About

The Origin

“Khaya” — meaning home in languages like Zulu, Xhosa, Swati, and Ndebele — is more than just a word. It’s a feeling. And with Khaya Escape, home becomes the starting point of unforgettable adventures.

Our Philosophy

Each staycation is an experience in itself.
More than just a bed for the night, every Khaya Escape is built around a signature moment tied to the spirit of the place.

Hotels, lodges, safaris: unique experiences

We select the most inspiring establishments – from the arty boutique hotel to the lodge nestled in the savannah – to offer you an unforgettable escape, whether for a night, a weekend or just a few hours.
