One collection.
Independently owned.

Seasons in Africa is a curated collection of safari lodges, boutique hotels and adventure operators across Southern Africa. Every property in the collection is independently owned and run by its founders, not by a chain.

We bring these properties together under one umbrella so that planning a multi-stop journey is a single conversation, with one team that knows every property first hand.

The selection

What earns a property a place

Properties only join the collection when they are owned by our joint shareholders, managed by a long-standing Management Team and when their location is genuinely worth travelling to. The experience on the ground must always exceed the promise on the page.

We favour places with a sense of self rather than a brand standard. Each Lodge, Hotel or Activity keeps it’s own character and it’s own way of welcoming guests, it’s own kitchen and guest experience, which ensures each stay is unique, yet connected by a common, exceptional thread.

The footprint

Southern Africa

Safari lodges in the Sabi Sand, Timbavati and Madikwe Game Reserves. Unique hotels in Cape Town, the Garden Route and the Kruger Lowveld. Adventure operators in Hazyview and Victoria Falls, plus our own transfer fleet based in Hoedspruit, Hazyview and White River.

A collection-wide map sits on the homepage. Per-package route maps live on every itinerary page.

One team, many properties
