Experiencing Africa's hidden gems...

Far from the madding crowd, away from the usual tourism routes and safari circuits, are a small number of incredible, intimate and little-known destinations that are begging to be explored, offering often unique safari experiences and immersive cultural exchanges.

With "slow" travel one of the fastest emerging trends in the post-pandemic travel arena, taking the time to explore some of these off-the-beaten track hidden gems is proving a popular alternative to busier, mainstream tourism hotspots and safari favourites. 

Sometimes hard to get to, and not without their challenges in this respect, these secret safari sensations are nonetheless worthy of inclusion in an African itinerary. 

In Zambia you have Chisa Busanga Camp in the Kafue National Park with its jaw-dropping "bird's nest" guest suites and the uber luxurious King Lewanika with views of forever in Liuwa Plain National Park... Or Shipwreck Lodge on Namibia's remote and wild Skeleton Coast and Serra Cafema in Namibia's far north, home of the Himba people where the Kunene River slices the sand dunes like a knife, bringing a swathe of green to the vast, arid landscapes... 

You can escape from the world at Lekkerwater Beach Lodge in South Africa's beautiful De Hoop nature reserve and experience the sublime at San Camp in the heart of Botswana's Makgadikgadi Pans... Go back in time to the era of the classic safari at Leleshwa Camp on the edge of Kenya's Masai Mara where an authentic tented adventure awaits...

These places are ideal for honeymoons, offering intimate, romantic interludes in some of the most remote and wild places Africa has to offer without compromising on luxury, exceptional service and phenomenal wildlife activities as well as great opportunities for bona fide community and cultural experiences.
