andBeyond

&Beyond is a rather exclusive travel company with a large portfolio of camps and lodges in east and southern Africa. It is one of several independent safari companies whose properties we, at Yellow Zebra, like to use in our clients' itineraries.

Background information

Previously known as CCAfrica (Conservation Corporation Africa), &Beyond has the core ethic of "Care of the Land, Care of the Wildlife, Care of the People". It believes that wildlife conservation and ecotourism are vital for Africa's future, and that low-impact, high-yield tourism helps the conservation of both wildlife and its habitat, by making it economically viable, while at the same time benefiting the local communities.

&Beyond is one of the most luxurious travel companies that we deal with. It is most famous for its East African properties such as Crater Lodge, Mnemba Island Lodge and Kleins Camp, but it also has excellent lodges in South Africa and Botswana, as well as a couple in Kenya and Namibia.

&Beyond is known for its natural luxury and the quality of its guides, trackers and naturalists who help guests achieve memorable wildlife experiences. It is particularly good for single travellers as there are no single supplements.

&Beyond camps:

&Beyond Grumeti Serengeti Tented Camp

Located on the famous Grumeti River in the Western Serengeti, Grumeti Serengeti Tented Camp offers luxury to guests keen to witness the Great Migration from May to early July.

&Beyond Klein's Camp

Undeniably excellent quality, Klein’s deserves its place among the park’s finest hotels as service and accommodation is set at a very high level. This is the camp’s main selling point – it is truly stunning.

&Beyond Lake Manyara Tree Lodge

‘Tree Lodge’ sits deep in Lake Manyara National Park and consequently offers a quieter safari than the vast majority of visitors to this area will experience. This, along with the sheer level of luxury on offer, is the main reason to stay at this camp.

&Beyond Mnemba Island Lodge

Mnemba is a paradise island. Surrounded by turquoise water and fantastic coral reef, Mnemba’s beaches are widely regarded as the finest in Africa. The snorkelling and coral reefs that surround the island are extremely good.

&Beyond Ngorongoro Crater Lodge

Perched on the rim of Ngorongoro Crater, Crater Lodge has a truly awesome location. It is one of Africa’s most famous hotels – people travel to Tanzania just to stay here.

&Beyond Serengeti Under Canvas

&Beyond’s Serengeti Under Canvas is one of the best camps for the Great Migration at any time of year – unlike many other mobile camps, it moves its location approximately every two months to keep up with the herds. It is the Serengeti’s most luxurious and expensive mobile camp.

&Beyond Kirkman's Kamp

Kirkman’s Kamp is the only lodge in the private Kirkman’s Reserve in the Eastern area of Sabi Sand. The game viewing here is exceptional – the reserve borders Kruger National Park it benefits from all the animals that wander by.

&Beyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge

Sossusvlei Desert lodge is approximately one hour's drive from Namibia’s famous Sossusvlei sand dunes. A remote location compared to other camps in the region but one that services the area very well.

andBeyond Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp Tented Suite1

&Beyond Nxabega Camp

Fairly recently refurbished, Nxabega has never looked better. This is a stunning property and one that offers a good all round Okavango experience. Book this property with its more expensive sister camp Sandibe and there is a good argument to say that that’s the very best of Botswana for a relatively sensible price.

&Beyond Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge

&Beyond Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge is a small concession on the west side of the Okavango Delta, adjacent to Moremi Wildlife Reserve. This is a remote area with a rich diversity of animal and bird life – there are over 450 different species of birds. It is close to a permanent channel in the Delta, so is able to offer both land and water activities throughout the year.
