The 55-hectare farm is on a ridge with magnificent views over the Pacific Ocean and the famous western and northern islands of Isabela, Santiago, Pinzón, Baltra, Rabida, Guy Fawkes and Daphne.
The camp is a family-owned property, managed by a handpicked team, adept at creating Galapagos holidays which take you to far off islands where animals roam free without fear.
Inspired by the magic of African safari camps, our dare-dreaming founders, Michael and Stephanie Mesdag, have brought the Safari tradition to the tropics, introducing a new concept for genuine Galapagos Islands travel.
The stylish central lodge is perched on a hill with panoramic views from its spacious veranda. The open-plan interior draws the eye to the islands scattered on the horizon below. Lodge facilities include main lodge, family suite, luxury tents, infinity pool.
The Galapagos Safari Camp menu offers a nightly journey across Ecuadorian cuisine and beyond, with local recipes and traditional dishes re-imagined with refined simplicity, using locally-sourced products whenever possible. A carefully-curated wine list offers a tour of South American wines to complement the experience.
Think quinoa pesto salad with roasted carrots, vegetables & yogurt… Grouper in an Ecuadorian coastal-style coconut sauce… Wahoo ceviche with sweet-potato cubes… Pork leg, marinated in beer, lemon and butter, roasted, accompanied by a passion fruit sauce, steamed corn in a leaf, avocado and spicy pickle…
The nine luxury tents at Galapagos Safari Camp are located closely below the central lodge. They are erected above the ground on wooden platforms and are sheltered by three protective layers, one specifically for the sun, another one for the rain and an inner sealed canvas shell forms the bedrooms.
Their interiors are comfortable and spacious. The private bathrooms are tastefully designed with hot power showers and flush toilets. All tents have a large balcony with a hammock and chairs from which to take in the enchanting view.
Land-based safari programs have no fixed dates and are operated largely on a private basis and designed to provide a broad experience in the Galapagos that is not repetitive, avoids long transit times and is full of engaging and fun educational experiences.
There is a a core group of hand-picked naturalist guides to lead this special safari. Since this program is operated privately, there is no concern over group dynamics and there is plenty of flexibility on excursion start or end times.
Each of the land-based programs is distinct, meeting a variety of travel preferences. This is an ideal selection for those who do not like the restrictions of a live-aboard trip.
