For decades, the most exclusive safari lodges in Southern Africa seemed reserved for international travellers — with international price tags to match. But that is changing fast.
Today, SADC residents can access special regional rates at some of the most sought-after lodges across Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Mozambique’s Benguerra Island. These reduced prices — often billed in South African Rand — make authentic, world-class safaris more accessible than ever before.
At Made in Africa Tours & Safaris, our long-standing relationships with over 35 lodge partners in Botswana alone give you insider access to the best pricing, availability, and personalised support.
Why Botswana Should Be First on Your List
Botswana has always set the gold standard in high-end, low-impact safaris — and now, SADC residents can enjoy the same five-star wilderness experiences that once felt out of reach.
With more than 35 trusted partner lodges across the Delta, Khwai, Savuti, Linyanti, and the Central Kalahari, we can tailor a journey that suits your style and budget — without sacrificing the wild luxury Botswana is known for.
Expect:
Iconic game viewing (lions, leopards, wild dogs, elephants, and more)
Remote camps in pristine concessions
All-inclusive packages with flights, transfers, guiding, meals, and more
ZAR pricing and exclusive SADC resident rates
Zambia: The Home of the Walking Safari
Zambia remains one of Africa’s most rewarding and authentic safari destinations. As the birthplace of the walking safari, it offers immersive, intimate wildlife encounters guided by some of the continent’s best-trained professionals.
From the remote wilderness of North and South Luangwa to canoe safaris on the Lower Zambezi, Zambia delivers dramatic scenery, rich biodiversity, and world-class guiding.
With new SADC resident rates, Zambia’s top-tier lodges are now more affordable than ever — giving you access to one of Africa’s last truly wild frontiers.
Namibia: The Art of Isolation
If you crave solitude and stark beauty, Namibia delivers in every way. From the towering dunes of Sossusvlei to the ancient riverbeds of Kaokoland and the Skeleton Coast’s raw edge, Namibia is unlike anywhere else.
SADC rates now make luxury camps like Hoanib Valley Camp and Serra Cafema more accessible, offering remote luxury with a strong focus on conservation and culture — and far fewer crowds.
Zimbabwe: Wild and Authentic
Zimbabwe’s national parks — Hwange, Mana Pools, and the Zambezi Valley — offer some of Africa’s richest game viewing and most respected guides.
Now, SADC residents can access premier camps at discounted rates. This is raw, rewarding safari — without the crowds seen in more commercial destinations, and with some of the most experienced guides on the continent.
