Beyond Africa
The 2026 Private Safari Collection
Tailor-made journeys across Cape Town, Kruger, the Okavango, the Serengeti, the Masai Mara, Victoria Falls and beyond.
A foreword, in George’s own voice
Welcome. I’m George, and it’s my privilege to be your host through the Beyond Africa collection. What you’re holding isn’t a brochure — it’s a book, and I’d love for you to read it slowly.
Turn each page and you’ll travel with us: from the leopards of the Sabi Sand to the thundering plains of the Serengeti, from the still waterways of the Okavango to the misted mountains where the gorillas live.
Every lodge in these pages, we’ve slept in ourselves. Every guide, we know by name. Nothing here is off a shelf — each journey is built from a blank page, around you.
So take your time. Let the pictures move you, let the seasons guide you, and when a journey speaks to your heart, reach for us. We’ll be right here, ready to plan the Africa you’ve always dreamed of.
— George, welcoming you to Beyond Africa
A private Africa, planned around you
Beyond Africa is a private touring company based in Cape Town. We plan tailor-made safaris and journeys across the finest corners of the continent — from the leopards of the Sabi Sand and the plains of the Serengeti to the waterways of the Okavango and the mountain gorillas of Rwanda and Uganda.
Every trip is built from a blank page. You tell us your dates, your pace and what you most want to see; we handle the lodges, the flights, the guides and every transfer in between. One team, one point of contact, start to finish.
Private & tailor-made
Your own guide, vehicle and itinerary — never a fixed group.
Hand-picked lodges
Camps and lodges we know personally, matched to your style and budget.
On-the-ground support
A real team a WhatsApp away, before you travel and throughout your trip.
“When the sun sinks low and the bush turns to gold, you understand why we never left.”
— George, your hostWhen to go
Africa rewards travellers all year. The trick is matching the season to what you most want to see. As a rule, the dry winter months give the best big-game viewing — thinning bush and shrinking waterholes draw animals into the open.
Prime game viewing across Southern Africa. Cool mornings, sunny days, little rain. Ideal for a first safari.
Hot and dramatic, with excellent predator sightings before the rains. Quieter camps and lower rates.
Lush scenery, newborn animals and superb birding. Short afternoon showers. Great value, fewer vehicles.
River crossings peak in the Masai Mara. Calving on the Serengeti plains runs late January to February.
Shoulder months — April and November — give near-dry-season wildlife at low-season prices. We hold quiet-camp allocations our walk-up guests rarely find.
