Dear Travel Friends,

It is with great pleasure that we present to you an extraordinary journey around Africa by private jet in July 2025. The trip encompasses a collection of diverse landscapes and cultures on the continent, where you’ll have ample opportunities to see a variety of wildlife, birds, and ocean creatures. Experience natural wonders, like safari in Linyanti Wildlife Reserve – home to a large population of elephants and myriad of other wildlife and birds. See Victoria Falls, world’s largest waterfall, and the dunes of the ancient Namibian Desert. Venture into the African bush in Tanzania and South Africa to view myriad fascinating animals in their natural habitat. Study the stars in the stunning African skies with an astronomer. Enjoy Sundowners by the fire or while on safari at the end of the day.

The carefully selected accommodations will provide a luxury in keeping with Lakani’s high standards in suites and luxury tents in ideal locations. All meals are included – dine in the comfort of your room if you wish.

While on the Lakani Private Jet, enjoy superb service and meals from a hand-picked crew, and stretch out in your extremely comfortable business class seats. It’s your home in the sky for the duration. Of course, traveling by private jet is really the most expeditious way to see all the fabulous places on this trip. And you’ll revel in the royal treatment you’ll receive on arrivals and departures along the way with the unrivaled attention from two Lakani Tour Managers who will accompany you.

This adventure is truly one-of-a-kind, and we hope you’ll consider being included in the small group of just 15 travelers to join us.
