Aman—synonymous with ultra-luxury and tranquil hideaways—has just announced an exciting new chapter in its legacy of extraordinary destinations: the unveiling of Aman Karingani, the brand’s very first safari retreat in Africa. Set within the vast, unspoilt wilderness of Mozambique’s 150,000-hectare Karingani Game Reserve, Aman Karingani promises to redefine safari luxury in the region and deliver an experience like no other.
Nestled alongside an 84-kilometre stretch of the legendary Kruger National Park, the Karingani Game Reserve rivals Africa’s most iconic safari locations. The reserve’s landscape—ranging from wide-open savannahs, rolling woodlands to seasonal wetlands—is a haven for an incredible variety of wildlife. Perched on an elevated site with endless panoramic views framed by distant mountains, Aman Karingani is designed to offer guests a sensory journey through the wild landscapes of southern Mozambique.
Unmatched Privacy and Comfort in the Wild
Reflecting Aman‘s iconic aesthetic and devotion to privacy, Aman Karingani will feature just 30 standalone pavilions—each a one or two-bedroom haven—spaced widely for the utmost seclusion. Every pavilion opens onto expansive covered decks with private pools, affording uninterrupted views over the horizon. For those seeking a deeper sense of belonging, a very limited collection of three-to six-bedroom branded residences offers the ultimate opportunity to fully embrace the Aman lifestyle, complete with all the exclusive amenities and stellar personalised service the brand is known for.
At the heart of the resort is a central lodge boasting a serene outdoor swimming pool, inviting guests to relax with vistas sweeping across the escarpment. Dining at Aman Karingani is set to be a culinary adventure, with signature restaurant concepts and local flavours presented fireside under the stars.
A Holistic Retreat for Mind, Body and Soul
Embracing Aman’s renowned approach to wellbeing, the resort will house a world-class Aman Spa. Here, guests can reconnect mind and body with wellness facilities and treatments designed to foster rejuvenation and a profound sense of connection to the surrounding wilderness.
“Bringing Aman’s ethos of timeless elegance, unparalleled service, and profound privacy to Mozambique is a significant milestone for the brand,” said Vlad Doronin, Chairman and CEO of Aman Group. “Aman Karingani is our answer to the growing desire for a transformative, ultra-luxury safari retreat in Africa—a space where nature, wildlife, and Aman’s signature style of living combine in perfect harmony.”
Transformative Luxury on Africa’s Untamed Frontier
With its grand scale, breathtaking scenery and deep commitment to preservation, Aman Karingani is set to attract globetrotters seeking rare adventure with all the comforts of home. The announcement marks Aman’s second foray into Africa after Amanjena in Marrakech and expands the brand’s promise of transformative, deeply personal experiences to a new wild frontier.
For those dreaming of unrivalled privacy, breathtaking wildlife, and the next frontier in luxury travel, Aman Karingani is Mozambique’s most anticipated new retreat—setting a bold new benchmark for safaris in Africa’s heartland.
