Nestled in the giant tortoise reserve of Santa Cruz Island, guests at the Galapagos Safari Camp are intimately close to nature without sacrificing any of the comforts that well-healed travelers expect. The camp is the perfect base to explore the archipelago: our all-encompassing safaris offer a blend of land and marine experiences, allowing for numerous and varied wildlife encounters with the Galapagos flagship species. We are small and flexible by design, and exclusive by definition.

The property is set in a 55-hectare farm bordering the Galapagos national park. Accommodation includes a family suite and nine canvas tents, all raised by wooden platforms and housing spacious, elegant interiors. The discreetly-designed main lodge boasts striking views of the park, coastline and outer islands, with a cosy library, fireplace and lounge bar. In the dining room you can sample our carefully crafted farm to table dishes. Below the main lodge sits an infinity pool, great for cooling off whilst still admiring the surrounding landscape and wildlife. The viewpoint is an ideal spot for private meals and cocktails with unforgettable sunsets.
