20 safari residences, chosen for whole-property use. The kind of week people still describe to whoever didn’t come.
Design a safari retreat
Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve
Sabi Sand / Greater Kruger, Mpumalanga
Four distinct lodges on one of the Big Five's most reliable traversing areas, owner-operated since 1979. Bush Lodge (the flagship, ~25 suites + conference facility) anchors the plenary while Earth Lodge, Selati Camp and Little Bush Camp absorb breakout groups — a coordinated full-reserve buyout that scales past the single-camp ceiling without losing the genuine wilderness feel.
Anantara The Royal Livingstone Victoria Falls Hotel
Livingstone / Mosi-oa-Tunya, Zambezi River
173 colonial-luxe rooms strung along the Zambezi, with private lawn access to the lip of Victoria Falls and conference space for up to ~450 delegates. This is the rare safari-adjacent property that hosts a full company at one address — plenary, gala under the spray, then sundowner cruises and game drives in Mosi-oa-Tunya as breakouts.
Singita Grumeti
Serengeti / Grumeti, Tanzania
Arguably the most exclusive private buyout in East Africa; Great Migration on a private 350,000-acre concession.
Segera Retreat
Laikipia, Kenya
Art-and-conservation retreat that takes over whole; private vehicles per villa on 50,000 acres.
Cottar's 1920s Safari Camp & Private House
Maasai Mara conservancy, Kenya
Heritage 1920s-style camp on a private Olderkesi conservancy; classic Out-of-Africa theatre.
andBeyond Phinda Private Game Reserve
KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Seven distinct ecosystems, malaria-free, multi-lodge 'waves' for big groups near Durban.
Sabi Sand Neighbours Overflow Combine
Sabi Sand, South Africa
When one reserve can't hold the group, the Sabi Sand combine (Lion Sands, MalaMala, Londolozi) can; coordinated DMC programming.
Royal Malewane (The Royal Portfolio)
Thornybush, South Africa
Relais & Châteaux ultra-luxe; combine villas (Africa House, Waterside, Farmhouse) for a tight leadership offsite.
Sanctuary Retreats — Botswana Multi-Camp Circuit
Okavango Delta, Botswana
Water-and-land Delta safari (Chief's Camp, Stanley's, Baines'); group splits across camps, reunites for finale.
One&Only Nyungwe House
Nyungwe Forest, Rwanda
Tea-estate lodge for chimp/primate tracking; intimate leadership scale.
Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve
Cederberg, South Africa
Malaria-free, rock-art, easy 3hr drive from Cape Town; whole-reserve buyout of 7,500ha.
Grootbos Private Nature Reserve
Gansbaai / Western Cape, South Africa
Fynbos-and-whale coast, marine 'Big Five,' 2hr from Cape Town; sustainability flagship.
Londolozi
Sabi Sand, Greater Kruger
Five side-by-side camps run by the founding Varty family along the Sand River in the leopard-rich Sabi Sand, one of Africa's most storied reserves. Booking the reserve whole gives a company its own big-five wilderness with shared game-drive fleets, a wellness studio and a photographic studio.
MalaMala Game Reserve
Sabi Sand, Greater Kruger
The largest private big-five reserve bordering Kruger, MalaMala shares a 19-kilometre unfenced boundary with the national park and runs three camps — Main Camp, Sable Camp and Rattray's Camp. Taken together they host a full company on one of the highest-density wildlife tracts in Africa.
Angama Mara
Maasai Mara / Mara Triangle
Perched on the escarpment high above the Mara Triangle — the Out of Africa country — Angama runs two identical 15-tent camps that combine to host a full leadership group above one of the great wildlife theatres on earth. Glass-fronted suites float over the plains where the Great Migration crosses.
Loisaba Conservancy
Laikipia Plateau
A 57,000-acre community-owned conservancy on the Laikipia Plateau where Loisaba Tented Camp and Lodo Springs, plus the open-air Star Beds, combine to host a company across a working conservation landscape. Big skies, Mount Kenya on the horizon and elephant corridors make it as much a conservation story as a safari.
Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge
Volcanoes National Park
An eight-cottage lodge set on the edge of Volcanoes National Park, and Rwanda's first community-owned lodge — rentals fund the surrounding SACOLA communities. Taken whole, it gives a smaller leadership group a base for mountain-gorilla trekking among the Virunga volcanoes.
Every residence below in full detail — capacity, region, and what makes it worth the buyout.
- Wilderness Mombo / DumaTau / Vumbura ClusterOkavango & Linyanti, BotswanaBotswana · 30–70 guests
The gold standard of Botswana camps; premium conservation story across charter-linked sister camps.
- Singita Sabi SandSabi Sand, Greater KrugerSouth Africa · 36–60 guests
Singita's founding property spans 45,000 acres of the Sabi Sand and pairs Ebony Lodge, Boulders Lodge and the exclusive-use Castleton villa. Combining the three lodges gives a company the whole design-forward estate, a wine cellar of note and some of the most reliable leopard viewing on earth.
- Wilderness MomboChief's Island, Okavango DeltaBotswana · 20–28 guests
Set on Chief's Island in the heart of the Okavango Delta, Mombo and its sister Little Mombo sit on Botswana's most prized game concession, famed for lion, leopard and rhino. Buying out both camps gives a leadership group the whole concession — a genuinely private slice of the Delta.
