  Best Lodges for Couples

A safari, by nature, is already romantic. Certain lodges, however, excel at romance – or at facilitating it, in any event. We’ve carefully curated these best for couples safari lodges in Africa, to help paramours decide where to go when they’re looking for the ultimate amorous safari escape.

ChemChem

We just love Richards Camp because it is excusive in set-up; there are only 6 tents. When looking out of your bathroom window in the morning, chances are high a zebra or two look back at you.

Giraffe Manor

Rekero camp is ideally situated to see the annual migration, which is the movement of over one million wildebeest and two hundred thousand zebra from the Serengeti through the Mara in Kenya.

Tongabezi

Far from the tourist track, set in a stunning area with good resident game and superb migration viewing from late July to late October/early November this is a superb choice.

Best lodges for families

South Africa has a vast array of safari lodges which cater for families, though some of them really do stand out. Some lodges definitely cater for families better than others. Here are our top lodges to take your family.

Governors Camp

Governors Camp is a world famous camp on the most beautiful spot in the Masai Mara. It is located on the curb of the Mara River and all tents are overlooking the river.
