The Ultimate African Dream Trip: Gorillas Trekking, Private Safaris & Ultra-Luxury Lodges Across Rwanda, Kenya & Tanzania
There are luxury vacations, and then there are life-defining experiences that reframe how you see the world. This ultra-high-end African adventure is designed for discerning travelers who crave rare wildlife encounters, private air travel, and the kind of lodges that are typically booked out months (or years) in advance.
As your trusted travel advisor, I help you secure exclusive space at properties like Bisate Reserve, Ol Jogi, and Singita Milele, where even a whisper of availability can disappear overnight. Here’s a glimpse at what a true bucket-list journey through Rwanda, Kenya, and Tanzania looks like crafted with intention, conservation, and comfort in mind.
Rwanda: Gorilla Encounters & Conservation Luxury
Your journey begins in Kigali, where you’ll settle into a four-bedroom private villa and enjoy a guided city tour, including a poignant visit to the Genocide Memorial. But the real magic begins when you're transferred either by scenic drive or private helicopter to the edge of Volcanoes National Park, home to endangered mountain gorillas.
At Bisate Lodge, tucked into the forest near Dian Fossey’s historic research base, you’ll enjoy an all-inclusive stay in stunning forest villas. Spend your mornings on guided treks to see golden monkeys or participate in a once-in-a-lifetime gorilla trek (age 15+ only) with the option to upgrade to a private permit experience. Don’t miss the behind-the-scenes tour of the Ellen DeGeneres Campus of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund.
🌿 Why it matters: Every step of this journey supports local communities and conservation efforts in Rwanda—sustainable travel at its finest.
Kenya: Ol Jogi’s Private Safari Paradise
From Rwanda, you’ll soar via private PC12 aircraft to Ol Jogi, one of Kenya’s most exclusive private conservancies. This luxurious family estate in Laikipia offers a completely private safari experience: no other guests, no crowds, just you, your expert guides, and the Big Five.
Expect sunrise game drives, elegant meals under the stars, and unparalleled service at this property that redefines what it means to safari in style. It’s ideal for multigenerational families or friend groups celebrating a milestone.
✨ Bonus: You’ll have a full villa buyout, including activities, private chefs, and a team dedicated to your experience.
Tanzania: Serengeti Safari at Singita Milele
Next, your private plane will whisk you to Grumeti Reserve in the western Serengeti, home to Singita Milele, a five-bedroom private villa set in the path of the Great Migration.
Here, luxury blends seamlessly with nature. Think infinity pools with wildlife views, top-tier culinary experiences, and daily private game drives into one of the most iconic safari landscapes on Earth. From June onward, the reserve is alive with wildebeest, lions, elephants, and cinematic sunsets.
🛩️ Details: All travel is arranged via private aircraft, with personalized assistance through all international border crossings.
