Inspired by the desire to escape routine and immerse oneself in the grandeur of Africa, Ker & Downey® Africa’s LuxVenture® is more than just a safari—it’s an epic, life-changing experience. The company has become renowned for its commitment to creating journeys that push the boundaries of travel, embracing the unexplored, and designing once-in-a-lifetime adventures for their clients.
Founded with a passion for the African continent and a drive for sustainable, responsible tourism, Ker & Downey Africa is a luxury travel company that expertly curates personalized trips that connect travelers to the people and landscapes of Africa in meaningful ways.

For those who embark on the 65-day journey, the itinerary spans seven countries—South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, and Zimbabwe—highlighting both iconic locations and hidden treasures. In South Africa, guests can experience Cape Town’s dynamic culture with a private helicopter tour to the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, followed by visits to world-renowned museums, galleries, and a guided ascent of Table Mountain. For thrill-seekers, cage diving with great white sharks off the coast provides an unforgettable adrenaline rush.
Travelers are invited to walk in the footsteps of Nelson Mandela with a private tour of Soweto Township in Johannesburg before venturing to the majestic Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, where the power and scale of the falls are best appreciated on an intimate, guided walking tour. Ker & Downey® Africa’s LuxVenture® package also includes exclusive safaris through Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Crater, an ancient volcanic caldera with one of the highest densities of wildlife on the planet, and a journey into Rwanda’s lush forests to observe gorillas in their natural habitat. Notable accommodations include The Silo Hotel in Cape Town, the famed Giraffe Manor in Nairobi, and Londolozi Tree Camp in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve, each offering unparalleled comfort and luxury amid Africa’s wilderness.
Ker & Downey® Africa’s team leaves no detail overlooked, ensuring each aspect of the journey is seamlessly executed. A dedicated WhatsApp group keeps the travelers in constant contact with their safari experts, allowing for real-time adjustments and constant support. This high level of personalization is reflected in the client testimonials, with one recent traveler describing the 65-day LuxVenture® as “first-class,” noting the company’s “truly unparalleled customer service” and its ability to “navigate through the most challenging African hiccups” to deliver a smooth and seamless adventure.
This extraordinary journey comes at a starting cost of $45,000 for a 12-day experience for two, with variations available based on seasonality and specific requirements. This investment grants travelers access to exclusive accommodations, expertly led tours, and life-changing encounters with Africa’s wildlife and cultures.
