When most people think about Africa they’re thinking about Kenya. The country's rich wildlife, wide open plains, lone acacia trees, and rich traditional cultures make it the undisputed origin of the modern safari. Luxury safaris in Kenya feature early morning and afternoon off-road game drives, sunset drinks, gourmet dinners, hot air ballooning and nighttime activities like stargazing and night drives, offering a mix of wildlife viewing and relaxation. Itinerary Inspiration

With the largest population of elephants in all of Africa, Botswana is a game viewer’s dream.  Botswana’s government prioritizes sustainable travel. This makes luxury safaris in the country some of the most expensive but least crowded and most exclusive on the continent.  Fly above the palm-fringed oasis of the Okavango Delta, safari by boat, mokoro, walking, or traditional game drives and see some of the world’s most unique wildlife up close.

Known as “the land of a thousand hills,” Rwanda is a country teaming with life. While a Rwanda safari has traditionally not been thought of as a classic Big 5 safari, its four national parks are inhabited by an abundance of animals and birdlife. However, it’s the gorilla trekking that makes this a totally unique destination in Africa. Rwanda offers world-class service and accommodation standards, with the accompanying price tag. Itinerary Inspiration

Tanzania is a beautiful country of diverse landscapes ranging from imposing volcanic peaks to endless stretches of open plains to white sand beaches.  From top to bottom and east to west, Tanzania offers an authentic East African safari experience:   Big Five sightings, luxurious tented safari camps, and rich cultural encounters.

South Africa

South Africa offers something for everybody. Whether it’s cosmopolitan Capetown,  the winelands, or the country’s natural beauty, this luxurious package is the perfect escape. With so much to see and do, a South African safari is an experience that appeals to a range of people.  Itinerary Inspiration

Namibia is a land of contrasts—where sand dunes tumble into the ocean, dotted by mysterious shipwrecks, highlighted by vivid oranges and blues.  The country is a mix of striking landscapes, unmatched star-gazing, prehistoric plants and unique desert-adapted animals. Ancient cultures continue their age-old traditions, alongside modern cities and quirky towns. Itinerary Inspiration

Why Travel with US?

icon_6@3x

​Our travel changes lives

We are first and foremost travelers who love exploring new places and pushing ourselves a little out of our comfort zones to grow and see the world differently. Travel changes us each time and we believe in creating trips that have that same lasting effect on you.

icon_5@3x

Every journey is unique

For that reason, we understand the importance of curating a trip as unique as you. No two itineraries are ever identical because everyone’s interests, comfort levels and senses of adventure are different.

icon_4@3x

We are a team

Perhaps because we were founded by a mother-daughter team, we care about each other and work together like a family. This means you have the brain trust of the entire company collaborating on your trip instead of an individual.

icon_3@3x

We have been there

We place a premium on education. Every year, our team spends a combined 9+ months on the ground researching new camps, tracking wildlife trends, and identifying the best guides for your safari.

icon_2@3x

We care about you

You’ll never find us bragging about the number of people we send to Africa each year or referring to clients in terms of ‘volume or buying power’. We really enjoy getting to know our travelers (it takes time to plan a safari, after all) and build relationships that span decades and many repeat trips.

icon@3x

We love a bargain too

We translate our relationships on the ground, knowledge across Africa, and practicality into a trip that offers exceptional value for your money and fun surprise ‘value adds’ along the way. If there is a “special” deal on a property, we will find it for you!

What our Customers Say

In a word, Extraordinary Journeys made our dreams come true. They planned everything exactly the way we wanted and stayed within our budget.The accommodations they arranged for us were perfect and exactly as promised or better. They provided us with all kinds of useful information and tips prior to our trip so we knew exactly what to expect. They were always quick to respond to any questions we had. I could not be happier with the whole experience. We had a once in a lifetime trip for our 25th anniversary and checked this off our bucket list. I recommend this company to anyone. Absolutely!!!!

Jenna was AMAZING! Start to finish I can not say enough abut just how happy we were with her and this company. Was absolutely the trip of lifetime for myself, my family and our friends that snuck their way into this trip late in the planning AND it also turned out to be life altering as well for all of us. We cannot WAIT to do another trip with her and her team! Thank you for your amazing help with our trip Jenna (and Gena)!

We have a member of our team available to you 24/7 during your travel.

A mother and daughter run company

Years of living and working in Africa have instilled founders Marcia and Elizabeth Gordon with a sure sense of what makes a memorable safari, whether it be in Asia, Australia, South America or Africa. It is a sensibility that is shared by our team, most of whom have traveled extensively and lived overseas. We truly believe that you can “have it all” – comfort, adventure and style.

We work with small luxury properties in fabulous, remote locations that not only have great guiding and game-viewing but are eco-conscious and have close and supportive relationships with nearby communities. Our priority is to give back and be a positive presence in the communities in which we are involved.

We Joined Bentley on Extraordinary Journeys Through the Land of the Long White Cloud

I n a world that turns shoulder to tradition in favour of gaudiness and fast fashion, Bentley Motors is reminding us of what true luxury really means. You might call it ‘quiet luxury’ but that’s merely a new term invented to describe a space this brand has occupied since it was founded in 1919.

Time-honoured traditions with plenty of handcrafting are something Bentley lives by, however, a new experience is being created for the brand’s top clients, bringing a luxury journey beyond car ownership.

Called ‘Extraordinary Journeys’, these carefully curated travel experiences offer exclusive access to the world’s most inspirational locations, luxury accommodations, chefs, cuisine, and of course, Bentley vehicles. Typically offered to the top of the top, I was lucky enough to spend a few days on an augmented version of the exclusive event in Queenstown, New Zealand, and I’m here to explain everything there is to know about these pinch-yourself experiences from behind the scenes.

Table of contents

Day 1 – the lindis, day 2 – drive to blanket bay, day 3 – helicopter and remote whisky bar, day 4 – home time.

RELATED : 2023 Bentley Continental GT and GTC S Unveiled .

Our Extraordinary Journey starts with a drive from Queenstown Airport to The Lindis in the stunning Ahuriri Valley. To describe this place in words is difficult. Breathtaking, stunning, and dramatic all come to mind, and even they don’t capture what I’m seeing from my room.

A backdrop of wetlands, river, tussock, and then the rugged mountains snowcapped like a postcard rising to the sky. The accommodation feels remote but intimate with staff that know your name and unmatched attention to detail.

To answer the burning question, rooms cost upwards of AUD$3,000 per night if you’re lucky enough to find an open date in the calendar. My Master Suite was closer to AUD$4,000 per night and included:

  • Daily pre-dinner drinks & canapes
  • Daily multi-course dinner
  • Daily light lunch or packed lunch
  • Daily breakfast
  • Self-guided activities

With some suites booked out from now until late February 2024, exclusivity remains a key aspect of Bentley Extraordinary Journeys.

I spent most of the morning staring out of my window, relaxing with a coffee. We had a big day of driving ahead and I’d be cruising along some of New Zealand’s best driving roads in Bentley’s new line-up, including the all-new Bentley Bentayga EWB Azure, Continental GT S, and Flying Spur Azure.

There were a few of my old friends missing, with the W12 Speed models I enjoyed at ‘The Bend’ racetrack in Adelaide notably absent for this drive , but it was a chance to drive some of the latest vehicles that bring luxury all the way to the forefront as the brand moves to become fully carbon-neutral by 2030.

Of course, any time spent behind the wheel of a Bentley is something you never take for granted and as we entered the scenic Lindis Pass, the driving portion of our Extraordinary Journey began.

I started in the Bentayga S with its twin-turbocharged 4.0 litre V8 engine and a factory-fitted sports exhaust that emits a brutish sound in Sports mode. Power is 542 bhp (550 PS) with 770 Nm of torque, and it moves like a Bentley should with the right amount of aural theatre behind it. On paper, acceleration from 0-100km/h takes 4.5 seconds before it reaches a top speed of 290 km/h.

This is a sporty vehicle, as noted when I drove it on the track in Adelaide, but it is unbelievably comfortable when you turn the dial out of ‘Bentley mode’ and into ‘Comfort’. To prove this we left Lindis Lodge on a dirt road, completely covering the cars in dust and creating some seriously cool imagery in the process.

Given the chance, I kept reaching for the keys to the Bentley Continental GT S. It’s the coupe sibling to the Bentayga S with the same 542 bhp (550 PS) and 770 Nm of torque from the twin-turbocharged 4.0 litre V8 engine, but the sound levels seem to be raised once again in all the right ways.

It might not attract the sales figures of a luxury SUV like the Bentayga, but the Continental remains the definitive Bentley in my eyes. The nameplate and history span across genres from early luxury vehicles to endurance racing wins in Australia and it best answers the question “What is the best way to get across the country in luxury and speed?” With a sleek, elegant look about it.

Truth be told, there’s no car I’d rather be behind the wheel of as we cruise through the Crown Range – New Zealand’s highest road – on our way to the overnight accommodation at Blanket Bay near Glenorchy.

Blanket Bay offers uber-luxurious alpine-lodge-style accommodation on the Dart River and served as our base for the next two nights. From check-in to check-out, the experience welcomed 360 degrees of snow-capped mountain ranges, outstanding food, beverage options, and world-class chalets .

It also served as a base for our activities on Day 3, which included a jet boat ride up the river and a private helicopter flight through the mountains to Milford Sound, over rainforests, out to the rugged West Coast, onto a glacier, and then out to a historic gold miners whisky bar, accessible by helicopter only.

Here would be the last major event of our extraordinary journey, tasting the best of The Macallan, including the 18-year-old, Harmony Collection , and finally, the Macallan ‘M’ Decanter.

As I sat in my chalet and watched the sun-rise over the Dart River and the Alps in the background it was a chance to look back at the last three days of the trip.

Bentley calls these trips ‘Extraordinary Journeys’, but after jumping off the Dart River Jet Boat into a private helicopter for a 3-hour trip to some of the most stunning places on the South Island of New Zealand, I think they’re somehow underselling themselves. What we’re talking about are once-in-a-lifetime activities that you can only access through Bentley and this program.

Speaking to the other guests, one theme was consistent. It felt like we’d be on this trip for a week, with so many activities, scenes to point your camera at, and memories that would last a lifetime. Sometimes the stars align, and on this trip, everything just worked, but that’s exactly how Bentley intended. This was an Extraordinary Journey I’ll remember forever.

Five inspiring days. Four luxurious nights. After an exclusive stay at Ilse Crawford-designed Ett Hem (literally ‘at home’), guests drove in Bentleys to enjoy a locally-produced lunch with breath-taking views at sustainable greenhouse, Naturehouse. They then enjoyed dinner cooked over fire at the Trakt Forest Hotel, with a morning forest walk, guided by the hotel’s welcoming owners. After lunch at the Wanås Hotel and exploring the inspiring Sculpture Park, guests were treated to a unique tour of the Bjarke Ingels Group architectural practice in Copenhagen. On the last day guests could wind down in Nimb’s hammam spa before returning home with wonderful memories, and new friends made along the journey.

Six magnificent days, five remarkable nights on New Zealand’s beautiful South Island. Starting at the luxurious Otahuna Lodge, guests were immersed in its celebrated food and wine programme with a unique cooking demonstration. Guests then journeyed in Bentleys through the Ahuiriri Valley, with views of the soaring Southern Alps and Lake Tekapo, ending at Lindis Lodge for a magical evening of stargazing. The last stop: Blanket Bay at Glenorchy, one of the finest alpine lodges in the world, where guests enjoyed a helicopter excursion like no other through the majestic Milford Sound, alighting at snow-capped glaciers, blue lagoons, and a historic gold miner whiskey bar. This incredible trip and the memories shared between the guests are ones which will no doubt last a lifetime.

Ticket prices for the Trans-Siberian Railway also depend on the current ruble exchange rate.

Is the Trans-Siberian Railway expensive?

Before starting on your Trans-Siberian Railway adventure you naturally want to know what the entire trip will cost. Although this sounds like a simple question, it is pretty difficult to answer. The Trans-Siberian Railway price of travel depends on the following factors:

  • Which travel class do I want to use? The price for a first class ticket is about three times the price of a 3rd class ticket
  • Am I willing to buy the tickets myself and assume responsibility for the organisation of the trip?
  • How many stopovers do I want to make? The more breaks, the higher the total price.
  • What sort of accommodation do I want? Will it be a luxury hotel or will a hostel dormitory be sufficient?
  • What tours and excursions would I like to go on?
  • What is the current exchange rate for rubles?

Basically, everything from a luxury to a budget holiday is available. If you buy yourself a 3rd Class nonstop ticket at the counter, a few hundred Euros will cover the price. All you will experience is a week on the Trans-Siberian train and will see nothing of the cities on the way. There is, however, any amount of room for upward expansion. Everyone makes different choices about which aspects they are willing to spend money on. I personally prefer to save money on accommodation and railcar class, visit as many cities and do as many trips as possible. To enable better classification of your travel expenses I have contrasted two typical traveler types. In the third column you can calculate the total cost of your own journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Please keep in mind that these are only rough estimations and not exact prices.

The all-in costs seem fairly high at first. However, they cover everything and it is quite a long journey taking four weeks. Many people forget to consider that when looking at the list. We should also deduct the running costs for food and leisure at home. I think most visitors to this page will classify themselves somewhere between the two categories, that is around the € 2,000 – € 2,500 range. When comparing these prices with other travel packages, you get the impression that it is hardly worthwhile travelling individually on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Please keep in mind that most packages last no more than 14 days and you are herded like cattle through the most beautiful locations.

If you spend less time on the Trans-Siberian Railway you will, of course, pay less. I chose this particular travel length because I prefer not to do things by halves. If you fulfill your dream of travelling on the Trans-Siberian Railway, enjoy it and don’t rush things. But it’s up to you, of course. Try playing around with the form a bit to find the appropriate price for your trip.
