Considered
Boutique buyouts and scheduled charter where geography permits. The journey holds; the framing is quieter.
The Ascot Invitation
Three considered itineraries,
within five minutes.
The signature inquiry experience of Ascot Private. Ten considered questions. Three fully priced journeys. Delivered to your inbox before you finish your coffee.
How It Works
Four steps. No friction.
01
Choose your pillar
Golf, Safari, or Multi-Generational. The questions that follow are calibrated to the discipline you choose. Choose all three with Guide Me, and we route to the strongest signal.
02
Answer ten considered questions
Where in Africa, who is travelling, how long, when, at what pace, what draws you most, whom you'd like to meet. No drop-downs of two hundred items. No lifestyle quizzes. Each question is one we'd ask in person.
03
Receive three itineraries
Considered, Refined, and Signature — three fully priced journeys built around your answers, each stitched from properties we have visited and experts we know personally. Held for 72 hours.
04
Hold or refine
Hold the itinerary at the published rate while you decide. Or speak directly with a Senior Journey Designer to refine, recompose, or add the elements no questionnaire could anticipate.

The Three Tiers
Considered. Refined. Signature.
The reveal screen presents your journey at three levels of expression. The differences are real — properties, aviation, and encounters — never marketing.
Refined
As described — a calibrated mix of private and scheduled aviation, three to four expert encounters, properties at their best.
Signature
Most coveted exclusive-use, full private aviation, helicopter transfers where they save a day, five to seven expert encounters.
Frequently Asked
The questions worth answering.
- Why doesn't the website take payment?
- Because the journey is the product, and the journey is rarely simple. We hold the rate at the published price for 72 hours. Payment is handled directly with your Senior Journey Designer once the itinerary is finalised — including any refinements not captured by the composer.
- How accurate is the pricing on the reveal?
- Tariff-accurate to the day, drawn from live property and aviation rates. Considered, Refined, and Signature represent three real packages, not marketing tiers. The Refined column is what most parties book.
- What if my journey doesn't fit the composer?
- It happens — chartered yachts, four-country journeys, complete reserve buyouts, journeys longer than thirty days. For these, every screen of the composer carries a Senior Journey Designer escape. Or begin there directly.
- Can I see the journey before deciding?
- Yes. Every itinerary lists every property, every named expert, every aircraft, and every transfer. Click any of them to see the full page. Nothing is hidden behind 'enquire for details'.
- What does "Considered" mean — is it cheaper?
- It is roughly twenty to thirty per cent below Refined, but it is not stripped-down. It uses boutique buyouts and scheduled charter where geography allows. The journey holds; the framing is quieter.
- How is Signature different from Refined?
- More private aviation, helicopter transfers where they save a day, the most coveted exclusive-use properties, five to seven expert encounters instead of three to four. Roughly thirty to forty per cent above Refined.
- Will you store my answers?
- Yes — under your email. If you return, the composer remembers. Existing Ascot Tours past clients are recognised on the first visit and welcomed back accordingly.
- What about itineraries for children, gorillas, the Migration?
- The composer flags age-sensitive requests automatically — gorilla permits in Rwanda and Uganda have a fifteen-year minimum, infants under four cannot travel into gorilla habitat at all, the Migration's timing varies by year. We surface these constraints inline so the itinerary you receive is one we can actually book.
