Sanctuary Retreats offers a distinctive portfolio of luxury safari lodges and river cruise boats, creating a boutique experience for guests while emphasizing authenticity. Rooted in the philosophy of “Luxury, naturally,” each property is uniquely designed and situated in some of the world’s most breathtaking locations. The brand’s commitment to providing a genuine and luxurious experience is evident in its diverse offerings across Africa, including the inaugural Sanctuary Olonana in Kenya, and extending into Botswana, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and the latest addition, Namibia.

Originating in Africa with the establishment of Sanctuary Olonana in 1999, the brand has since expanded its footprint and now manages lodges and camps in various African countries. Complementing its heritage in luxury adventure travel, Sanctuary Retreats has ventured into managing six river cruise ships. These ships navigate some of the world’s most remarkable cultural and ecological sites, sailing along iconic rivers such as the Nile in Egypt and the Irrawaddy in Myanmar. This expansion into river cruising adds another dimension to Sanctuary Retreats’ commitment to providing extraordinary experiences in awe-inspiring settings.

With a focus on individualized design, a commitment to luxury in harmony with nature, and a diverse range of offerings spanning multiple continents, Sanctuary Retreats continues to be a prominent player in the world of upscale travel, offering guests the opportunity to immerse themselves in unparalleled natural beauty and cultural richness.
