Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel
Affectionately known as “The Nellie,” Belmond’s Mount Nelson Hotel is the collection’s legendary pink lady, its heartbeat in sync with the city and its skyline. Our SAFARI.COM team have become accustomed to its enchanting presence in the city of Cape Town, but we are always blown away by what lies beyond its palm-lined driveway.
This powder pink hotel radiates joy and is a classic representation of Cape Town’s colonial era, elevated by “Afro-modernist” touches. A landmark since 1899, Mount Nelson Hotel places you in the heart of Cape Town, at the foot of Table Mountain. We can book your stay in one of two signature suites for the ultimate indulgence, or in one of the hotel’s luxurious suites or rooms. An accessible suite is also available.
From high tea on the terrace and a relaxing afternoon in a poolside cabana to incredible discoveries on the famous Culinary Kombi tour, you will be swept up in the excitement of a genuinely Capetonian experience. Whether your stay follows a safari or precedes one, you will always cherish your time in the pink-walled oasis that has welcomed the world’s greatest explorers for more than a century.
At SAFARI.COM, we often hear from guests in awe of the rosy cottage gardens, quiet luxuries, and unmistakable care that goes into each stay at Belmond Mount Nelson Hotel. It is playful sophistication and an elegant celebration of African cultures and history, in the heart of the Mother City.

Belmond Savute Elephant Lodge
Embark on a thrilling, world-class safari to Botswana’s famous Chobe National Park. Belmond’s Savute Elephant Lodge never fails to deliver deeply meaningful connections to wildlife and nature, however your story in Africa unfolds. This luxury eco-lodge strips back the noise of the world as you know it, replacing it with something much more real.
Botswana is a country defined by ecological contrasts and varied landscapes. Check in to one of 12 luxury tented suites along the lively Savuti Channel, where predator activity is part of the scenery, and elephants drift to and from the nearby waterhole, at peace with the world and in full view. Your tent, fully air-conditioned, is a spacious sanctuary in the wild, complete with a private and elevated deck for wildlife viewing.
Considered the elephant capital of the world, Savute is home to the world’s largest concentration of elephants. Along with the incredible lion prides and wildlife of Chobe National Park, game drives become a highlight during your stay. African culture and history run deep – observe San Bushman paintings that are over a century old, while traditions like campfire dining and African choir performances end each day on a high note.
The Savute Elephant Lodge merges safari excellence with refined elegance, captivating visitors from across the world. For SAFARI.COM, it is the details that matter most, as Belmond’s thoughtful finishes speak for themselves. Depending on the season you visit, you might even witness the second-largest zebra migration in Africa during your stay!

Belmond Eagle Island Lodge
Deep in the heart of the Okavango Delta, time is ruled by the calls of the wild, and Belmond’s Eagle Island Lodge exists in serene, breathtaking isolation. As a luxury safari lodge surrounded by tranquil waterways, SAFARI.COM can curate your journey for the season, activities, and animals you are most interested in. The dry savannas and flooded plains offer remarkable diversity.
Twelve luxury tents welcome guests for the kind of unique safari experience only Botswana can deliver. Each tented suite features a private deck and plunge pool, where ever-changing channels of the Delta stretch across the vast, golden savannas. It’s not uncommon to see an elephant strolling past your deck, or a family of warthogs passing by at dusk, entirely indifferent to your fascinated stares.
As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Okavango Delta is one of the few places on the continent where game viewing can be done by mokoro, boat, horseback, and helicopter, in addition to bush walks and game drives. You are far from everything and can appreciate what truly matters in life – reflections in Africa can be life-changing.
Eagle Island Lodge is perfect for families and safari explorers ready to delight in something truly special. The interior style of shared spaces and private tents is rich and textured, with dark charcoal and gold shades that feel timeless. It’s like stepping out of yourself and into a world where nature comes first, and luxury is a given.
