Sanctuary Retreats: Embrace the spirit of carefully crafted safari lodges

Sanctuary Retreats

Embrace the spirit of our carefully crafted safari lodges

Discover Striking and Stylish Interiors

At Sanctuary Retreats we think of every last detail when it comes to the design of our lodges. We consistently provide guests with thoughtful touches and go above and beyond to ensure they are eager to return. When guests visit one of our lodges in Africa we guarantee the attentive staff, the inviting rooms and the beautiful interior will make them feel at ease from the minute they walk in the door. We aim to provide an extraordinary setting for all guests to ensure the ultimate safari experience for them to cherish.

Discover some of our favourite design elements from our portfolio of safari lodges:

Sanctuary Olonana

The soothing interiors within the main lodges at Sanctuary Olonana are an extension of the surrounding wilderness. Ornamentation includes hand-crafted Masai spears on the walls and specially commissioned African art.

Contemporary architecture is juxtaposed with time-tested building practices such as stone walls with the mudding of the walls done by the Masai women every year. Soothing organic tones and a variety of textures add warmth and character and provide a nod to African culture. This lodge is a visual masterpiece that showcases ingenious architecture and artistic interiors.

Okahirongo Elephant Lodge

Okahirongo Elephant Lodge is a stylish retreat in Namibia's northwest wilderness. The lodge makes use of shapes, colours and materials that echo the local environment with a dome-like Himba entrance, focal fireplace, and traditional boma. Open-sided communal spaces allow for dazzling desert views.

This lodge makes fantastic use of local materials such as driftwood, clay and stone and is stylish and full of contemporary design, with local customs and culture referenced throughout. Find solace in this incredible space and experience the ultimate respite on your trip.

Sanctuary Chief's Camp

Sanctuary Chief's Camp provides guests with contemporary design and stylish interiors, rich in reference to the camp’s royal heritage. This lodge is designed in a classic, characterful 'safari chic' style. Our Sanctuary staff aim to make this space feel like home for our guests and have taken part in small gestures such as handmaking laundry baskets to help make this feeling a reality.
