Conservation Lodges
Our collection of conservation lodges combine tourism and conservation. Each is located in a private nature reserve in some of the most important areas for biodiversity on the planet.
Our Conservation Lodges offer unprecedented access to nature, while directly supporting the environment. The opportunity to interact with conservation teams on the front lines is among the most rewarding experiences in our collection.
Spend your days bird watching, hiking, and experiencing nature. Help restore the world’s forests by planting your own tree.
