THE
EXPERIENCE
At Galapagos Safari Camp
we invite you to enjoy
an authentic and fulfilling
Galapagos experience,
surrounded by breathtaking
views and memorable
encounters with wildlife,
all in discreet luxury.
You will be at the crossroads
of exploration, science and
adventure. You will find
a space to reawaken your
senses, reconnect
with nature and renew
your spirit, touched by
the magic only Galapagos
can provide.
We are a family-owned
property. Our daredreaming founders, Michael
and Stephanie Mesdag,
brought this travel tradition
to the Galapagos inspired
by the magic of the
African safari camps.
Bordering the
National Park, in the
Highlands of Santa
Cruz, our tented camp
is seamlessly integrated
with its surroundings.
You will be immersed
in the environment
while our caring team
anticipates and takes
care of your needs.
Delight your eyes with
the view from the main
lodge, spotting an array
of islands dotted in the
horizon below. Relax
in our lounge by the
fireplace while enjoying
a drink and savour our
chef ’s carefully crafted
farm-to-table dishes.
Our nine safari tents are
located below the main
lodge. Their spacious
interiors are designed with
comfort, practicality and
elegance in mind. Imagine
yourself finding a space
that connects you with the
sounds of nature and allows
for a moment of serenity.
Our Family Suite
is ideal for families
who favour a private
and cohesive lodging.
With three bedrooms
and a playroom it is
a perfect hideaway
for parents travelling
with children.
During the summer
holiday our Kid’s Club
opens its doors in the
afternoon so that children
can be engaged in creative
activities while parents
have a moment of rest.
Enjoy a dip in our
infinity pool while you
watch Darwin’s finches
bathing and drinking in
the water by your side.
Our nearby observatory
will delight with stunning
views and sunsets.

Conservation. Our philosophy is
that sustainability should be a choice
based on common sense and love
for nature. The Galapagos Islands’
fragile ecosystems are affected daily
by human presence and tourism.
However, there is a welcome trend
of responsible thinking that helps
balance sustainable development and
protection of the environment. At
Galapagos Safari Camp we set the
standard for responsible practices both
at a human and environmental level.

with our cacao plantation pioneer
