At Home Among Nature: Luxury Safari Tents and Lodge Surrounded by Nature
You will stay in safari tents which, despite their name, offer unparalleled comfort. Private bathroom, four-poster bed, electricity and elegant African-style furnishings, all to guarantee you the right amount of relaxation and all the necessary comforts. Our four-star lodge will welcome you with a warm atmosphere, making you experience the authentic essence of South Africa.

Authentic Safaris: 12 Open Jeep Adventures
Immerse yourself in thrilling open jeep safaris, exploring the private Manyeleti Game Reserve. Here, you will be able to spot over 300 species of birds and more than 150 species of mammals, including the “Big Five” but also wild dogs and cheetahs! Each sighting will be unique and immersed in the wilderness, with the freedom to explore off-trail for authentic perspectives. Every day we will carry out two safari activities, morning and afternoon, interspersed with meals in the lodge and relaxation.

Freedom Without Constraints: Off-Piste and Flexible Hours
Private reservation means unrestricted freedom. We will be able to move off-track to capture unique details. In this area we will be able to leave the beaten track with our vehicle to try to get the most out of every sighting. This is a great benefit as one of the main regulations in Africa is usually “don’t leave the trails”. In addition to this, here there will be no gate times or anything else and we will be able to enjoy the flexibility of non-binding timetables. From dawn to dusk, exploration is limitless.

Rest in Nature: Swimming Pool and African Panorama
After a day of exciting adventures, we can relax by the lodge’s swimming pool, perhaps with an elephant just a few meters away. Our lodge will be a haven of serenity to reflect on the natural wonders you have just experienced.

Manyeleti is not just a destination, but an invitation to experience nature authentically. On this journey, your connection with wild beauty will be the unforgettable experience you seek.

For those looking for a safari experience that combines luxury and authenticity, the Luxury Safari Tent is the definitive choice.

Electricity in the room
The safari tents we will use are equipped with electricity, giving you the comfort of charging all your equipment comfortably in your private area rather than in the common areas like in many African lodges. This will allow you to conveniently manage your batteries and have control of every detail.

Hot water 24/7
Hot water is not a given option when traveling in Africa. Obviously on this trip we won’t have any thoughts about this. Whether you want to take a refreshing shower after an adventurous safari or simply wash your hands, hot water will be available when you need it, all day.

Private and Spacious Bathroom
The bath is more than a convenience, it is a ritual of luxury. Spacious and private, it offers enough space to move freely. Masonry floors and well-kept details give a touch of elegance, making the bathroom a personal oasis of relaxation.

Canopy bed and mosquito net
Each tent in its minimal elegant furnishings features a comfortable canopy bed equipped with a large mosquito net. Another element that may be obvious but which will make your rest impeccable.

Wooden Patio: Relaxation with a View of Nature
Your private outdoor space. The wooden patio is the perfect place to relax in the middle of the day. Listen to the birds singing, observe African animals in their natural habitat, and let yourself be enveloped by the unique atmosphere of Manyeleti.

Luxury Safari Tents are more than accommodation; they are an experience, a way to experience nature without compromise but in an authentic way.

DAY 1 Arrival in South Africa and first Safari

After your flight to Johannesburg, you will meet up with the group with whom you will share the domestic flight to the reserve. All flight details will be shared during the registration phase.

Once you land, a transfer will take you to the lodge where the staff will be waiting for you to settle you in the Safari Tents and for a quick lunch. In fact, after lunch we will immediately start with the safari activities, immediately experiencing the Game Drive in an open jeep. The afternoon safari will depart in the early afternoon and return at night. This will then be followed by a dinner under the stars and then an overnight stay.

DAY 2/7 – Full immersion Safari

The program includes a full immersion of activities. Every day the alarm will ring before dawn to prepare us for the first daily safari. A quick breakfast and straight into the jeep to begin our search! The safari will continue for approximately 3/4 hours and stops mid-morning to stretch your legs and drink a coffee. During the safari we will have at our disposal the experience of an expert local certified guide as well as the presence of a professional nature photographer expert in African fauna.

The return will be mid-morning and will be followed by a hearty breakfast and rest until lunch. In your free hours, you can rest in your tent, look at the photos taken in the beautiful common area or relax by the pool where, sometimes, even elephants come to drink.

Early afternoon, light lunch and departure for the second daily safari. Here we will spend all the hours available in search of the splendid African fauna. Here too, at the end of the photographic activities, we will stop in the savannah for an aperitif and to enjoy moments of relaxation in an earthly paradise, among unique sounds and smells.

We will then slowly return to the lodge, accompanied by the headlights of the jeep and the torch of our guide in search of some night sightings. Finally, once at the lodge, we will enjoy the evening under the famous starry skies of this area, in the silence of the savannah with our chef’s cuisine.

DAY 8 – Manyeleti/Johannesburg

Wake up before dawn, quick breakfast and departure for the last safari. Upon return, after the usual full breakfast, a private transfer will take us to Hoedspruit airport, from here a domestic flight to Johannesburg.

Greetings with the group and from here you can then take your return flight.
