Ultra-Private East Africa
Three countries, zero friction. Every leg by air, every camp the region’s reference point, and the same team hosting from Nairobi’s jet bridge to Zanzibar’s sand.
The journey in three chapters
- Days 1–4 · Kenya
The Mara, privately
Met at the aircraft door in Nairobi (our guests’ reviews describe exactly this), overnight at a quiet suburban estate, then forty-five minutes by air to a private conservancy bordering the reserve. Capped vehicle numbers, off-road positioning at sightings, walking safaris and night drives the reserve cannot offer — with the crossing points minutes away in season.
Conservancy flagship camp — 3 nights
- Days 5–7 · Tanzania
The Serengeti, at altitude and on it
Cross the ecosystem by air (the border handled invisibly en route), landing where the herds are. Three days of private guiding from a flagship camp; on day seven, the balloon — an hour of silence over the plains, then champagne and eggs Benedict wherever you land.
Serengeti flagship camp — 3 nights
- Days 8–10 · Zanzibar
The private finish
Ninety minutes from airstrip to a beach house that is yours alone — chef, boat and boat captain included. A dhow sail, a reef morning at Mnemba, dinners barefoot on your own sand. Home on day ten, or honestly, later — most guests extend.
Private beach house — 2+ nights

What “ultra” means here
- One WhatsApp thread, one hosting team, three countries — no handoffs, ever
- Longest road transfer: 45 minutes. Total flying time: under 5 hours across the trip
- Rooms held at the reference camps before you commit — we ask for days, not deposits, to check fit
