Core offering

Rothschild Safaris designs and arranges bespoke luxury safari journeys across Africa and select global destinations. Every itinerary is individually crafted through a personal consultation with a dedicated travel designer, covering accommodations, private guiding, transfers, activities, and on-ground logistics. The company sells no pre-packaged tours; each safari is custom-priced after understanding the client's vision, travel dates, party size, and priority experiences.

Product overview

Rothschild Safaris is a bespoke luxury safari company that has operated since 1998, specializing in tailor-made African safari experiences. The company's core offering is its personalized journey design service, which begins with a private conversation to understand each traveler's vision. The product portfolio consists of six distinct travel styles (Private Travel, Wildlife Immersion, Adventure Travel, Slow Travel, Family Travel, and Milestones & Celebrations) that serve as inspiration categories. The company offers curated safari itineraries ranging from 5 to 20 days across African destinations including Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Zambia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Mozambique, and Mauritius, plus extension options to Zanzibar and the Seychelles. Additionally, Rothschild Beyond extends the brand globally beyond Africa. All offerings emphasize bespoke, non-templated experiences with luxury accommodations, expert guides, and seamless logistics.
