Where you will stay

These are the properties our itineraries are built around. When you change a package from mid-range to luxury, the lodges change automatically to the equivalents listed here. All are subject to availability; we propose alternatives if a property is full.

Property photos come from each lodge’s own website and are credited. Where we do not have one yet, the photo is marked “Area photo” and shows the surroundings of the property; your consultant sends the lodge’s own photos with your quotation.
