OUR STORY

Remote – Luxury – Adventure

Luxury Safaris is a dedicated platform for wildlife enthusiasts, proudly part of Moon Group. With over a decade of delivering extraordinary travel experiences through Moon Tours, founder Trent Moon launched Luxury Safaris to specialise in these unique adventures. The venture builds on a lifetime of preparation and a family legacy of exploration dating back to the 1830s.

Trent’s lineage is steeped in adventure. His great-great-great-grandfather joined Charles Sturt’s 1844 expedition in search of an inland sea, while his great-great-grandfather played a key role in establishing the Darwin-to-Adelaide Overland Telegraph Line in the 1870s. The drive to explore even took his great-grandfather to Bolivia, where he lost his life in 1915 while defending his wolfram mine. Exploration and resilience are woven into the very fabric of this family legacy.

This spirit of discovery continues with Luxury Safaris, delivering remote, luxury and adventure experiences that take you far beyond the usual breaks. Adventure runs deep in the Moon family. Trent’s late grandfather explored the world in the 1920s, while his late uncle ventured into remote regions of Papua New Guinea and Africa alongside conservationist George Adamson. His parents, Ron and Viv Moon, are regarded as pioneers in Australian 4WD exploration, having spent nearly four decades charting guidebooks for the country’s most remote regions.

For Trent, this passion was clear from a young age. After leaving school, he headed to Africa as an assistant safari guide—a role that ignited his lifelong love of exploration. By 10, he was confidently navigating desert tracks, and by 18, he was recognised as Safari Club International’s Hunter of the Year, a testament to his deep understanding of wildlife and wilderness. Now, his focus has shifted to the ocean—specifically, sharing the unmatched experience of SUP surfing in remote, pristine locations.
At Luxury Safaris, we pour our energy into what we love most: guiding you to breathtaking African Safaris, and creating adventures that seamlessly blend luxury with authentic, off-the-grid experiences. From outstanding luxury accommodations and services, to immersive bush camping, every detail of our tours is designed to immerse you in nature and connect you with the Africa in unforgettable ways.
This is the lifeblood of Luxury Safaris—adventure inspired by history, driven by passion, and delivered with the kind of expertise that only generations of exploration can bring.
