The world’s most extraordinary escapes are often found far from the familiar. There is a different kind of luxury in going somewhere few others have been. A private island in the Indian Ocean, a wilderness conservancy in Kenya, or a camp on the Antarctic ice. These are places where distance is not a drawback, but part of the experience. Where reaching the destination becomes part of the story, and where privacy, space and a sense of discovery take centre stage.
Ol Jogi – Into the Heart of the Wild
Hidden within Kenya’s 58,000-acre Wildlife Conservancy in Laikipia, Ol Jogi offers an exceptionally private approach to the African safari. The conservancy’s vast landscape is home to an extraordinary variety of wildlife, while its private setting allows guests to experience the Kenyan wilderness away from the crowds of more established safari destinations. Beyond game drives, the experience extends into conservation, wildlife encounters and time spent simply immersed in the landscape. Here, the wilderness is not something to visit. It is where you stay.
Fregate – Your Private Island
Set in the turquoise waters of the Seychelles, Fregate is an untamed private granite island that brings together ecological luxury and exceptional privacy. With just 17 magnificent villas and estates nestled across lush tropical slopes, the island offers a secluded retreat surrounded by seven pristine beaches and abundant wildlife. Guests can snorkel among vibrant coral reefs, encounter more than 3,000 free-roaming Aldabra giant tortoises and enjoy candlelit dinners on the sand, with private chefs preparing freshly caught seafood under the stars. At Fregate, the experience is one of discovering a private island at your own pace, where nature and seclusion define every stay.
Octola Private Wilderness – At the Edge of the Arctic
In the remote wilderness of Finnish Lapland, Octola Private Wilderness offers an escape surrounded by forests, Arctic landscapes and untouched nature. The experience is rooted in the landscape, with opportunities to explore the wilderness by snowmobile, husky sled, snowshoe and reindeer sleigh, while the Northern Lights provide a spectacular natural display overhead. After a day outdoors, guests return to the warmth and privacy of a secluded lodge. At Octola, the Arctic is not a backdrop. It is the experience.
White Desert – The Ultimate Journey into Antartica
There are few places on Earth as remote as Antarctica, and White Desert offers an extraordinary way to experience it. Flying directly from Cape Town into the Antarctic interior, guests arrive at a landscape of vast ice fields, glaciers and dramatic natural formations. At Whichaway Camp, heated sleeping pods and considered hospitality provide a comfortable base in one of the world’s most extreme environments. The experience goes far beyond the camp, with opportunities to explore glaciers, venture towards the South Pole and encounter Emperor penguins in their natural habitat.
Finch Hattons – Deep into Tsavo
Set within the wilderness of Tsavo West National Park, Finch Hattons offers an intimate safari experience far removed from the pace of everyday life. Surrounded by natural springs, volcanic landscapes and the Chyulu Hills, the camp provides a private base for exploring one of Kenya’s most expansive wilderness areas. Guests can venture beyond traditional game drives with experiences ranging from night safaris and guided walks to exploring the Chyulu Hills and discovering the region’s rich conservation and cultural heritage. This is safari with a sense of space, silence and discovery.
