African Wildlife Plains: A New Standard of Luxury Travel
Who We Are
African Wildlife Plains is a boutique luxury safari and wildlife travel company, founded and owner-managed from Cape Town, South Africa. We are specialists in bespoke, tailor-made journeys across Southern and East Africa — crafting deeply personal itineraries that go far beyond what any catalogue or off-the-shelf package could ever offer. We are not a large agency processing high volumes of bookings. We are a small, passionate, and dedicated team who believe that the best safari begins long before you board your flight — in the conversations, the planning, and the careful understanding of exactly who you are and what you dream of experiencing in Africa.
Every enquiry we receive is treated as unique. We take the time to listen, to ask the right questions, and to truly understand your travel style, your family, your interests, and the kind of memories you want to bring home. From there, we design an experience that is entirely yours.
What We Specialise In
We specialise in luxury, private, and custom safari travel — with a particular focus on private game reserves, exclusive bush camps, and coastal escapes that combine seamlessly with wilderness experiences. Whether you are planning a romantic honeymoon, a multi-generational family safari, a once-in-a-lifetime bucket-list adventure, or an intimate couple's escape, we will build it from the ground up with you.
Our itineraries regularly combine destinations across South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Tanzania, Namibia, Zambia, and Mozambique — blending diverse ecosystems, iconic wildlife corridors, and extraordinary hospitality into journeys that feel effortless from start to finish.
Our Approach
At African Wildlife Plains, we believe that luxury is not simply about the thread count of your sheets or the label on your wine — it is about the quality of every moment. It is about waking up to a lion roaring in the dark, watching the sun sink behind the Okavango Delta from a private deck, or finding a chilled bottle of champagne waiting for you on a deserted Mozambique beach. It is the feeling that everything has been thought of, and that someone who genuinely cares is looking after every detail.
We work with a carefully curated network of the finest lodges, private reserves, and partner operators across the continent. Our relationships with these suppliers are built on years of trust, firsthand knowledge, and regular on-the-ground experience — which means we can offer our clients honest, insider guidance that no online search engine can replicate.
Why Book With Us
When you work with African Wildlife Plains, you work directly with the owner. There is no call centre, no junior agent, and no generic template itinerary. You get dedicated, personal attention from the very first enquiry through to the moment you return home. We are contactable, responsive, and deeply invested in the success of your journey.
We are proud members of SATSA (the Southern Africa Tourism Services Association), which means we operate to the highest standards of professionalism, financial protection, and ethical tourism practice.
