True luxury travel doesn’t always mean a five-star hotel with white-gloved service; it can be found in the quiet vastness of a remote corner of the Serengeti or a private island off the coast of Madagascar. And what could be more luxurious than experiencing one of these adventures alongside Scott Simpson, owner of Exeter Safari Company, the world’s premier boutique safari company?
We know you value exclusivity and experience over excess and that you’d choose the privilege of space and connection with nature any day. A safari offers this in its purest form: private dinners under endless stars, the thrill of tracking wildlife on foot, and the knowledge that your journey supports conservation and communities.
Join Scott on either of these journeys for your chance to take part in something incomparable. Contact Poe Travel for the full itineraries and to secure your space.
