Kaelo Destinations brings together a growing collection of places defined by natural beauty, authenticity & purpose.
Beginning with Mashatu Game Reserve in Botswana and Pambele Beach House in Mozambique – two remote and pristine destinations known for their unique African magic.
The name Kaelo is derived from the Setswana word meaning “to guide,” “guardian,” or “to nurture” — a reflection of our ethos to lead travellers and partners on a journey of care, respect and inspiration for the land and its people.
The word Destinations signifies where we are heading. The start of a growing collection of extraordinary travel experiences and places around the world that share the same purpose and sense of awakening.
A hidden gem situated in eastern Botswana, Mashatu Game Reserve consists of 42,000 hectares of privately owned land. A safari experience shaped by intimacy, discovery, and exclusivity. Renowned for unrivalled big cat and predator sightings, large elephant herds, vast untouched landscapes, and sustainable tourism.
A privately-owned, exclusive-use beach house located in the Bazaruto Archipelago, within the Vilanculos Coastal Wildlife Sanctuary on the San Sebastián Peninsula. Offering barefoot luxury, desired privacy, and tailored experiences for multi-generational families and small groups along pristine shores and surrounded by untouched wilderness.
Founded under the vision of Maggie and Stephen Lansdown CBE — entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and passionate conservationists – the collection is built on values of conservation-first tourism, authentic experiences, and community upliftment.
From the ancient sandstone ridges and riverine forests of Mashatu Game Reserve in Botswana’s Tuli Block (known as the Land of Giants) — to the secluded Indian Ocean sanctuary of Pambele Mozambique in the Bazaruto Archipelago, each destination tells its own story of renewal and connection.
Looking ahead, Kaelo Destinations will unveil new journeys, new destinations, and new ways to experience meaningful travel. We invite you to journey with us as we curate a portfolio of places and experiences that redefine what extraordinary travel should be.
