Safari’s never need to be rugged again with this fine selection of luxury bush camps and lodges to choose from.

Let your every wish and need be taken care of in an African dream land of wildlife and natural beauty. There is a categorically wide selection of game lodges and bush camps all over Southern Africa which really do cater for the adventurer wanting a bit of style and comfort within the untouched, beautiful remote fantastical landscape.

Whether you choose Botswana, South Africa, Zambia or any game lodge or national park as your destination there really is a world of variety when venturing on a safari in Southern Africa.  We chose five just to make your decision that much easier.
