Jacada specialises in crafting bespoke luxury safaris to Africa. Our experts have decades of combined experience, and have all lived and travelled extensively across the continent. We’ve tracked chimps in Mahale Mountains National Park, spent months following the Great Migration, stayed at the most incredible camps, sipped South Africa’s finest Chenin Blanc and summited Mount Kenya (almost more times than we can count). We’re on the ground regularly to visit new properties, review exclusive activities and follow meaningful conservation initiatives.
Our experience allows us to design an itinerary that’s perfect for you, combining the best places to stay with tours led by the most knowledgeable and engaging local guides.
No two journeys planned with Jacada are alike. Set off on an African safari in Botswana, Kenya, South Africa, Rwanda, Tanzania, Namibia, Mozambique, Uganda, Zambia or Zimbabwe, head for the white-sand beaches and dive sites of Mauritius, the Seychelles and Zanzibar, or combine ancient medinas with rugged mountains in Morocco.
Whatever you want your trip to include, we’ll create a bespoke journey just for you. We look after all the details so you can enjoy the wildlife, landscapes and warm authenticity of Africa in the knowledge that everything else is being taken care of. We’ll recommend the best lodges, camps and hotels, organise private tours and experiences, and arrange local guides who share your passions and interests.
As well as benefiting from the expertise of our travel designers, you’ll have the support of a personal concierge based in Africa. They’re on hand to share true local insight and help you with everything from deciding what to pack to making restaurant reservations.
