The Mara River Tented Camp is totally off-grid, situated on a bend of the Mara river, overlooking one of the places that the migration crosses.

With only one other lodge on this side of the river, and at a distance, you can feel totally at one with the wilderness.

While the wildebeest are only there in high numbers during the migration, there are many resident animals. This includes a healthy population of predators and a number of famous big tusker elephants.

In particular this is where the big cats rule. As with Big Cat Diary, a BBC wildlife show that ran for several years and was very popular (filmed the other side of the river), there are significant numbers of lions leopards and cheetahs who live in the area worldwide.

Enjoy astounding wildlife, luxurious living and incredible tranquillity for your stay. Fall asleep to the sounds of the bush and the Mara river flowing past.

Singita Mara river tented camp is incredible luxury in the wilderness.

There is nothing separating the wild plains from the camp allowing you to feel completely immersed, with a team of people to look after your safety and offer all the creature comforts you could possibly want.

Furthermore, the wildlife guides are exceptionally knowledgeable and will be able to take you to see fascinating things on your game drives.

Sabora Tented Camp

Sabora Tented camp

Sitting out deep in the centre of the Serengeti (the word Serengeti means endless plains), Sabora is a small place to stay with little footprint, and the animals wander freely through.

Sabora tented camp is camping but in a way you are unlikely to have experienced before.

Glamping (glamorous camping) is perhaps the closest you come in the UK, but this is on a different scale. Huge tents with beds and antique furniture that would not be out of place in a fancy hotel.

On safari, one of the exciting experiences is living in the bush, and under canvas. A big part of this is hearing the neighbours, whether they happen to be hippos grunting, lions roaring or a hyena contact call or even at night the song of the cicadas from all around.

Lebombo lodge

Lembombo Lodge

Singita, Lebombo, Singita, Kruger National Park, South Africa

Singita-Lebombo-Lodge-Long-bar-deck reisized

Lembombo lodge is set on cliffs overlooking the N’wanetsi River. You can sit in comfort and watch the animals go by, or watch them play in the river.

Lying within a private concession deep in the heart of the Kruger National Park, you get the advantage of being deep within the wilderness, but still with few people having access.

The concession covers over 80 square miles so all game drives can occur within its borders – meaning that you will not encounter hundreds of cars, and you will enjoy the wilderness largely alone.

With only 13 suites, the lodge will never feel full, and with expansive decks in the evenings you can choose to enjoy your solitude or share tales of your adventures from the day.

One of these lies in a house on its own with two suites, should a party want more space to themselves.

There is no barrier to stop the wildlife coming close, though with guards around you need never be in fear of your safety.

Despite being in the middle of a huge area of wilderness, creature comforts are not in short supply.

It is widely considered as one of Singita’s best lodges (which is saying something).
