The Art of Seamless Travel
Designing Seamless Luxury Journeys in Africa
Imagine waking to the call of lions in the Okavango Delta and ending your day sipping champagne on the shores of Mozambique.
At Design Afrique, we believe luxury travel is not only about where you go—it’s about the effortless journey that connects each destination.
Our bespoke itineraries pair Africa’s untamed wilderness with its most idyllic coastlines, creating a rhythm of adventure and relaxation that feels both seamless and extraordinary.
Why Bush-to-Beach Journeys Define Ultra-Luxury Travel
For discerning travellers, indulgence lies in contrasts. Africa is one of the few places in the world where you can blend two worlds in a single journey: the raw thrill of a safari and the tranquil embrace of the sea.
After days of exhilarating game drives, helicopter flights, and close encounters with elephants, there is nothing more rejuvenating than a private island villa where the ocean is your front garden. The ability to transition effortlessly from bush to beach is what defines the pinnacle of luxury—moments of wild intensity balanced with serene calm.

Safari-to-Sea
Combinations
Botswana & Mozambique
Start with the untamed floodplains of Botswana’s Okavango Delta. Here, every sunrise brings the possibility of wild dog sightings, mokoro rides through lily-dotted lagoons, and champagne sundowners on mirrored waters. Then, fly directly to Mozambique’s Bazaruto or Benguerra Island, where turquoise seas and barefoot luxury villas invite you to slow down. This journey pairs the drama of the Delta with the serenity of the Indian Ocean.
South Africa & Mozambique
Pair a private safari in the Kruger National Park or Sabi Sand with Mozambique’s pristine coast. Spend your mornings tracking lions and elephants, and your evenings watching the sun sink into the sea from your private villa. It’s the ultimate bush-and-beach combination, bringing together South Africa’s wildlife richness with Mozambique’s barefoot elegance.
Kenya & Zanzibar
Witness the Great Migration across the Maasai Mara or explore Kenya’s lesser-known private conservancies before jetting off to Zanzibar. Here, spice-scented breezes, Swahili heritage, and coral-fringed beaches merge with luxury resorts that offer both cultural immersion and relaxation.
Seamlessness Is the True Luxury
What makes these journeys extraordinary is not simply the destinations—it’s the way they connect.
At Design Afrique, we remove the complexity of logistics, border crossings, and transfers, replacing them with private charters, VIP airport services, and curated travel flows.
Your role? Simply to immerse yourself in each moment, from the golden light of safari sunrises to the soft hush of ocean sunsets.
Design Afrique’s Signature Touch
Handpicked Stays: From intimate tented suites overlooking floodplains to oceanfront villas where the horizon is yours alone.
Private Access: Tailored excursions, exclusive guides, and private charters ensure every moment is yours.
Cultural Depth: Beyond landscapes, we curate authentic encounters—dining with Maasai elders, visiting spice plantations, or stargazing with San trackers.
Effortless Flow: Every detail, from your arrival to your final sunset, is orchestrated to feel natural, never rushed.
When to Go
Africa’s magic shifts with the seasons. The dry winter months (June to October) are ideal for safaris, when wildlife congregates around watering holes and the bush thins for easy sightings. Summer (November to March) brings calmer seas and clear waters for island escapes. With insider expertise, we design your journey to align with both wildlife spectacles and coastal perfection.
Design Your
Safari-to-Sea Escape
Every unforgettable journey begins with a conversation. Whether you dream of gorilla trekking followed by a Zanzibar retreat, or a classic Delta-to-coastline pairing, our role is to design a journey that is as unique as your story.
At Design Afrique, luxury is not only where you stay—it’s how seamlessly your journey unfolds. From safari to sea, Africa awaits.
