What our guests say…
01 / 00

“This trip is for people who think they have seen everything…”

GSOE Guest, 2026

“This trip is for people who think they have seen everything… there is nothing on earth like this.”

“I expected to be impressed. I was utterly blown away.”

GSOE Guest, 2026

“We have never experienced anything like it.”

Robert Chavez―Executive Chairman, Hermès Americas

“Someone asked me a few weeks ago... 'What is the most amazing trip you have ever taken?' And it didn't take me a split second to say: 'It was the ROAR AFRICA trip.'”

“Africa has stolen my heart … and my words.”

Guest

“There were so many reasons to pause, to reflect - an overwhelming gratitude. By day, the glorious guides offered us their extraordinary Africa, from scorched savannahs to the Okavango oasis, from the majestic Mara to the verdant volcanoes. Lions dreamed beside us, leopards perched on branches above, hyenas watched with blood red faces. Hungry lion cubs orbited the termite mound while cheetah cubs mirrored their huntress. The mountain gorillas - the ultimate privilege - once is not enough.”

“Never in our wildest dreams...”

Guest

“Never in our wildest dreams did we think we would do something like this. To be able to see these many places in such a short amount of time, it definitely was The Greatest Safari on Earth℠.”

“We'll never forget it!”

Guest

“I must offer again my undying thanks and gratitude for such a wonderful life event as we just experienced with The Greatest Safari on Earth℠. We'll never forget it. It was everything and more than was said and advertised by everyone. We are great fans and admirers of ROAR AFRICA.”

Four extraordinary wildernesses.

One seamless journey across Africa.

The Greatest Safari on Earth℠ is a 12-day safari Africa trip aboard the A319 Emirates Executive Private Jet through four of Africa’s most iconic wildernesses, with just ten guests traveling through Zimbabwe, Botswana, Kenya and Rwanda. In 2027, the journey travels twice, from August 10–22 and August 25–September 6, moving from the thunder of Victoria Falls to the quiet waterways of the Okavango Delta, onto the Great Migration across Kenya’s plains and to the dense forests of Rwanda where a rare gorilla encounter awaits.

Each lodge has been chosen not simply for its beauty or comfort, but for its position within the landscape, the privacy it affords and the access it makes possible.

We begin at Matetsi Victoria Falls, where the Zambezi gathers force before plunging 354 feet into the gorge below. From here, the journey continues to Xigera Safari Lodge , where the Okavango Delta opens into a world of water, islands and wildlife. Glide quietly through its channels by mokoro and let the Delta set the pace. This is an African live safari at its most immediate, with each day responding to the water, wildlife and season.

In Kenya, the landscape opens onto the Maasai Mara. From Angama Mara, the Great Migration unfolds across the plains as vast herds of wildebeest and zebra move through the grasslands, followed by predators. Here, having time to watch matters as much as what you see. The final stage takes you to Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, where the open plains give way to the dense forests of the Virunga Mountains. At Singita Kwitonda, trek into the forest to spend time in the presence of mountain gorillas, close enough to hear them breathe.

These are not four separate stops. They have been carefully sequenced to unfold as one continuous journey, each transition anticipated long before departure, each experience deepening the next.

The greatest safari: beyond first class


The A319 Emirates Executive Private Jet gives us the freedom to move through Africa in a way conventional travel rarely allows. Private suites offer an extra-length lie-flat bed, three windows and the privacy to retreat between destinations, while a spa-style bathroom, lounge and dining area give you space to rest, gather and enjoy the journey. An experienced Emirates team brings the same discretion and attention to detail to the air, from beautifully prepared cuisine and carefully selected wines to quiet, attentive service.


For The Greatest Safari on Earth, this changes what is possible. In twelve days, four very different wildernesses become one considered journey, without giving precious hours to conventional connections. Sleep, dine, read, talk or simply watch Africa change beneath you.


Guided by an all-African team and shaped by ROAR AFRICA’s lifetime of experience, this is safari at its most considered: extraordinary access, exacting judgment and every detail decided before it ever becomes visible. More of your time belongs to Africa.

ASSOULINE

African Adventures: The Greatest Safari on Earth℠

The Greatest Safari on Earth℠ is the most complete expression of what an African journey can be: four of the continent’s most extraordinary wildernesses brought together through access, judgment and seamless design.

When Assouline set out to create its first safari book, it chose ROAR AFRICA and this journey as its inspiration. The result is a visual celebration of Africa’s wild beauty, cultures and extraordinary moments. Its pages offer a glimpse of what becomes possible when Africa is experienced with the depth, discernment and intimacy thatdefine every ROAR AFRICA journey.

How The Greatest Safari on Earth was born

“Transcending the everyday”

In nearly two decades of creating journeys across Africa, I have come to believe that the most extraordinary travel is not defined by how much we see, but by how deeply we experience it.

The Greatest Safari on Earth℠ was conceived with that belief at its heart. Each wilderness has been chosen with care, and each experience placed so that one landscape deepens the next.

I have spent my life developing an eye for what makes an experience exceptional. What feels effortless to our guests is the result of that judgment, trusted relationships and hundreds of decisions made long before departure. Our job is to make those choices, so you do not have to. Some journeys are taken. Others are entrusted. When it has to be perfect, the difference is in the decisions.

To hear more about the thinking behind the journey, I invite you to listen to my conversation with Emirates on its World Interviews podcast here, or to hear Robert Chavez, Executive Chairman of Hermès Americas, share his reflections here.

I would be honored to welcome you aboard. Africa has the power to restore perspective, awaken wonder and remind us of our place within something much larger than ourselves.

When it has to be perfect.
