Safari lodges are no longer just about game drives and canvas tents. Across Africa, a new wave of luxury openings is turning the safari experience into something far more design-led, immersive and experience-focused.
From remote tented camps in Zambia to mountain retreats in South Africa and stylish new lodges in Tanzania, these openings are putting as much emphasis on the setting, food and atmosphere as the wildlife itself, giving travellers a more relaxed, immersive way to experience some of the continent’s most spectacular landscapes.
These are some of the most exciting new openings to know now.
