GALAPAGOS SAFARIS

Galapagos Safari Camp - a luxury nature experience

YOUR HOME IN THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS

The Camp Experience

Inspired by the African safari model, Galapagos Safari Camp is designed for those who value authenticity over opulence, simplicity over excess and luxury as enrichment rather than embellishment.

More than just a base for exploration, it is a place to slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience the rhythm of these legendary islands, made famous by Charles Darwin nearly two centuries ago.

OUR CAMP

CANVAS COCOONS

Immersed in nature

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. The Galapagos stirs—ancient, otherworldly, and teeming with life—inviting you to rise and embrace a new day of discovery …

ACCOMMODATION

PERSONALIZED

Authentic Hospitality

Founded on a romantic impulse, Galapagos Safari Camp was created by Michael Mesdag and Stephanie Bonham-Carter more as a lifestyle choice than a business venture. Passionate about the islands, they wanted to share their own experience of the Galapagos—its landscapes, wildlife, and quiet rhythms—by crafting journeys that felt both appropriate to and respectful of the destination.

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.

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.
