We want to present these 4 lodges in the beautiful nature parks of Africa.
The landscape surrounding Kruger National Park in South Africa features vast savannahs, dense forests and mountains. It is surrounded by two rivers, home to a variety of wild animals. The African BIG 5 have found a protected home, as well as hundreds of different bird species. Africa adventurers are drawn to the national park primarily by the biodiversity and the stunning landscape, and also by exciting cultural highlights. Near the Greater Kruger National Park lies the wonderful Sabi Sand Private Reserve. Some of the most luxurious lodges in Africa are located here, perfect for your adventure. Due to its multitude of waterholes, the private reserve is a true oasis for numerous animals, so it's an ideal place to witness them. Special highlight in Sabi Sand: a large amount of leopards.

Die Luxus-Lodge Mara Bushtops liegt inmitten des 6.500 Hektar großen privaten Wildtierreservat – der Bushtops Wildlife Conservancy (Isaaten). Only the Masai and the guests of the lodge are granted access to the protected area. This is to ensure that a balance can be maintained between the needs and demands of the flora & fauna, the locals and vacationers. The 12 unique tents of the Bushtop-Mara are exceptional retreats under the African sun. Surrounded by a wooden deck, these tents are places to unwind, reconnect with picturesque nature and recharge for the next African adventure. Since the passing animals like to stop a time or two at the lodge's exposed salt lick stones, breakfast, lunch or dinner can also quickly become a spectacle.

Volcanoes National Park in northwestern Rwanda is famous for one thing: Mountain gorillas. Almost half of the population of endangered mountain gorillas lives in the jungle of the African national park. The area gained its fame mainly through the research of the American primatologist Diane Fossey, who published the book "Gorillas in the mist" after two years in Rwanda. The national park received its name due to a total of five volcanoes in the area. The rugged landscape as well as the dense jungle require visitors to be tough on their hikes - the first sighting of a free-living mountain gorilla makes it all worth it!
