Unique Experiences
Exceptional journeys, curated beyond expectation.
For those who seek the extraordinary, our Unique Experiences go beyond the traditional safari. Capture rare wildlife through your lens on photographic safaris guided by seasoned pros, or indulge your senses on culinary journeys through Cape Town, where art, food, and culture meet diverge. Drift silently along Africa’s great rivers on luxury boat safaris, or track rare bird species in remote ecosystems with expert ornithologists. For a nostalgic touch of grandeur, cross the continent by rail aboard the iconic Rovos Rail or Blue Train, where golden landscapes unfold beyond velvet-draped windows.
These are unique and immersive journeys curated for curious travelers – rich in detail, layered with meaning, and crafted with Ker & Downey® Africa’s signature blend of luxury and imagination.
Highlights
- Bespoke photographic safaris with expert guidance
- Gourmet culinary journeys and wine tastings in Cape Town

Travelers say

"As a travel journalist who’s stayed at hundreds of hotels and worked with countless guides, I can confidently say Ker & Downey® Africa stands out. From handpicking exceptional properties to being available before 8am on a Saturday, their attention to detail and high-touch service made my South African journey seamless. I wouldn’t plan another trip to Africa without them."

"Thank you for the best honeymoon we could’ve imagined! We spent 5 nights on safari at luxury lodges, followed by 3 nights in Cape Town, and ended our journey on a stunning private nature reserve. Everything ran seamlessly, and the team stayed in touch with us throughout. Words can’t describe how incredible the experience was."
