10 Best Safari Lodges in Africa

I often get asked which my favorite African safari lodges are – based on my travels on the continent. Here is my selection of what I consider the ten best lodges of the several hundred I have stayed at over the last few years.

In tenth place Mfuwe Lodge which is a simply spectacular Zambian safari lodge experience that never fails to inspire with its access to big game wildlife magic. Ninth place goes to Shamwari Longlee Manor in the Eastern Cape which is well worth a lengthy stay offering a unique take on the African safari experience.

8. Royal Zambezi Lodge in Zambia.
7. Londolozi Founders Camp in South Africa’s Sabi Sands.
6. Zambezi Sun in Zambia.
5. The Royal Livingstone also in Zambia.
4. Chiawa Camp in Zambia.

The Top 3 starts off with Singita Ebony which though a high end option is well worth the premium on admission with its wonderful attention to detail & service excellence. The runner up spot goes to the epic Governors Camp in Kenya’s Masai Mara which is a once in a lifetime safari travelers paradise.

Which brings up to my selection of Africa’s finest safari lodge offering….Mombo Camp. The world famous Mombo Camp is quite simply the best of the very best of African travel in one intimate & high end African safari camp experience.

Eskom Solar Rebate

The Eskom Solar Rebate is a way for South Africans to assist in the fight against global warming & climate change. By installing a substantially subsidized solar geyser water heating system homeowners can mitigate between 30% & 50% of their monthly Eskom electricity bill. Eskom will contribute around R8,000.00 of the costs of installing solar geysers in an effort to lower the demand on the South African power grid in light of massive price hikes & intermittent power outages in recent years.

Rhino Poaching

South Africa’s Financial Mail placed their analysis of Africa’s rhino poaching industry on their cover this past week in a rare break from the mass media’s casual and convenient avoidance of engaging on the issue of the profit driven exploitation of the continent’s wildlife heritage. One can only hope that further sustained exposure on this form of human barbarism will yield louder calls for more proactive governance from the South African (and other affected/effected African “democracies”) authorities from both a legislative and criminal justice perspective.

Rhino Poaching: "Evil will prevail when good men do nothing"

Whilst acres of overzealous column inches are wasted on the analysis and counter-analysis of the anatomy of stupidity known colloqually as Julius Malema Africa’s rhino population continues to be plundered, raped & mindlessly consumed in the service of foreign (mainly Asian & Middle Eastern) currency. The numbers are frightening & startling: where in 1970 the continent housed some 65,000 black rhino there are now only an estimated 3,610 surviving descendants. Yes, things are indeed dire when numbers are rounded to the nearest 10 not the nearest 5,000. Small mercy perhaps that those 3,610 are up on 1992′s low-point of 2,500 when the future of their species ongoing existence on this planet was in serious jeopardy in the midst of the political firestorm that engulfed the nation in the transition from minority white rule to a democracy born but 2 years later.

What excuses there may have existed in the strife torn years of the 1970s and 1980s ring hollow 17 years into freedom for all South African human beings. One fears that one evil – that of white supremacy – has given way to a far more malignant entity (for Africa’s dwindling rhino’s at least) in a putrid & inhumane combination of apathy & willful ignorance on the part of political power structures & the public who serve as (unwitting but culpable all the same) accomplices in the violation of creatures whose freedoms & rights merit at the very least that dolled out to the freedom fighters of decades past.

Join the fight against the willful destruction of Africa’s natural endowment of wildlife wonder – Say No To Hunting on African Safaris - the Facebook Cause worth getting involved in. More voices, more noise - hopefully more sanity.
