XO Private - The Luxury Travel Collection
The finest online directory for the discerning traveller

White Desert’s private jet flies from Cape Town, South Africa and lands in one of the most remote regions on earth — Antarctica. For the next 10 days, guests will experience a luxury safari trip that is radically different from the traditional cruise ships. The safari camp sits above a vast 200ft ice cliff looking out across the amazing ice waves. It has an old world luxurious feel, but is high tech and environmentally conscious. The camp comprises of two main heated dome tents with a dining room, library and kitchen area, as well as five tents with comfortable wooden beds. With only ten guests, the guides are able to offer different activities each day. Whether its adrenalin–fueled kite–skiing, ice climbing and trekking, or relaxing with award–winning food and a glass of champagne, each day is always tailored to the individual.

The highlight of the adventure is flying to the 6,000 strong emperor penguin colony. Being able to witness one of the most remote and exciting natural feats on earth, this is the only way to come face to face with this extraordinary animal. The exciting and unusual activities leave a lasting memory of this untouched continent.
