‘Africa’s Best’ is your invitation to discover destinations that not only redefine indulgence but also set new standards for sustainability and stewardship. As you turn these pages, you’ll travel with us to lodges and retreats that are as committed to the future of Africa’s landscapes and wildlife as they are to offering extraordinary levels of comfort and style. Every detail, from the architecture to the activities available, reflects a dedication to conserving the continent’s natural wonders and uplifting its communities. By choosing sustainable luxury escapes and engaging respectfully with both nature and culture, you can become a guardian of the continent’s most precious places.

This book has been inspired and elevated by our collaboration with Ardmore Design – the embodiment of South African creativity, social upliftment, and environmental stewardship. Ardmore have enchanted the world with their vibrant, African-inspired homeware, ceramics, textiles, and art, and their magnificent designs featured throughout this book tell the rich stories of Africa’s fauna, flora, and folklore.
