Galapagos Safari Camp

Enter the land roamed by wild giant tortoises, right on the borders of the Galapagos National park, this lodge is small by design and exclusive by definition. Staying in Galapagos Safari Lodge is an opportunity to become immersed in the unseen areas of the Galapagos, away from the ocean but no further from nature. 

This family-owned camp is ideally located, private and far from any crowds. It’s the perfect base for those seeking a more off-the-beaten-track experience of the Galapagos islands, or indeed those who want to become familiar with the raw nature that has been a marvel for centuries.

African-style tents are entirely surrounded by lush vegetation, however there is no compromise on stunning views across miles of Santa Cruz. This destination is all about slower paces, intimacy with nature, and warm sincere family-orientated hospitality. 

The lodge is positioned on the rim of an extinct volcanic cone, which went on to inspire the property’s design. The arc greets the sun in the morning to the east, and the light lasts right until the end of the day. 

Days at Galapagos Safari Lodge are spent out on safari, following the trails of the Galapagos tortoise, visiting the Charles Darwin Research Centre, heading out on a smaller vessel to explore uninhabited islands overflowing with wildlife. 

When you return for a lazy afternoon, enjoy a dip in the plunge pool and take a nap beneath moss laden trees. As the bright sunlight of the equator fades, follow the trail to the rustic viewpoint to see the orange light turn magenta. 

Evenings spent with a warming drink by a crackling fireplace, as the stars light the sky is the perfect end to a day at the Galapagos Safari Camp. This is the ideal spot for beginnings and ends to a Galapagos adventure.
