From safaris in Africa to expeditions in Greenland, the world’s largest island; from wildlife discoveries to tribal encounters, VistaJet’s newly launched VistaJet-to-Wild private travel initiative creates indelible memories through a series of up-close and personal travel experiences with nature.
The VistaJet-to-Wild category is new to the Private World programme, the global program for private travel, a service for VistaJet Members — who include global business leaders, entrepreneurs, visionaries, founders, dignitaries, royals and families — to feel at home anywhere across all continents.
The pinnacle of luxury, it gives Members rare and unfettered access to VistaJet’s preferred partners, from the best suites in the most in demand hotels and resorts, to destinations that are out of the ordinary to ensure total privacy, such as estates, islands and yachts. VistaJet is making every globetrotters’ dream come true.
- Remote Marine Discoveries and Rare Tribal Encounters, Raja Ampat and West Papua (BOATS)
Explore one of the most biodiverse waters on earth and discover rarely encountered tribes with VistaJet, in partnership with Based On A True Story.
Set sail around this enchanting archipelago aboard a luxury phinisi, accompanied by Emmy award-winning underwater filmmaker, photographer and marine conservationist, Shawn Heinrichs, and discover some of the world’s most iconic marine species. You might encounter giant ocean manta rays (with wingspans of up to 18 feet), swim among a shiver of white-tip, blacktop and grey reef sharks, explore the world’s largest mangrove forest by kayak, and snorkel in a secreted lake with stingless jellyfish.
Then, venture deep into unmapped jungles in West Papua to meet a rarely encountered tribe, accompanied by a leading anthropologist to uncover the unique ways of life of these captivating people.
Best time to go: Between November and April.
Accommodation: A luxury Phinisi (lots of choices to pick from, but one of our favorites is Sililona).
Notes:
A world-class photographer and/or videographer will capture your journey, later presented in a stunning coffee-table book or your own documentary film. Philanthropic legacy projects can also be established in support of the local initiatives you will witness.
IMMERSE YOURSELF IN NATURE’S WILDLIFE CLASSROOM, SOUTH AFRICA AND ZIMBABWE
with Singita
From Singita Sweni Lodge — a riverine retreat offering close engagements with nature to Singita Pamushana Lodge which is located in the heart of the Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve , VistaJet Members will enjoy the complimentary Singita Mini Rangers’ Course — Singita’s uniquely designed children’s programme. Young members can enjoy a daily line-up of activities, fun and challenges, while learning about the natural world and opening their eyes to the magic of Africa’s wildlife.
