Beyond Green has expanded its portfolio with nine new member properties, adding eight andBeyond lodges in South Africa and Tanzania’s ENVI Sisini Serengeti.
The latest additions strengthen the company’s presence in ecotourism, bringing its collection to over 50 sustainable hotels, resorts, and lodges across 22 countries, as per a press release.
Among the new members, ENVI Sisini Serengeti, which opened in July 2024, stands out as a luxury camp in Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park. The property provides guests with an immersive wildlife experience, offering guided game drives, nature walks, and hot air balloon safaris.
Guests can also participate in conservation efforts, such as the “Adopt a Tree” program, which contributes to habitat restoration. Additionally, cultural engagements like visits to the Ikoma Cultural Center allow travelers to connect with the region’s heritage.
In South Africa, the andBeyond properties added to the Beyond Green collection emphasize conservation-led tourism and community engagement.
andBeyond Phinda Mountain Lodge, located in the Phinda Private Game Reserve, provides access to conservation programs focused on species like cheetahs, black rhinos, and pangolins.
Similarly, andBeyond Phinda Rock Lodge, carved into cliffs overlooking the Zululand Valley, combines luxury with hands-on conservation efforts.
The lodge collaborates with Wild Impact to connect local students with ecotourism through educational programs and game drives.
Other properties, such as andBeyond Phinda Vlei Lodge, andBeyond Phinda Zuka Lodge, and andBeyond Phinda Homestead, provide tailored safari experiences while supporting wildlife research and community-led initiatives.
Sabi Sand Private Nature Reserve also saw two new additions: andBeyond Kirkman’s Kamp, a restored 1920s homestead known for its leopard sightings, and andBeyond Tengile River Lodge, offering access to diverse wildlife and cultural experiences.
The latter allows guests to explore conservation-driven activities while supporting local education and entrepreneurship projects.
With the addition of these properties, Beyond Green continues to promote sustainable tourism by integrating luxury hospitality with environmental stewardship.
These lodges demonstrate a growing market for high-end accommodations that prioritize conservation and community engagement, aligning with evolving traveler expectations.
For operators in the outdoor hospitality sector, these trends signal an increasing demand for eco-conscious experiences that go beyond traditional tourism models.
