# Elementa Africa

> Elementa Africa designs ultra-private, invitation-only luxury journeys across Southern Africa and the Indian Ocean. Founded by career naturalists with more than two decades of professional guiding, the company operates a four-country wellness safari circuit (Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Malawi) built around the four elements — Soil, Water, Fire, Wind — and the Salt & Culture journey, a ten-night private island itinerary connecting Benguerra Island (Mozambique) with Nosy Ankao (Madagascar) by private aircraft. Every journey is private, by invitation, for no more than eight guests.
