Private Houses

Just you, your family or your group, and the wilderness on your doorstep. Private houses in the bush come with their own staff, their own vehicles and your own dedicated guide — meaning your days are entirely your own, shaped around what you want to do and when you want to do it. Early morning game drive or a slow breakfast on the veranda. A long lunch in the shade followed by an afternoon walk. The choice is entirely yours. For families travelling with children, for groups of friends celebrating something special, or simply for those who value privacy and space above all else, a private house offers something that a conventional safari camp cannot — the feeling of truly living in the African bush, however briefly, rather than just passing through it. It is one of the most relaxed, intimate and quietly luxurious ways to experience Africa, and a style of travel we love recommending at Mangwara.
