Dear Travel Friends,

It is with great pleasure that we present to you an extraordinary journey around Africa by private jet in February of 2020. 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 Victoria Falls, Sesriem Canyon, and the dunes of the ancient Namibian desert. And 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 a cruise at the end of the day.

We have partnered with andBeyond to provide luxurious suite accommodations throughout. With a similar company ethos that is devoted to caring for the land, wildlife, and people, it seems only natural that we would choose andBeyond to help create an exclusive and unforgettable journey. Enjoy views from your private deck or take a dip in your private pool. Each place will hold a special place in your heart and will leave indelible memories for years to come.

While aloft in 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 guests to join us.

With best traveling wishes,

Heidi Lakani

Your Executive Private Jet, which normally seats up to 40 passengers, has been custom-fitted for up to 15 travelers with luxurious leather club seats, providing you with the highest standards of comfort. These Jets are intimate in scale, with posh interiors typically reserved for heads of state, royalty and, of course, Lakani guests.

Your Executive Private Jet takes you directly to smaller airports that are closer to our chosen destinations, allowing for flexibility and creativity in itinerary design. With the exception of a few short flights from Windhoek to Sossusvlei, from Kilimanjaro to the Serengti and from Sabi Sands to Johannesburg, where airstrips necessitate a light aircraft charter, all flights are on your Executive Private Jet. Experience flying from and to private airport terminals where security clearance is faster. Enjoy time in the air that is never too long; the average flight time is three hours or less.

These are the advantages that make private jet travel the ultimate in luxury vacations. Your cabin attendants are gracious, enthusiastic and will anticipate all of your in-flight needs. You also have the peace of mind that comes with knowing that the chartered aircraft operates at the highest standards of safety and security. The camaraderie of fellow travelers, professional tour managers, hand-selected flight crew, vintage wines, champagnes and top cuisine combine to make your Lakani Private Jet Tour memorable and rewarding.
