Exclusive Luxury Safari Lodges
The most exclusive lodges in Southeren and East Africa
All the safari lodges we feature offer a magical experience and the unforgettable chance to see the fascinating wildlife of Africa in it's natural environment.
Some places however are more than this - they offer a standard of food, accommodation, and service that is on a par with the best to be found anywhere in the world. Even without the wildlife they would still be world class destinations.
Why stay in a more expensive and luxurious lodge?
As these lodges are usually amongst the longest established safari operators they also tend to have prime locations in the centre of the game reserves.
This can improve the game-viewing experience, and almost as importantly it adds greatly to the feeling of being in the heart of Africa, surrounded by nature.
Luxurious en-suite bathrooms, air-conditioning, and private decks with plunge pools are the norm for the rooms on offer at these romantic lodges, and the standard of fixtures and fittings is of the highest order.
These establishments set the benchmark for safari operators across Africa - stay at one of these lodges, and you can rest assured that you are experiencing the ultimate luxury safari.
