Luxury Safari Camps

We are thrilled to now be offering Purple Ski guests the opportunity to stay in a luxury safari camp in one of the most remote, pristine wildernesses on earth.

Our trusted partners Dereck and Beverly Joubert have been offering extraordinary safari experiences in Kenya, Botswana, and Zimbabwe for over 20 years. Award-winning filmmakers and National Geographic photographers, they created Great Plains Conservation to share their passion for the African landscapes and wildlife with their guests, while supporting local conservation and community development programmes through their charity, the Great Plains Foundation.

Choose from their small and special collection of luxury camps and lodges, all located in private concessions or conservancies and comprising an average of just five luxury tents or suites. With an unmatched density of wildlife, a sense of seclusion that soothes the soul, vast star-filled skies, and a breathtaking variety of landscapes, this is simply unlike anywhere else you will ever visit.

That’s not to say you’re far from the comforts and luxury you expect from a Purple Ski holiday. From the moment you touch down in Africa, you’ll be greeted at the airport, whisked to the camp by plane, and guided through unique encounters with iconic wildlife. The attentive, friendly staff will take care of your every need, whether it’s a gourmet meal or simply an ice-cold glass of champagne as you take in one of those infamous African sunsets.

Zimbabwe

Our luxury safari camps in Zimbabwe are blessed with staggering views of this beautiful country. Whether you opt for a riverside location on the banks of the Zambezi – where canoe safaris offer the chance to see elephants and hippos in their natural habitats – or a private thatched villa near the thundering Victoria Falls, these are landscapes of cinematic proportions.

 

Tembo Plains

This is arguably the most luxurious safari camp in the whole of Zimbabwe, part of the Great Plains Réserve Collection and the only Relais & Châteaux camp in the country. Nestled on the forest-fringed banks of the Zambezi river, with panoramic views across the water to the hills rising in the distance, the Tembo Plains Camp offers a seamless blend of unmatched comfort, timeless design, and a remote, wild feel.
