Camps and Lodges by Destination

The African safari lodges we include in our packages are scattered across the most enchanting corners of the African continent, from South Africa's storied Lowveld region to Botswana's wildlife-rich outposts. Explore the lodges in our collection via their incomparable wild locations.

The safari lodges found in the Greater Kruger National Park range from some of the most exclusive properties on the continent (Singita Lebombo and Sweni) to personal properties that offer fantastic value, like Hamiltons Tented Camp and Lukimbi Safari Lodge.

The Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve is famous for its award-winning lodges. Some truly extravagant safari palaces form part of the Sabi Sand contingent, but affordable (and high-quality) personal camps are also featured.

The safari camps in Botswana's Okavango Delta have all been constructed to leave only a minimal footprint. The focus is largely on eco-friendly building materials and structures that blend well with the surrounding environment.

The most sought-after lodges in the Chobe National Park enjoy prime riverfront locations, offering easy access to sunset cruises. Lodges in concessions should not be discounted, as the views over the floodplain are spectacular.

Etosha National Park's luxury safari lodges are on private concessions that share borders with the park, like Ongava and Onguma. Comfortable rest camp accommodation is available within the park itself.

The lodges in Sossusvlei are frequently lauded for their unique style and high quality of service and food. In the middle of nowhere, the stargazing opportunities are sublime, and most lodges boast an on-site expert.

The lodges we recommend in Mozambique are characteristically remote and luxurious. They range from hideaways on private islands in the Quirimbas archipelagos to outposts on leagues of near-virginal beaches.
