Luxury Camps
“The gladdest moment in human life is the departure on a distant journey into unknown lands.”— Sir Richard Francis Burton

While camp is moving to its next destination, we often use beautiful boutique lodges or ‘bush homes’ as stepping stones on our safaris. Most are built on privately owned ranches or conservancies, allowing incredible game-viewing on horseback, camel, mountain bike or quad-bike — in magical areas that rarely see other visitors.
As most lodges are small, we usually take them over completely: their pools, tennis courts, gyms and spas become yours alone. On the Indian Ocean coast, our guides have access to charming family villas with their own watersports facilities and access to professional scuba diving and fishing.
Private bush properties also offer an authentic opportunity to visit indigenous communities living much as their ancestors did — touring manyattas and cattle bomas to learn the age-old customs and wild knowledge that sustain some of the hardiest people on Earth.
