Designed for families and private groups to explore Africa’s most iconic landscapes aboard the one-of-a-kind Emirates Executive A319 jet, every journey is entirely yours from where you go and when you go, to how long you stay. With privileged access and flawless delivery, we reveal Africa on your terms with the freedom, intimacy and ease only ROAR AFRICA can provide.
The journey you experienced before to Africa was only one chapter. Each time you return, the continent reveals something new: the Serengeti during the migration, Cape Town in autumn, the power of Victoria Falls. Places you thought you knew shift with season and perspective. Your first journey was an introduction; the next is a reacquaintance with a continent that doesn’t reveal itself all at once.
Wild Heart, Open Flame brings two forms of mastery together in the wild heart of Botswana’s Okavango Delta. Francis Mallmann has devoted his life to understanding fire: flame, smoke, iron, wood, salt, char, patience and time. Deborah Calmeyer has spent hers understanding Africa: its silences, its rhythms, its wild places and the precise decisions that turn access into meaning. Conceived and designed by ROAR AFRICA, this rare five-night journey at Xigera Safari Lodge invites guests to experience Francis cooking with fire in Africa, where the ancient instinct to gather first began. Surrounded by water, wildlife and the vast intelligence of the Delta, days unfold with game drives, mokoro excursions, long lunches and evenings around the flame, where smoke, salt, heat and time transform every meal.
