The best of the best of Haute Voyage travel

“I had not known in advance what Africa would give me; but here lay that satisfying answer, the fulfilling experience. It was worth more to me than any anthropological yield would have been, any collection of weapons, ornaments, pottery or hunting trophies. I had wanted to know how Africa would affect me, and I had found it.” - Carl Jung

There is a fine art to curating transformative journeys across Africa. From the intricate logistics and meticulous precision, every element matters if you want to invoke the Africa effect. For me, sharing the pristine wild spaces of my home continent and the astounding power to summon sheer awe is my life’s purpose, my raison d’être.

Thus, I am thrilled to offer you three beyond first class experiences – unrivaled in the world right now - that showcase the absolute best of Africa without a minute wasted, aboard the Emirates Executive Private Jet. Designed to maximize the experience for those with limited time, each trip is an intimate, transcendent journey, peeling back the layers of this astounding continent and dialling into things that would take a lifetime to discover. Each movement is impeccably executed leaving you with nothing but time, space and freedom to just be in the moment.

If you could do all of Africa, just once...

The Greatest Safari on Earth

The Greatest Safari on Earth is, unequivocally, the world’s best safari. My home continent is full of dreams and surprises and for curious, open-hearted guests, there is always something new to discover. However, what if you were to take one journey above all others that would showcase the absolute highlights of Africa? The Greatest Safari on Earth is an Haute Voyage to four iconic destinations chosen for their spectacular beauty and wildlife at the peak moment of the year: the thundering Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World; the meandering Okavango Delta in Botswana, our world’s largest inland Delta and a UNESCO World Heritage Site that teems with wildlife; the iconic Maasai Mara in Kenya to enjoy front-row seats to the Great Migration; and finally, the mist-shrouded Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda, home to the mountain gorillas with whom we share a staggering 98% of our DNA.

The Greatest Safari on Earth is the culmination of 18 years of witnessing the life-changing effects of travel. It is a distillation of how exceptional wilderness experiences have the ability to awaken our better selves and bring out the best in us. This carefully curated journey means such scarcity is obtainable in only 12 days, view the full itinerary here.

Extraordinary diversity from the sand to the sea

Sand, Sea, City & Safari

Africa is a place of extraordinary contrasts and Sand, Sea, City & Safari is an homage to my home continents’ diversity on the Emirates Executive Private Jet. In one fell swoop, you will journey from sand to sea, soaking up the best of the wildlife, wild spaces, culture, food and conservation of Namibia, South Africa and the Seychelles. The common thread uniting these destinations but also spotlighting their immense topographical variety is sand; something so simple but so significant. These miniscule, ancient grains that change in color and consistency across all three destinations weave the journey together beautifully, each speck holding stories of past, present and future.

The experiences that bring this inimitable journey to life are rooted in ROAR AFRICA’s insider knowledge and years of expertise. From floating in a hot air balloon above the smooth ice-cream scoops of ochre sand in Namibia to basking in the exhilarating wildlife experiences – and culinary magic – of South Africa and snorkelling in the infinite blue of the Seychelles, every moment invokes that thing we are all searching for - wild awe. View the full itinerary details for Sand, Sea, City & Safari here.

The details: Sand, Sea, City & Safari is happening from May 13 – 20, 2025. Spaces are limited to 10 guests and the cost is $175,000 per person sharing

With One & Only

The Journey Beyond

“I feel immense pride that ROAR AFRICA holds the trust of a brand as esteemed as One&Only to deliver a trip that will change the lives of each of the ten guests on board in ways we cannot yet fathom.” – Deborah Calmeyer

At ROAR AFRICA, we always go beyond; beyond expectation, feeling, imagination and beyond first class. The Journey Beyond, in partnership with ultra-luxe brand One&Only is no exception. Africa, the vast continent of our shared humanity, will always have my heart but to explore further afield as this odyssey promises is a source of pride – not least that we hold the trust of the One&Only group.

The Journey Beyond begins at the world’s best new hotel, One Za’abeel in Dubai and continues to South Africa, Rwanda and the Maldives. Each carefully chosen destination offers rarified experiences that allow us to stop, to invite in stillness and profound peace. Imagine silently walking through the sacred emerald forests of Rwanda and finding a newborn gorilla nestled in its mother’s arms, or snorkelling in the Maldives’ infinite ocean, in waters so pristine. In Cape Town, we will be embraced by the warmth of Leeukoppie, the spectacular private estate of legendary One&Only founder, Sol Kerzner, and uncover the freedom, the art, the culture, the creativity that Cape Town offers. These moments are indescribable; they have to be felt – and that is what The Journey Beyond is all about. View the full itinerary here.

The details: The Journey Beyond is 13 nights long, costs $185,000 per person sharing and takes place September 14 – 27, 2025, aboard the Emirates Executive Private Jet. Spaces are limited to 10 guests.
