Sun Destinations

Who needs the beach with pools like these?

Beach holidays have often been equated with the idea of the perfect escape but a safari offers more than just relaxation.
Safaris awaken a sense of awe and wonder in some of the world’s wildest, most untamed places. While unwinding from everyday life, they invite in a wider and wilder perspective of the world. What could be better than safari lodges and camps whose pools have breathtaking views and the wildest of visitors?

The safari way of life encompasses a way of being. Encountering wild animals in their natural habitat is a profound experience that changes you forever and is one of the many elements that make a safari holiday so incredibly memorable.
Safaris also allow you to tune into a slower pace of life, immersing yourself in the wilderness in a way that reconnects you to nature and yourself, while enjoying the safari essentials like sundowners in awe-inspiring spots and lazy afternoons relaxing, reading and bird and wildlife watching beside the pool.

They are the perfect blend of adventure and wonder with a deep sense of relaxation.
