The World’s Only Luxury Tours by Private Jet
Southern Africa & Antarctica by Luxury Private Jet NOVEMBER 6 – 21, 2022
Dear Friends, I am excited and delighted to share with you our Southern Africa and Antarctica Journey by Private Jet beginning November 6, 2022 in Cape Town. This unique program offers an array of landscapes from the deserts of Namibia to the diverse biomes of Kwandwe and then to the vast land of ice and snow that is Antarctica. Explore some of earth’s most pristine natural wonders in true Lakani style with exclusive camps and lodges, privately chartered aircraft, cultural encounters, riveting talks with experts, exquisite dining, and personalized service from beginning to end. Immerse yourself in the remarkable desert of Namibia, where wildlife have learned to adapt. Take part in guided walks and then hop on a quad bike for a thrilling ride on the incredible dunes. Join the resident astronomer as they unlock the mysteries of Namibia’s skies in the lodge’s state of the art observatory. It is the perfect spot for stargazing and getting lost in the deep secrets of the African skies. Seek out the ‘Big Five’ on morning and late afternoon wildlife drives at Kwandwe, become captivated by the rescued animals you will meet and discover the conservation that takes place in the private reserve. Enjoy a memorable day in the wine country of South Africa and see the adorable African Penguins at Boulders Beach, before heading off to Antarctica to see the real “March of the Penguins”. I believe that you’ll find the adventure to Antarctica to be extraordinary! Beginning with the flight over innumerable icebergs in the Southern Sea to continuous daylight at our destination. The camp is truly unique, and your days will be filled with one adventure after another – with gentle walks to ice waves and through ice tunnels, 4 x 4 rides through ice and snow to an oasis above the frozen waves and an unforgettable excursion to see Emperor Penguins. For those who are able, there is rock climbing and abseiling down the face of nunataks and much more. This all-inclusive experience is available for just 12 travelers and will be accompanied by an expert Lakani Tour Manager. As usual I shall be with you throughout to ensure an absolutely seamless vacation. It promises to be a trip of a lifetime and we hope you will consider joining us. With best wishes,
