High-flyers wanted: discover Africa by private jet

From the savannas of Kenya to the coastlines of Madagascar: in October 2026, Destin Aircruises will take a select group on a breathtaking journey. Enjoy a glass of bubbly aboard a private jet and fly from highlight to highlight.

Destin Aircruises is for travelers who already have plenty of stamps in their passports, but are still looking for something special. Each trip is uniquely designed by a travel architect and is full of surprising combinations of destinations. Think: private jet, carefully selected hotels and lodges, and a program that makes everything perfect. The result? A way of traveling unlike any other. 

The experience begins at Schiphol Airport. No hassle with long lines or crowds, but a relaxed check-in in the VIP Centre, including a private security check. On October 27, 2026, you'll board a plane with nineteen fellow travelers to Nairobi; the starting point of an exclusive "Air Cruise" to the hidden gems of Africa and the Indian Ocean. From Nairobi you can fly with a private jet to the following destinations.

Angama Mara

Safari, beach and everything in between

Think of it as a luxurious expedition to the heart of the continent, with stops ranging from the famed Masai Mara to idyllic Benguerra Island. Overnight stays? In lodges and hotels that rank among the likes of &Beyond, Relais & Châteaux, and other iconic brands. Everything is taken care of: transfers, safaris, beach days, cruises; so all you have to do is relax and enjoy.
