Wild Glamping Knuckles

Wild Glamping Knuckles is nestled amongst the grasslands and rugged mountains in Rangala. Up in the hills over looking the vast and verdant greenery sits your own luxury tent, complete with an en suite and rain shower. Wake up in a beautiful queen-sized bed to the misty mountains ahead of you, and dine in the outdoor restaurant where the cool evening breeze meets the campfire and you can unwind after a days exploring. Built so as to impact the environment as little as possible, this retreat uses solar power to light all the tents and heat all the water. So set off into Knuckles Range and know that your stay won’t compromise the pure and pristine wilderness under your feet.

Galapagos Safari Camp

The Galapagos archipelago is one of very few places on the planet to be relatively untouched by man. With only 3 per cent of their landmass inhabited, the islands support a number of remarkable ecosystems, as well as being home to marine reserves. Galapagos Safari Camp provides a new way to experience the Galapagos, either in addition to a cruise or as a unique destination in itself. The eco-luxury tented camp follows the African safari tradition in which guests enjoy total comfort under canvas while experiencing nature in its purest form.

Gondwana Game Reserve

Chisa Busanga Camp

Chisa Busanga Camp lies within the northern part of Kafue National Park, where travellers can view the sweeping grasslands and wetlands of the Busanga Plains. The camp consists of four ‘nests’, woven elevated structures that mimic the nests of the weaver bird, often seen in trees in the surrounding area. The nests are built on legs, allowing stunning views of the plains and passing herds of wildlife, with lantern-lit stairs leading up to them (one of the nests also has a lift). Inside, the nests are fitted with wooden decks, with canvas to keep guests comfortable no matter the weather, and Chisa Busanga Camp is fully powered by solar, as are the camp’s safari vehicles which make no noise while exploring the wilderness of the Kafue National Park, preventing wildlife from being startled while also keeping carbon emissions to a minimum.

Mandrare River Camp

Mandrare River Camp rests in the south of Madagascar, nestled amongst the spiny forests held sacred by the Antandroy Tribe. The camp overlooks a beautiful and diverse landscape, carved through by the Mandrare River. Due to the lack of predator species in this part of the world, guests can enjoy incredible wildlife viewing and birdwatching, and get up close to the wildlife of the forest such as Madagascar’s famous ring-tailed lemurs. Mandrare River Camp features seven spacious tented suites with en-suite facilities and a large outdoor terrace for admiring the sweeping views in a tranquil and secluded setting.

Shawa Luangwa Camp

Shawa Luangwa Camp rests on the eastern bank of the Luangwa River, overlooking the sweeping landscape of the South Luangwa National Park. Here, guests can cross the tranquil river waters on a boat or pontoon, explore the wilderness on exciting game drives and immerse themselves in the beauty of the pristine natural sanctuary. This seasonal camp was inspired by Jacob Shawa, an incredible guide who grew up in the Luangwa Valley and shares a passion for the wildlife and scenery that exists here.
Open from April 15th until November 15th, Shawa Luangwa consists of five luxurious tented rooms with twin and double beds, and two of the tents can be converted into a spacious family suite. Guests can take advantage of the different morning and evening activities and spend the time in between relaxing in the soothing plunge pool, or listening to the gentle melodies of South Luangwa’s many different bird species.

Camp Xakanaxa

Camp Xakanaxa is located on the banks of the Khwai River of the Xakanaxa Lagoon, in the heart of the Moremi Game Reserve. It offers guests an authentic, year round Okavango Delta land and water safari experience. The camp accommodates twenty four guests in twelve spacious all canvas, classic Meru style luxury safari tents, with en suite showers and hand basins. Situated around the fringe of the lagoon, every tent has a private viewing deck with comfortable loungers. The stylish main buildings extend over the Khwai River and are set on raised platforms to maximise the views over the surrounding lagoons and islands. The elegant lounge and dining rooms, built of local timber, reed and thatch, feature a small library, expansive sundeck, plunge pool and sala with day bed.

Duba Plains Camp

The newly rebuilt Duba Plains Camp consists of 5 bespoke tents, all styled with a 1920s African aesthetic and designed for comfort. The camp has been constructed on raised decking – made from recycled materials – and its main area features a large dining room, luxurious lounge and a library, as well as an interactive kitchen and the camp’s wine cellar which holds hundreds of bottles of fine South African wines. The elevated position of the camp ensures incredible views of the Okavango Delta and its surrounding floodplains and grasslands. Sit back on the deck, under the shade of the giant ebony trees and immerse yourself in this stunning landscape as elephants and buffalo parade past.

Toka Leya Camp

Toka Leya Camp sits on the banks of the Zambezi River, nestled in the heart of the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park. The camp has a calming and luxurious atmosphere, with 12 canvas tents on raised platforms, looking out over the wide rolling grasslands. Guests will hear nothing but the sounds of birds calling and insects chirping whilst they relax and eat dinner or enjoy a drink on their decking, under the wide unpolluted Zambian sky. All the tents are comfortable and authentic, with wooden features and cosy four poster beds. Ensuite bathrooms and private verandahs come with all the rooms, and they are filled with natural light through wide windows. The camp is in a prime location, with Victoria Falls not far away, guests can spend time exploring the magnificent wonder of the world, or can spend time closer to home, exploring the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park. For guests who wish to have a more relaxing experience then the camp can offer spa treatments, followed by a dip in the sparkling swimming pool.

San Camp

Scattered across the shore of the Nwetwe Pan, rests San Camp; a collection of 7 classic safari tents dotted amongst the palm trees. The tents are all spaced far away from one another, giving guests a private experience where they can immerse themselves in the unique desert landscape. Get away from the stresses of civilisation and explore the desolate Nwetwe Pan, where white salt-crusted earth stretches on for miles and miles, with just the camp’s habituated meerkat neighbours for company. San Camp is only open during Botswana’s dry season (April 1st – October 15th), when the landscape is most striking.
