African Explorations Luxury Tour by Private Jet 2019 July 1 – 16, 2019

A Journey of New and Exhilarating Adventures

Dear Friends, In my many years of traveling to Africa, I have never come across an itinerary quite like the one that you will see in the pages ahead. We created this unusual journey specifically to appeal to those who may have already traveled to Africa and have been inspired to return for further explorations.

Begin on the idyllic Indian Ocean island of Mauritius and witness a most unusual phenomenon called Seven Colored Earths; fly to the African continent and experience a tented camp safari that tracks the Great Migration in Tanzania, followed by a couple of days at the everchanging Victoria Falls. Then comes an unforgettable visit to the Skeleton Coast of Namibia, where you’ll see desert-adapted wildlife, and follow the unbelievable sand dunes along the rocky skeleton coastline that is littered with shipwrecks and whale skeletons. Finally, fall in love with the endearing meerkats of the Kalahari at Tswalu and discover this semi-arid wilderness which surprisingly support lion, cheetah, wild dog, desert black rhino as well as aardvark, aardwolf and pangolin.

Revel in luxurious comfort on your way to each location aboard the Lakani Private Jet. Accommodations have been chosen for their splendid locations, as well as their luxurious, yet authentic representation of the region. Encounters with local people, exhilarating excursions, fabulous cuisine, and the attention of the Lakani Tour Managers, local guides, and rangers complete this unforgettable trip.

I hope you’ll join us.
