Galapagos Safari Camp - a luxury nature experience

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE

Unfiltered Wilderness

Located in the highlands of Santa Cruz Island, our elevated tented Camp overlooks the Galapagos National Park and ocean beyond, placing you within the nature you have traveled so far to experience.

Giant tortoises roam the property. Endemic birds inhabit the trees. Wildlife is not confined to guided excursions or binoculars. It is part of daily life here, often quite literally on your doorstep.

OUR CAMP

CANVAS COCOONS

Sleep Closer to Nature

With just nine Safari Tents and one Family Suite, our accommodation offers space, seclusion, and comfort that complements the landscape rather than competes with it.

Drift to sleep under a sky ablaze with stars, the occasional hoot of a hunting barn owl echoing through the night air. Wake to the soft hues of dawn as the first light filters through the trees and the Camp comes alive with the gentle calls of mockingbirds and warblers.

ACCOMMODATION

A LIFESTYLE CHOICE

Family-Owned and Run

Galapagos Safari Camp was created by Michael Mesdag and Stephanie Bonham-Carter and remains family-owned and run.

Founded on a romantic impulse, it has always been as much a way of life as a business. Their aim was to share their own experience of the Galapagos, crafting journeys that feel personal, appropriate, and respectful of the destination.

As an alternative to cruises and large group travel, they shaped the Camp for travelers who value flexibility, customised itineraries, privacy, and a more authentic setting.

Press Reviews

FT HOW TO SPEND IT
High up in the hills of Santa Cruz, the camp has something rather magical about it.
LUCIA VAN DER POST
TATLER
This place is a one-off: a dashing cockscomb of comfort and style atop a 400-metre ridge in the highlands of Santa Cruz… be careful not to trip over the meandering tortoises.
TATLER
EVENING STANDARD
An inventive nightly tasting menu from the on-site organic farm or nearby sea was easily the best food we ate on the islands.
