#SatoriEscapes was an idea born out of the lockdown and our desire to share with you an exclusive portfolio of hand-selected and unqiue packages and properties. Effectively we wanted these packages to reflect experiences that we feel express the deeply rooted essence of what Africa is about and how we choose to live it.

Each property has been personally selected and curated into a unique and exclusive short getaway just for you. The idea is to offer you the feeling of a ‘money can’t buy experience’ but still at great value. This is our chance to share with you our hidden gems. Each of these packages can also be extended or even combined with other selected options from our #SatoriEscapes portfolio.

We will also shortly be launching our Top 12 bucket list experiences for South Africans who are keen to explore and experience what we believe are the 12 most iconic or insta-worthy trips in Africa.

Historical homes oozing in history and culture,

perfect starry nights to inspire the Van Gogh in you,

tracking of Africa’s most endangered species on foot,

family experiences to create memories to last a lifetime,

the sound of endless kilometres of backroad gravel roads in your very own fully kitted out 4×4,

untouched landscapes invoking romantic thoughts of a bygone era where one instantly feels

connected back to earth…

These are the moments and experiences that we want to share with you, discovering this country in all her unique beauty!
