Enveloped in towering reeds, winding waterways, and savanna grasslands, this spectacular Experience is unparalleled when it comes to the merging of luxury travel and authentic African safari experiences.  

The lodge’s architectural ethos embraces the privilege of space by prioritizing an open-plan layout. It emphasizes the raw beauty of nature by featuring varieties of wood, woven decor, leather, and canvas elements, all while paying homage to local art and craftsmanship. Echoing the Delta’s natural tones, the lodge showcases splashes of green, blue, and gold throughout, seamlessly blending with its surrounding landscape. 

Area Overview

The Okavango Delta, a shimmering oasis in the heart of Botswana, is one of Africa’s most extraordinary safari destinations. Unlike most river deltas that empty into the ocean, the Okavango Delta spills into the Kalahari Desert, creating an immense network of channels, lagoons, and islands teeming with life. This dynamic, seasonally flooded landscape offers one of the most unique and immersive wildlife experiences on the planet.

A safari in the Okavango Delta offers both water and land-based exploration. Glide through reed-lined channels in a mokoro, a traditional dugout canoe, expertly guided by local polers, or embark on thrilling game drives across national parks and private concessions for unforgettable adventures.

The Okavango Delta is home to an astonishing variety of wildlife, including elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, and African wild dogs. Bird enthusiasts will revel in sightings with over 400 species, including the majestic African fish eagle and the elusive Pel’s fishing owl. From hippos jostling in the lagoons to buffalo herds wading through the floodplains, this ever-changing ecosystem offers an unparalleled safari experience when it comes to animal diversity.

The Okavango Delta is more than a safari destination; it’s an experience that will remain with you for a lifetime.

Accommodation Overview

Suites are built for comfort and flexibility, with king beds that can be arranged as twins in several rooms, large windows, and private terraces for a quiet coffee before heading out. Most categories include a separate lounge or office nook, useful if you need a calm hour in the middle of the day. Bathrooms are modern and well finished, either bath and shower or shower only, with Terres d’Afrique products, robes, and slippers. Each suite includes a Nespresso coffee station, an initially stocked minibar with local items, high-speed Wi-Fi, personal laundry, and turn-down service.

Property Overview

This is a small, discreet base with a clear focus on views, privacy, and personalised planning. Shared spaces are designed for downtime between city days, with a pool and lounge area set to take in Cape Town and the Atlantic, plus a wellness area with gym and sauna access. Breakfast is included, and the team can help shape your days around what you actually enjoy, a sunrise cable car, a Winelands lunch booking, or a day on the Peninsula. For groups, the house can also be taken exclusively, with space to gather, dine together, and settle into a slower rhythm on the mountain’s edge.

Area Overview

Cape Town is defined by the steep rise of Table Mountain above the city bowl, with coastal roads, beaches, and vineyards close enough for easy day trips. The best time depends on your priorities. Summer brings long, bright days that suit the Peninsula drive, beaches, and late dinners, while winter is cooler and often clearer for mountain walks, galleries, and Winelands tastings. It is a destination that rewards variety; you can go from a mountain cable car to a waterfront dinner without feeling rushed.

Experiences and Highlights:

Experiences
Table Mountain cable car, Cape Peninsula drive via Chapman’s Peak, Cape Winelands day out, Bo-Kaap Cape Malay cooking session, V&A Waterfront dining and sunset cruise, Robben Island tour, gallery day including Zeitz MOCAA, Hermanus whale watching mid-June to mid-November, tandem paragliding, kayaking along the Atlantic seaboard, shark cage diving, snorkel with Cape fur seals, helicopter flips.
