Conservation-led luxury travel company andBeyond marked its 30th anniversary by launching a series of limited-edition itineraries designed to highlight its commitment not only to the preservation of wildlife and the environment, but also to educating travellers on the role of sustainable travel in conservation.
The collection of experiences launched includes a glimpse of South Africa’s magnificent marine phenomenon, the Sardine Run, as well as an insider’s view of some of the most significant conservation projects in Argentina, the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of a lion translocation that reversed a local extinction in Rwanda, getting to know about tiger conservation in India to discovering the origins of Botswana’s famed Okavango Delta and learning the art of guiding andBeyond-style while exploring the Serengeti on foot.
Led by andBeyond’s top conservation experts, all journeys are once-off bucket adventures scheduled to take place in 2022.
andBeyond’s all-time favourites in Tanzania’s Western Corridor, andBeyond Grumeti Serengeti Tented Camp, is undergoing an extensive rebuild to emerge as andBeyond Grumeti Serengeti River Lodge. With interior design by Fox Browne Creative and architectural design by Jack Alexander, the rebuild will utilise the existing footprint of the former structure to redefine the classical tented camp look in a form that will least impact the natural landscape. Reinventing the traditional safari tent, the new lodge will be even more luxurious and contemporary, while retaining the rustic and tactile nature of the original camp.
As with all andBeyond projects, sustainability will be key in the rebuild and the new lodge will include a 130kWh solar system, which will allow it to run on 80% renewable energy. An extended selection of new guest experiences is being developed in time for its launch on 6 June 2022.
These will combine with the rich resident wildlife of this remote corner of the Serengeti, as well as the lodge’s ideal location for experiencing the thrilling river crossing and vast herds of the Great Migration.
