Hello TravelLetters.com,

Lions don’t belong behind fences. Neither do elephants, leopards, or the wild places they call home.

This World Lion Day, we’re reminded why it matters to keep Africa’s wild ecosystems open and untamed – not just for the lions and other wildlife, but for how it feels to be part of something real and profoundly alive.

We shine a spotlight on our favourite unfenced lodges, set in Africa’s most breathtaking wild spaces – where wildlife roams freely through camp and each morning begins with nature right on your doorstep.

Because when you choose to stay deep in Africa’s wild heart, your journey becomes part of something far greater – helping to keep the land untamed, the wildlife protected, and the magic alive for generations to come.

22 Lodges Where Nature Comes To You

Imagine stepping onto your deck at sunrise and seeing elephants wander past. Or watching zebras graze just beyond your tent without barriers between you and the wild. At these handpicked lodges, the wilderness isn’t something you drive out to see… it comes to you.

No fences. No crowds. Just open land, quiet mornings, and the thrill of spotting wildlife from your veranda. From the Okavango Delta to the Serengeti, these are places where Africa feels most alive – and where your presence helps protect what makes it so.

Celebrating World Lion Day

🦁 Lions are one of the most unforgettable parts of an African safari. Majestic, powerful, and awe-inspiring, they’re often the moment travellers say they felt the true magic of the wild.

But what many don’t realise is how vulnerable these iconic animals have become.

This World Lion Day (10 August), we’re proud to support the Endangered Wildlife Trust, whose hands-on conservation work is helping ensure future travellers can experience that same sense of wonder. From GPS tracking and field research to supporting local communities living alongside big cats, their efforts are safeguarding lions in the very places you may one day explore.

And here’s where you come in.

When you travel with Go2Africa, your safari becomes more than just an unforgettable holiday – it becomes part of protecting what makes Africa wild and extraordinary. Where you go, where you stay, and who you support makes a tangible difference to the future of wildlife and the people who share their land with it.

👇 Watch our video to see how your journey can help keep the roar alive – for today’s Africa, and tomorrow’s travellers.

What Our Travellers Say

“We wanted to experience Africa, but where to start? Planning an itinerary without on-the-ground knowledge is a dice roll at best.

So I researched and found a Cape Town company that checked all our boxes: Go2Africa. They listened attentively to our wants and needs and provided a detailed itinerary tailored to us. It ended up being a 15-day tour that included Cape Town, a luxury safari camp, Victoria Falls, and Johannesburg.

All transfers and internal flights were included. Accommodations were excellent. Many memories and photos were captured.”

– Neil Glennie
