New Openings For 2023

As an Angama True Blue partner we were delighted to be one of the first to share the news of Angama's brand new property, Angama Amboseli. Nestled in Kenya's first community-conservancy, the Kimana Sanctuary, this diverse habitat boasts rich wildlife density, breath-taking views of Mount Kilimanjaro. In true Angama style, this new lodge delivers warm service and unique, authentic design. As an Angama True Blue partner, Mahlatini guests receive exclusive benefits when staying at all Angama camps and lodges. Even better, in celebration of our 20th anniversary year Mahlatini clients will receive an extra 20% off their stay!

We're most looking forward to... The chance to witness 'super tusker' elephants!

The latest addition from our long-standing property partner Great Plains Conservation has finally arrived! Sitatunga Private Island Camp was designed and created with the same dedication to conservation and regeneration, and also the same service and style as its sister properties such as Duba Plains and Selinda Camp. Described as very 'Robinson Crusoe, desert island-ish' this is barefoot luxury in the Okavango Delta.

Enjoy their special opening offer that welcomes guests to stay 3 nights and pay for 2 nights. This launch offer is valid from 15 July 2023 - 14 June 2024 and excludes 20 December 2023 - 10 January 2024.

Loapi means ‘the space below the clouds’ in Setswana, and Loapi Tented Camp will be nestled in the lesser-travelled, and ultra-exclusive Tswalu area in South Africa's Northern Cape. Loapi will consist of 6 individual tented safari homes, located at least 50m apart to ensure maximum privacy. Each safari home will be totally self-contained and operate as a mini camp, each coming with its own Homathi (butler), guide, tracker, vehicle and chef. It is sure to be one of the most exclusive and private safari experiences in Africa.

We're most looking forward to.. Extra added indulgence with in-room spa treatments.

Classic Banyan Tree style and service on a private island off the coast of Mozambique, it's no surprise Banyan Tree Ilha Caldeira is one of our most anticipated new Indian Ocean properties.

We're most excited for... seeing rare and elusive dugongs!

4 Rivers Camp will be joining the Kwara concession, one of the most exclusive and game rich areas of the Okavango Delta. Tucked away in a remote corner of the reserve, 4 Rivers will be a classic tented safari camp offering thrilling activities in a peaceful setting. The camp's position is incredible, overlooking a permanent lagoon it is sure to be a new favourite in the Okavango Delta. Retaining a true Botswanan ethos, the camp will host an intimate collection of only 9 suites, including 1 family tent.

We're most looking forward to... witness their 100% solar-powered camp.

A firm South Africa safari favourite, Thornybush Game Lodge has had a full refurbishment, which included the addition of Kamara House, a luxury safari villa perfect for families and small groups.

The ultimate family travel experience!

We're most excited for.... The private use safari vehicle when staying at the 2-bedroom villa.

A luxury mobile camp, Usawa Serengeti, which follows the seasonal wildebeest migration, travels throughout the year across the expanse of the Serengeti National Park. This camp offers all the action but without compromising on comfort. With just six ensuite tents, each completely solar-powered and equipped with WiFi and hot water, it moves with minimal environmental impact and guarantees exceptional wildlife encounters. Being in the right place at the right time offers you front-row seats to the unfolding drama of the wildebeest migration!

We're most looking forward to... guided walks directly from camp, led by exceptionally knowledgeable and expert guides.
