Trek deep into dense rainforests and you may see mountain gorillas and chimpanzees. Look out for vast herds of elephant, tree-climbing lions and leopards, and thousands of bird species.

You can take in this incredible natural experience with Wildplaces Africa, whose camps and lodges are all intimate, private, unique and situated in vast wilderness areas.

At its recently opened River Station, guests can explore crater lakes, track chimpanzees, find a hyena den, follow lion cubs and watch as elephants parade past the lodge every day, then take to a dhow and sail the waters of the Kazinga Channel.

The River Station is the only accommodation in the entire Kyambura Game Reserve and, with luxuries like private plunge pools and a safari spa, this is a very special addition to the Wildplaces portfolio.
