Getting “back to nature” takes on an entirely new level in Southern Africa, especially in game reserves where being so close to wildlife – including big cats, elephants and hippos – is a major part of the thrill. There’s no shortage of lodge and camp operators from which to choose, offering something for all budgets. African ecotourism and conservation brand, Singita has a stable of ultra-luxury properties in in South Africa, Tanzania, Rwanda and Zimbabwe, such as lodges, houses, villas and camps.

The extensively redesigned Singita Sabora Tented Camp has reopened this month, ushering in a new era of luxury safari under canvas in Tanzania. Travellers are yearning for wide-open spaces, intuitive service and more time to relax. This modern interpretation of luxury tented safaris presents the perfect opportunity to return to Africa to rest, reset and be restored.
