How to Vote for Silvan Safari in the World Travel Awards 2026

The World Travel Awards has named Silvan Safari both Africa's Leading Luxury Lodge and South Africa's Leading Luxury Lodge eight consecutive years running.

No wonder, our guests do reflect on their stay with great enthusiasm:

"The icing on the cake was the ultimate night viewing of leopard feeding in a tree."

"This was my sixth visit and each time it's like coming home."

"Our last night at the lodge they even had a bubble bath and candles all set up in our room when we returned from our game drive. Was the best vacation we will probably ever go on."

It is not just about incredible sightings. Nor is it merely about the food, the suites, or the gin bar, although our guests have plenty to say about all of those too. It is about the consistent delivery of unforgettable experiences.

In 2026 we are nominated for both titles again. To win, we need your vote. It takes three minutes. Here's how.
