Private Safaris with Les Brett
A rare kind of safari — tailor-made for a discerning few, hosted personally by Les Brett. Exclusive-use camps, private guiding, and days shaped entirely around the people travelling.
Not all safaris are the same.
Most safaris are packaged. Ours are not. Every journey is designed from a blank page — around your party, your interests and your dreams of Africa — and then quietly, meticulously produced.
We work with a small number of clients each year: families, principals, collectors, and travellers who have seen the rest of what's on offer and are looking for something more considered. The camps are private and often exclusive-use. The vehicles and guiding are yours alone. Les Brett is with you personally, from the first sundowner to the last.
This is safari at its most refined — the crème de la crème of the bush, delivered without spectacle, and impossible to reproduce from a brochure.
"These are not just your average but crafted journeys into the soul of Africa, delivering an unequaled bush experience personally guided by Les Brett"
Your safety, start to finish.
Mr Brett handles security with the utmost seriousness. From the moment your aircraft touches down, you are met personally at the airport and escorted every step of the way.
Les and his team remain with you throughout your entire journey in Africa — in the bush, at camp, and on the road — and you are returned safely to the airport for your departure. International guests can travel with complete confidence knowing that every detail is managed and every contingency has been considered.
Fine dining in the middle of the bush.
Dining on safari with Les is an experience of its own. Seafood flown in fresh from the coast — lobster, langoustines, oysters, mussels — served alongside slow-cooked game, wood-fired breads and South Africa's finest wines.
Long-table dinners beside the fire. Champagne breakfasts on a riverbank. Sundowners set up in a place you'll never find on a map. Every menu is personal, every setting private, and every detail arranged for you alone.
