Imagine indulging in your own private space to enjoy all the benefits of your southern African safari in private.
As southern Africa establishes itself on the international tourist map, more and more exclusive use properties are starting to spring up. These private homes and villas are ideal for a sizeable group of travelers such as the multi-generational family, offering complete privacy for family reunions or celebrations.
Fully equipped with all the home comforts and so much more, these luxurious properties are often more cost effective for large groups than multiple hotel rooms, giving families and friends the chance to experience Africa as if it were their own private paradise.
Personal chefs, for-your-eyes-only rim flow pools, and personal game or tour guides are part of the package at these intimate villas. We take a look at some of our favorites.
