African Adventure by Luxury Private Jet July 12 – 26, 2023

Fascinating Mix of Cultures, Landscapes & Wildlife


Dear Traveling Friends, It is truly a pleasure to present to you the all-inclusive African Adventure by Private Jet 2023, a journey with a kaleidoscope of attractions. As you review the pages ahead, you’ll recognize that this 15-day trip goes beyond the usual safari destinations in Africa. Spot lemurs and Humpback Whales on the island of Madagascar; immerse yourself in the serene surroundings of an elephant sanctuary and try your hand at painting with the help of a private tutor; peacefully ply the waters of the Okavango Delta in a traditional mokoro and take in the birdlife in the trees and the land animals in the distance; swim with dolphins or simply relax in a sheltered bay in Mozambique; and enjoy a memorable safari in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve, home to a plethora of wildlife including the famed ‘big five.’ With a small group of just 15 like-minded travelers, you’ll be pampered while aloft in your spacious and comfortable seat in the VIP Jet by the hand-chosen crew. The personal attention continues in each destination by the friendly lodging staff, expert local guides, as well as your professional Lakani Tour Manager and Operations Director. The carefully selected accommodations will provide a luxury in keeping with Lakani’s high standards in villas, suites, and ideal locations. All meals are included – dine in the comfort of your room, if you wish, or at any dining outlets in the vicinity. Enjoy helicopter excursions over majestic Victoria Falls and the UNESCO World Heritage Okavango Delta, guided walking safaris in the bush, local village visits and wildlife explorations. You may realize that an itinerary that includes South Africa, Madagascar, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Mozambique in just over two weeks would not be possible without the help of our magic carpet in the sky, the Lakani Private Jet. It is why so many of you are drawn to these journeys. If you have not yet had a chance to join us on an extraordinary private jet sojourn, perhaps this unique itinerary will entice you for 2023.

Effortless Travel Between Destinations On A Private Jet Sink into luxury in your leather club seat on your posh VIP Private Jet. The jet which usually seats more than 40 passengers, is custom-fitted for a maximum of 15 travelers.

Experience arrivals like royalty, often at private terminals where customs and immigration formalities happen before you realize it.

It makes it possible to stay in boutique hotels/ lodges and allows suite accommodations for all. Become immersed in the sights in your window seat on your small luxury vehicle.

The island gained independence in 1960 and is now a constitutional democracy. Having developed in isolation, the island nation is famous for its unique wildlife and is considered a biodiversity hotspot.
