AFRICA'S BEST
2019
Planning a safari adventure to Africa can be quite a daunting task, what with an abundance of camps & lodges that are spectacular to the first impression yet sometimes an intimidating prospect when you wondered whether you chose wisely. We give you the lowdown of 10 of our favorites for 2019 and more....
Ivory Lodge, Kruger National Park, South Africa
Why We Love It:
With just 8 villas, an intimate experience appreciating the wondrous landscapes ensue. Coupled with the "Million stars experience" of staying in a romantic Tree House, the Ivory Lodge promises and extraordinary experience of immaculate luxury in wildlife-rich domains of Kruger National Park.
The Damage:
Best Time To Visit:
Between April to September at the beginning or the end of the dry season where vegetation are sparse and water levels low due to the lack of rain, resulting in increased opportunities to spot wildlife at the watering holes.
Wildlife Rating:
Serengeti Bushtops Camp, Serengeti National Park, Tanzania
Why We Love It:
Just 15 miles away from the famous Mara River crossing directly in the path of the spectacular wildebeest migration, the Serengeti Bushtops Camp offers a privileged location and setting for a "ringside seat" to the incredible event where only until recently, Northern Serengeti only allows mobile camps. 11 tents and 2 family tents are offered here furnished in just the right touches that do not overwhelm.
The Damage:
Best Time To Visit:
Late June to September where the wildebeest migration takes place across from Northern Serengeti into the Masai Mara in Kenya. With little to no rainfall, this is the dry season offering pleasant temperature for a safari adventure. Although this coincides with the peak season, it should not deter your experience if you book early
Wildlife Rating:
Mkulumadzi Lodge, Majete Wildlife Reserve, Malawi
Why We Love It:
Located in a private concession within Majete Wildlife Reserve, one of Africa's greatest conservation story and a secret Big 5 safari destination, the Mkulumadzi Lodge offers the ultimate in isolation and luxury away from the crowds. We never intended to share this secret but the safari experience coupled with the magical Kapichira Falls are more than a treat.
The Damage:
Best Time To Visit:
May to August for the dry cool season until September where temperature gradually increases and rain starts to return. A safari journey to Majete Wildlife Reserve is often complimented with an experience of the stunning black tea plantations and a luxuriating retreat on the almost-too-perfect Lake Malawi.
