Lodge Safaris

Lodge Safaris

Characterful camps in the heart of the wild, planned around you.

Stay In The Wild

Safari Camps Chosen With Care

A lodge safari gives you a proper bed, good food and a guide at your door each morning, in places where wildlife walks right past camp. We work with a selected group of camps across Botswana and Zimbabwe and match each stay to the season, your pace and your budget.

We favour longer stays in fewer camps, so you spend more time watching wildlife and less time packing.

Your Tent Or Suite

Expect spacious safari tents or suites with proper beds, private bathrooms and a view. Styles range from classic canvas to more refined suites, and we help you choose the one that suits your trip.

Dining

Meals Around The Camp

Meals are a highlight of any camp stay: breakfast before the morning drive, lunch in the shade, and dinner under the stars. Dietary needs are shared with the camp ahead of arrival.

Downtime

Time To Slow Down

Between game drives, camps invite you to rest: a pool for the heat of midday, a quiet deck, or time to simply watch the bush. It is part of what makes a lodge safari restful as well as exciting.

A Typical Day

How A Lodge Day Flows

Morning

Early Start

Coffee and a light breakfast, then a morning game drive or walk when the wildlife is most active.

Midday

Rest And Refuel

Back to camp for lunch, shade and time by the pool while the heat peaks.

Evening

Sundowners And Dinner

An afternoon drive ending with a sundowner, then dinner and stories around the fire.

Why Choose A Lodge

Comfort Without Losing The Wild

Comfort At The End Of The Day

Come back from a drive to a proper bed, a hot shower and a good meal, without giving up the closeness to nature.
