Embark on an African safari with SAFARI.COM and A&K Sanctuary

In the realm of safari excellence, A&K Sanctuary rises above, not only as a collection of lodges but also as the measure of true luxury experiences in Southern Africa. Each property is a rare representation of refined luxury, where travel meets transcendence. Every element, from the architecture framing the savannahs to the experiences crafted by guides and hosts, reveals the A&K Sanctuary promise of exceptional distinction. 

At SAFARI.COM, we have a reputation for curating Africa’s most outstanding safaris. A&K Sanctuary exceeds guest expectations around safari luxury, while remaining committed to conservation and community upliftment. Thanks to our long-standing relationship, we can offer you access to exclusive opportunities during your safari in Botswana, Namibia, or Zambia. 

Luxury safaris and transformative experiences elevate guest encounters in the African outdoors. It is less about observing wildlife on a game drive and more about establishing deep, meaningful connections with the land and those who inhabit it - A&K Sanctuaries share this belief with us. Nothing about Africa is written in stone, and every day is a living story of unforgettable moments. 

The exceptional beauty of A&K Sanctuary Baine’s Lodge in Botswana


Baine’s Lodge - Botswana 

An intimate safari sanctuary completely rebuilt in 2025, Baine’s Lodge marks a new pinnacle of tented luxury in the Delta. Linked by wooden walkways across stilt-raised suites, the vast wetland wilderness quietly hums with life around you. This open-plan oasis is carved out in reeds, sustainably sourced timber, and a nature-led colour palette.  

Located at the edge of the Moremi Game Reserve on the Boro River, one of the Okavango Delta’s principal waterways, you are positioned to enjoy exceptional wildlife viewing by both land and water. Venture on game drives or guided walks through the ancient reserve, or enjoy a unique mokoro excursion down narrow channels and reed-lined waterways. Large mammals, elusive predators, and abundant plains game define the landscape.

A highlight for guests is the star baths and rain showers, which form part of each private tented suite. Carve out time in your day to soak up an orange sunset that fades into a starlit night. If you are seeking sensational discoveries and low-impact luxury in the heart of the Okavango Delta, welcome to Baine’s Lodge.

Chief’s Camp - Botswana

Chief’s Camp anchors the A&K Sanctuary portfolio. Luxury in the bush is enhanced by position and perspective, and Chief’s Island is one of the Moremi Game Reserve’s largest and most historically acclaimed islands. Known as the predator capital of Africa, lion prides move through regularly, elephants gather at the waterhole in front of the camp's main viewing deck and pool, and birds add colour and music to the skies. 

Hand-built as a contemporary extension of the wilderness, 10 spacious bush pavilions are suspended above the Delta's floodplains. Floor-to-ceiling windows showcase the living outdoors, and a private wraparound terrace with plunge pool and nature shower elevate your connections to the surroundings. Spoil yourself with a spa treatment, dine on the finest African cuisine, and include the whole family – a dedicated children's retreat is available!

Chief’s Camp is a private concession, meaning your guide can pursue thrilling off-road sightings during game drives. Embark on lion hunts into the sunlit grass or track leopards during a graceful chase and kill. White and black rhinos can also be spotted in the wild, making this one of only a few places in Botswana where all of Africa’s iconic species converge.

Stanley’s Camp - Botswana

Named after the legendary explorer Henry Stanley, this camp’s design captures his spirit of adventure while offering exquisite views of the mighty Okavango Delta. Each of the 10 classic suites exudes sophistication, where tradition is celebrated, and artisanal finishes capture the essence of classic African luxury.

The versatility of this camp’s 260,000-acre private concession is impressive. Game drives reveal resident lions roaming the plains and leopards stalking and hunting their prey, along with other incredible wildlife sightings. Night game drives capture a different, equally fascinating world of nocturnal species. Glide along the Delta’s waterways on an immersive mokoro safari, paced by the rhythms of moving water and the gentle chorus of surrounding wildlife.

Stanley’s Camp has a rim-flow infinity pool that appears to merge seamlessly with the savannah. Swim while watching giraffe from a distance, and observe wildebeest, hyena, and impala up close as they enjoy the watering hole right in front of the pool. Relax under the shade of ebony and kigela trees as time stands still in Africa.

Okahirongo Elephant Lodge - Namibia

Redefine what you believe to be true of both beauty and life at The Puros Conservancy in Kaokoland, considered one of Africa’s last true wilderness areas. This remote location feels far removed from reality as we know it, with the vast Namibian desert creating a captivating backdrop. Unlike the renowned Delta, few people have visited this otherworldly location, making every moment here a deeply personal discovery.

Architecturally, Okahirongo’s style reflects a traditional Himba home, with colours and textures that blend seamlessly into the landscape. The only buildings with doors are the 7 suites, quietly luxurious, air-conditioned, and open enough to showcase giraffes, ostriches, or springboks as they pass by. A large infinity-edge pool is framed by endless views of distant mountains, desert, and bushveld.

Clay castle excursions, scenic 4x4 drives along constantly shifting dunes, cultural visits, and desert sundowners let visitors connect with a side of Africa rarely seen. Even in this extreme habitat, wildlife is present – look out for Hartmann’s zebra, springbok, and desert-adapted elephant herds.

Sussi and Chuma Lodge – A Treehouse on the Zambezi

Positioned a mere twelve kilometres from Victoria Falls, you are close enough to visit “The Smoke That Thunders” without the crowds and far enough to experience the wilder side of Zambezi. Stay in one of 12 ethereal treehouse suites at Sussi and Chuma Lodge, connected by wooden walkways. Elegance meets adventure, and views over the white waters of the Zambezi River are breathtaking. 

Discover the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park on early morning and late afternoon game drives, or along guided walks. Rhino walks are something not to be missed, while Victoria Falls excursions and sundowner cruises also connect guests to wildlife and nature. The constant presence of the river and surrounding riverine forests gently reminds guests that nature and luxury can coexist harmoniously. 

Capture your stay in photographs enhanced by natural splendour and peaceful sanctuaries. Throughout your stay, the services feel genuine and personal, and the spirit of luxury in Africa never dims.
