As the name suggests, this is the ultimate luxury safari. Expect to be impressed by the accommodation, which is opulent and exquisitely designed; the guides, who are knowledgeable; and the activities, which are as flexible as you would like them to be.

Depending on where you are staying, activities are generally based on game drives and some walking safaris.
