Aman Unveils First African Retreat: An Ultra-Luxury Safari Sanctuary in Mozambique

Aman has long set the standard for creating sanctuaries that transcend the everyday, timeless retreats defined by peace, privacy, and a seamless connection to nature.

Now, the brand introduces its most extraordinary African debut: Aman Karingani, an exclusive safari resort and collection of branded residences, opening within Mozambique’s vast 150,000-hectare Karingani Game Reserve.

Bordering 84 kilometres of South Africa’s legendary Kruger National Park, Karingani is one of the continent’s most captivating and unspoilt reserves. Its diverse landscapes, spanning sweeping savannahs, rolling woodlands and seasonal wetlands, provide refuge for an extraordinary array of wildlife.

From its elevated vantage point overlooking endless plains and distant mountain ridges, Aman Karingani promises a sensory safari experience unlike any other.

In keeping with Aman’s philosophy of preserving space for the few, the resort will feature just 30 standalone pavilions, each designed with the brand’s signature understated elegance.

Ranging from one- to two-bedroom, the pavilions flow onto expansive decks with private pools and horizon-wide views. For those seeking complete immersion in the Aman lifestyle, a limited number of three- to six-bedroom branded residences will be available, pairing unrivalled seclusion with Aman’s world-renowned service and access to the resort’s elite amenities.

At the heart of the retreat, the central Lodge will offer serene spaces to gather, including an infinity-edge pool overlooking the escarpment. Dining will weave Aman’s signature culinary concepts with local flavours, savoured fireside or beneath the stars.

Wellness is intrinsic to the Aman experience, and the resort’s Aman Spa will offer a holistic sanctuary for restoration, set against the spellbinding backdrop of Mozambique’s wild heart.

Vlad Doronin, Chairman and CEO of Aman Group, describes the unveiling as “a significant milestone for our brand, as we bring Aman’s ethos of timeless elegance, unparalleled service and profound privacy to Mozambique for the first time. Responding to the growing desire from our brand loyalists for an Aman safari retreat in Africa, the property reinforces our commitment to offering transformative experiences, connected to nature, and an ultra-luxury way of living in the world’s most exceptional destinations.”

Marking Aman’s second African destination, following Amanjena in Marrakech, Aman Karingani is set to redefine safari luxury on the continent. With its rare scale, natural diversity, and Aman’s iconic approach to exclusivity, Mozambique’s new jewel promises to become one of the most sought-after destinations for discerning travellers worldwide.
