AIR
Set out on a walk through breathtaking rainforest, arriving at the base of Victoria Falls. Witness torrents of water gushing over the precipice, as an ethereal mist ascends. For an even greater and more thrilling overview, climb aboard a helicopter.
THE ROMANCE OF ROVOS RAIL
Join the Pride of Africa at Rovos Rail’s private station in Pretoria, spending three nights on board the privately chartered train as we make our way to Cape Town, rolling through goldfields and semi-arid deserts. Enjoy meals in the elegant dining car, then retire to your comfortable compartment.
RESIDENCES OF THE HIGHEST STANDARD
THE ST REGIS CAIRO
The St Regis Cairo is a mosaic of refined elegance, with arched doorways, vaulted ceilings and rooftop gardens all paying homage to traditional Arabic architecture. Our Astor Rooms have been tastefully decorated and are enhanced by mesmerising views of the storied River Nile.
ANGAMA MARA LODGE, MAASAI MARA GAME RESERVE
Soaring high above the Great Rift Valley, this is Africa’s most magical safari camp. Tented suites are assembled along an escarpment, with floor-to-ceiling windows opening onto expansive decks that overlook the Maasai Mara below.
VIRUNGA INN RESORT & SPA, RWANDA
Enjoying vistas of mist-shrouded peaks and leafy valleys, Virunga Inn Resort & Spa offers bright and spacious self-contained rooms with private balconies. The restaurant presents a range of African and international cuisine, while staff are well-known for their warm hospitality.
SABYINYO SILVERBACK LODGE, RWANDA
Set high in the hills, Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge is ensconced within Rwanda’s lush tropical forests. After the experience of a lifetime, meeting the local mountain gorillas, enjoy returning to your cosy cottage, or perhaps take a position on the deck to admire the Virunga volcanoes.
THE ROYAL LIVINGSTONE, VICTORIA FALLS
Evoking Victorian elegance in impeccable style, our hotel is but a stroll from Victoria Falls. With views to the Zambezi River, your private outdoor area has been purpose-built for the enjoyment of gin and tonics.
THE PRIDE OF AFRICA, ROVOS RAIL
Turn of the century in sensibility, the Pride of Africa boasts classic mahogany panelling, discreet service and every extravagance you would expect. Absorb spectacular scenes lying beyond the windows of the lounge car, before retiring to your elegant compartment, as our privately chartered locomotive delivers us ever onward.
CAPE GRACE, CAPE TOWN
It is almost impossible to find fault with the Cape Grace. Situated just a stone’s throw from the V&A Waterfront, at the foot of the distinguished Table Mountain, its eye-catching facade evokes a European elegance, while its luxe maritime interiors exhibit fine antique character.
