A STORY ABOUT an African safari experience writes itself. The mind conjures images of sun-bathed savannahs and rugged rocky outcrops before one needs to put them to words. So do the distant, yet familiar dramas that unfold in these grand theatres: the ferocious lion chasing a languid zebra, the thunderous march of majestic elephants, the solemn anticipation moments before a leopard catches its prey.
The best luxury safari experiences are inadvertently set against Africa’s breathtaking landscapes, where you are immersed in defining moments of nature. But more so, they will bring you close to the heart of Africa through people whose sole purpose in life is to love and care for the land. People like Dereck and Beverly Joubert, an award-winning film-making duo, acclaimed for their in-depth wildlife documentaries and owners of Great Plains Conservation, a luxury and conservation-focused safari company.
Founded in 2006, Great Plains Conservation offers bespoke journeys across 18 private safari camps, nestled within the continent’s vast, untouched landscapes. These lodges, beacons of luxury amid the wild, offer guests a seamless blend of exploration and comfort, promising an intimate connection with Africa’s raw beauty through meticulously designed spaces. In these expansive private conservancies, one connects with nature in the most exclusive and profound ways possible.
