Since our safaris are custom designed we try to choose accommodation styles to suit the tastes of our guests. From the most luxurious spa type lodges for those who want to pamper themselves; to bedrolls on the ground for the more adventurous traveller! What remains constant throughout is that all the camps are of the very highest standards - it is only the experience and locations which vary! Choose from a luxury tented camp, mobile safari camp, luxury lodge or remote bush camp - or maybe a combination of them all! We recommend only the best and most suitable camps to enhance your safari.

 

Luxury Camping

Mobile tented camps offer you the perfect combination of comfort and luxury, whilst enjoying the old fashioned way of safari. Step back into the time when Hemmingway or Roosevelt went on safari. This is the true ‘Out of Africa’ experience - camping in the wilds of Africa, without another soul around. We recommend a camping experience with a difference. Accommodation in spacious tents with ensuite hot showers and bathrooms; excellent food and fine wines provided by a friendly crew; and same day laundry service! Evenings are often spent around the campfire where stories of the day's adventures are retold (and sometimes exaggerated depending on how many gin and tonics we've had!) before a sumptuous dinner under the stars. And later, fall asleep in the lap of luxury listening to the sounds of lions roaring in the distance, the call of a nightjar or the laugh of a hyena-the true music of Africa.

 

Camping under the stars

For the ultimate safari experience, spend a night in a lightweight camp with nothing between you and the open bush (apart from a mosquito net tent!) - a truly magical way to spend the night. Lying in bed at night, be mesmerized by the clarity of an African night sky and marvel at the splendour of distant galaxies and ancient constellations. Light weight camps can access truly remote areas off the beaten track.

 

Lodge Safaris

From The Cape to Cairo, there is a stunning variety of lodges available in Africa. We like to select smaller, more exclusive lodges - the very last word in luxury and comfort. Enjoy the activities offered by each lodge - from game drives to bush walking, from horse riding to canoeing - or simply relax by the pool letting the sounds and smells of Africa drift over you.
