Luxury African Holidays

Extraordinary Africa creates unique African adventures, hand crafted for each traveller by our friendly experienced team. If you need to know the perfect spot for your sundowner, where to go if you just have to spot a leopard on your safari, and which beaches you can have all to yourself, just ask- we’ve been there.

We just do luxury African holidays- we don’t dabble in South America or dip our toes into Asia. Africa’s where our heart is, and where our years of expertise lie. We don’t just know the safari camps (though we’ve seen hundreds), we know the game reserves, the people and the wildlife. This means we can help you plan some of the most inspiring, exciting and original holidays going.

We’ve planned the trips that got the girl to say yes, the one-off adventures that sparked a whole new career, and the family holidays that’re so good you just can’t come home. Whatever it takes to make your own African adventure extraordinary, let us know and we’ll tailor it, just for you.

Planning family holidays is one of our favourite things but taking your tiddlers to Africa (or even your teens) brings a different set of requirements to other African adventures. You’ve got different ages and interests to consider,… Continue reading Families

Alex has planned two fabulous holidays for us in Africa! Her intuition regarding what a traveller wants and her deep knowledge of the African continent is par excellence! What I love about Alex is that she is definitely NOT an order taker. She has persuaded us to try alternate locations than our initial intention with amazing results! While on our holiday, she checked in with us from time to time to make sure all was going as expected. Of course, it was going even better than imagined! I look forward to our next African holiday and absolutely intend that Alex will plan it for us and be with us in spirit!

Just to let you know we are home safely having had the most amazing holiday! Your organisation was brilliant and everything went according to plan. Our feet haven’t quite touched the ground yet and I am still downloading all the photos – about 1700 of them. Thank you so much for arranging everything for us – we’re now planning the next trip.
