A&K Sanctuary is our own collection of chic retreats in some of the most sensational, soul-stirring locations on earth – 13 luxury safari lodges and camps in wildlife-rich corners of Africa (from the Serengeti to the Okavango Delta), and six sophisticated riverboats exploring the Nile and the Peruvian Amazon.
For an unforgettable safari experience, choose from our properties across Africa – or even create a bespoke multi-stop trip. In Kenya, our portfolio includes Olonana Lodge and Tambarare Camp (Masai Mara) and Kitirua Plains Lodge (opening in Amboseli in 2026). In Tanzania, we offer Swala Camp (Tarangire) and Kichakani Camp (Serengeti); in Botswana Chief’s Camp and Baines’ Lodge unlock the wonders of the Okavango Delta. Sussi & Chuma Lodge welcomes guests to Zambia’s Victoria Falls and Okahirongo Elephant Lodge is set in the desert of Namibia. Completing our African collection is Gorilla Forest Lodge, deep in the forests of Bwindi in Uganda.
For chic cruising on the Nile, A&K Sanctuary’s fleet includes Zein Nile Chateau, a six-suite traditional dahabiya, the sleek styling of Nile Adventurer and Nile Seray (launching in late 2026), plus boutique river cruisers Sun Boat III and Sun Boat IV. Pure Amazon was launched in 2025 as a luxury riverboat exploring the Peruvian Amazon Basin.

A&K Sanctuary Riverboats in Egypt and Peru
Our A&K Sanctuary riverboats are renowned as being the most sophisticated on the Nile, with the most experienced crew in the business. Since 2025 our expertise extends to the Peruvian Amazon with the state-of-the-art Pure Amazon.
Our portfolio of A&K Sanctuary riverboats, safari camps and lodges now spans eight countries in Africa and South America.
A&K Philanthropy
A commitment to conservation and responsible tourism is in A&K Sanctuary’s DNA. When we opened our first camp in Kenya's Maasai Mara in 1999, we pledged to make a positive impact on the areas in which we operate and to nurture enduring collaborative relationships with the communities that live in those places. As we’ve grown, we’ve continued to honour and extend that commitment.
OUR PEOPLE
Get to Know the A&K Sanctuary Family
Jackson Keiwua, General Manager
Born and raised in Narok County, Kenya, Jackson came to Sanctuary 16 years ago as a sous-chef. It soon became clear that his talents extended far beyond the kitchen, and when Tambarare Camp opened in 2022, he was appointed Camp Manager and subsequently General Manager. His love of the place deepens with every passing season; he speaks of it as his second home.
Beatrice Arabang, General Manager
Having joined A&K Sanctuary in 2006 as a spa therapist at Chobe Chilwero Lodge, our property on the edge of Chobe National Park, she eventually found herself overseeing the management of all A&K Sanctuary spas in Botswana. She was subsequently appointed General Manager at Chobe Chilwero Lodge and is now the General Manager of the newly rebuilt Baines' Lodge.
Emmanuel Pareso, General Manager
A member of the A&K Sanctuary family for more than a decade, Arusha-born Emmanuel joined us first at Swala Camp before being appointed General Manager of our mobile Kichakani Camp. The reason why he loves it is the reason why his guests love it too: “We are always in the perfect location to experience the Great Migration or the calving season.”
Joseph Mshana, Camp Manager
Practically a local boy (having been born and raised in the Kilimanjaro region), as well as part of the Sanctuary furniture (having joined us in 2008), Joseph became General Manager at Ngorongoro Crater Camp in 2022. He loves the landscapes and wildlife of Tanzania. Like his favourite animal, the giraffe, he is a distinctive, wise and heartwarming presence around camp.
