Sanctuary Retreats

Uganda gorilla safari

Walk on the wild side and visit Uganda for a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with one of the rarest animals on Earth. Half of the world’s mountain gorillas are found in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. This dense rainforest is a World Heritage site with awe-inspiring biodiversity that lies in the southwest of Uganda. Dotted by forests and lakes and dominated by the dramatic Virunga mountain range, just under 350 mountain gorillas live and play among the mossy undergrowth of the forest floor.

River cruises

A river cruise with Sanctuary Retreats is a remarkable journey through history – combining sightseeing led by only the most knowledgeable guides with time to relax on deck taking in the scenery along the banks of the Nile, the Three Gorges area of the Yangzi or the Ayeyarwady and Chindwin Rivers in Myanmar.

Under the Stars

From dining under moonlight in the Masai Mara or the South Luangwa, to cosmic safaris in the Serengeti and star baths and sky beds in the Okavango Delta, Santuary Retreats offer a variety of “Under the Stars” experiences at camps and lodges across Africa

Walking with elephants

An elephant safari is an uplifting experience that offers a newfound appreciation of elephants, and providing a more personal and deeper understanding of these gentle giants.

Great Wildebeest Migration

The endless plains of East Africa bear witness to the great annual migration of over a million wildebeest and zebra as they make their way between Kenya and Tanzania in search of fresh grazing pastures.
