Quintessential Safari Camps & Lodges in Africa

Quintessential Camps & Lodges

Classic • Comfortable • Authentic

 

For travellers looking for a classic African safari experience, our Quintessential safari camps and lodges offer the perfect balance of comfort, character and connection to the wilderness. These carefully selected African safari camps and safari lodges in Africa provide a comfortable base from which to explore some of the continent’s most spectacular wildlife areas, while retaining the atmosphere and sense of place that make a safari so special.

​

Our collection includes intimate tented safari camps, characterful bush camps and beautifully situated safari lodges in Africa, each chosen for its setting, style and quality of experience. Expect comfortable accommodation, private en-suite facilities, good food, welcoming hospitality and inviting communal spaces, often complemented by canvas tents, natural materials, firepits and spectacular views across the surrounding wilderness.

​

These are authentic safari camps rather than large resort-style properties. They are designed to immerse you in the African bush while providing a good level of comfort at the end of an exciting day. From waking to the sounds of wildlife to relaxing around the campfire beneath a star-filled sky, the experience remains firmly rooted in the natural environment.

​

Quintessential sits between our more adventurous Adventure Camps and our more luxurious Indulgence properties. If Adventure is about getting deeper into the wilderness, Quintessential is about enjoying the classic safari experience with very good comfort. The emphasis is on character, atmosphere, excellent guiding and memorable wildlife encounters, rather than five-star resort-style luxury.

​

Depending on the destination, your safari might include game drives, guided walks, boating, canoeing, cultural experiences and other activities that allow you to experience the wilderness from different perspectives. From Serengeti safari camps and Masai Mara safari camps to Okavango Delta safari camps and wilderness lodges in southern Africa, each property offers its own interpretation of the classic African bush experience.

​

For travellers seeking comfortable safari accommodation without losing the authenticity of being in the wild, our Quintessential collection offers some of the best classic safari camps, tented camps and safari lodges in Africa. These are places where the focus remains firmly on wildlife, wilderness and exceptional guiding, with comfort and character completing the experience.
