Botswana is a jewel in the safari-sphere. The Okavango Delta specifically, being a site of true beauty, wonder and contrast, is a place sought after by many.

Arriving at Tengile, we were filled with excitement about being able to explore this new addition to AndBeyond’s portfolio. The entrance catches the eye immediately, as the raw wood and dark metal frames the staircase leading down toward the main area. The unique flooring, which was crafted from the old Selati railway line, and the open space created by the large glass sliding doors, allows you to see an almost endless view down the Sand River.

Staring out of the window as your PC12 aircraft lines up with the airstrip, the red dunes of Sossusvlei become apparent, and the bareness of the desert a reality.

Lions are African icons. They represent all that is powerful and raw, yet unmistakably majestic. I think this is why we have such a fascination with them. They have the ability to change whole ecosystems and are, in fact, pivotal in natural areas where they occur.

As we look back on 2018 and all the wonderful places we have visited and people we have met, we can proudly say that this has been Safari Architects' most rewarding year yet. The team visited over a dozen Southern and East African countries, highlights which speak volumes about the many happy stories and memories created.
