From Private Jets to Exclusive Tee Times
For a select group of travellers, an African golf safari is an opportunity to experience the continent’s wonders with unparalleled exclusivity, privacy, and bespoke service. At Ascot Tours, we specialise in curating this ultimate VIP journey, where every detail is meticulously crafted to meet the highest standards of luxury and personal preference. If your vision involves seamless private travel, privileged access, and a level of service that anticipates your every need, then let me illuminate how we orchestrate these extraordinary VIP golf safaris. The concept of a VIP golf safari in Africa goes far beyond simply booking five-star hotels and first-class flights. It’s about creating a seamless bubble of discreet luxury, effortless travel, and access to experiences that are simply not available to the general public.
The Cornerstones of a VIP Golf Safari with Ascot Tours
Private Aviation
Forget commercial airline schedules and crowded airports. We arrange private jet travel for international arrivals and departures, as well as private charter flights (fixed-wing or helicopter) for seamless transfers between remote safari lodges, exclusive golf courses, and secluded coastal retreats. This approach means you travel on your terms, maximising your time for enjoyment and minimising transit hassle. Expect expedited customs and immigration, private lounge access, and personal tarmac transfers to your aircraft.
Exclusive Accommodation–Beyond the Best
We have access to a portfolio of stunning private villas, exclusive-use safari lodges, and presidential suites within top hotels. These offer ultimate privacy, dedicated staff (including private chefs and butlers), and often come with their private game viewing vehicles and guides. For larger groups or those seeking absolute seclusion, we can arrange buyouts of entire boutique lodges or safari camps.
Privileged Golf Access
Securing tee times at Africa’s most sought-after courses (like Leopard Creek or The Links at Fancourt) can be challenging. For our VIP clients, we leverage our top-tier connections to ensure access, often outside of regular booking windows or with special arrangements. Where feasible, we can explore opportunities for unique golfing experiences, such as a round with a local pro or a meet-and-greet with a renowned course designer. Imagine being whisked by helicopter directly from your lodge to the first tee of a remote or exclusive course – a truly unforgettable VIP experience we can arrange.
Bespoke Safari & Unique Experiences
Enjoy the undivided attention of Africa’s top safari guides in your own private, custom-outfitted game viewing vehicle, allowing for complete flexibility in your wildlife pursuits. We can arrange specialist experiences like private rhino tracking, behind-the-scenes conservation interactions, or photographic safaris led by renowned wildlife photographers. Private gallery viewings, dinners hosted by celebrated chefs, exclusive wine tastings with estate owners, or intimate performances by local musicians – all tailored to your interests.
Dedicated Concierge & Security Services
A dedicated Ascot Tours concierge can travel with you or be on call 24/7 to manage every aspect of your journey, make last-minute adjustments, and handle any special requests. For clients requiring it, we can arrange professional, discreet security services throughout their trip.
A Highly Personalised Consultation
The planning process for a VIP golf safari is intensely personal and collaborative. It involves: Understanding your precise requirements, brand preferences (for aviation, accommodation, etc.), dietary needs, security concerns, and any unique desires. Drawing upon our exclusive network of contacts across Africa to source the very best and most private options. Every logistical detail is triple-checked, from flight clearances to ensuring your favourite vintage is stocked at your villa.
