绿色而甜美：非洲15大令人惊奇的生态旅馆 [美国媒体]

Green and luscious: 15 amazing eco-lodges around Africa

非洲15大令人惊奇的生态旅馆



Greystoke Mahale， Tanzania

坦桑尼亚，玛哈拉山

位于坦噶尼喀湖与翠绿的马尔哈山脉之间，这里还是非洲黑猩猩最重要的栖息地。酒店内的装修也颇具特色，棕榈叶盖成屋顶，由废弃船只上的木材则制作成家具。



Grootbos Private Nature Reserve, South Africa

南非：大森林私人自然保护区

The Lutzeyer family bought an overused dairy farm in the scrublands of the southern Cape about 20 years ago, 'for the view,' admits current patriarch Michael. Today, Grootbos is world-renowned as a botanical wonderland, and the family is using its seemingly bottomless energies and resources on various ecological and social development projects.

这里曾是一家废弃的奶厂，因为地理位置优越，于20年前被卢蔡尔家族收购。如今，这里成为了世界闻名的植物天堂，无尽的自然资源是酒店最大的卖点。



Serra Cafema Camp, Namibia

纳米比亚：塞拉 卡菲玛营地

The Himba people, who live along the Kunene River, are tending cattle and goats in the Namib Desert with hardly one recognizable modern amenity of possession. It was a female elder of their clan who dared to set up a safari company in the region in order to benefit her people. And so it was, and so it is that Serra Cafema is maybe the most other-worldly safari lodge on the planet.

居住在库内内河畔的辛巴族至今还保持着母系社会的风俗，他们靠圈养牛羊为生，几乎与世隔绝。入住位于辛巴族的领地内的Serra Cafema Camp，即能体会原始部落的风俗文明。



Desert Rhino Camp，Namibia

纳米比亚：沙漠犀牛营地

Curious that the last secure stronghold of the black rhino should be found in a harsh, stony desert right on the edge of its environmental tolerance. More amazing is the fact that this place, Damaraland, does not comprise formal game reserves but community conservancies that -- in this case -- are in partnership with Wilderness Safaris.

酒店位于非洲黑犀牛保护区内。不同于一般自然保护区中严酷的环境，这里完美体现了人与自然的大和谐。



Singita Grumeti,Tanzania

坦桑尼亚：Grumeti辛吉塔酒店

Some of the lodges in the Serengeti ecosystem, where an American hedge fund tycoon created a private game reserve, can be described as ostentatiously opulent (a sheik would be happy to sleep in the stables, someone once observed), but the fact that the Grumeti reserve extends the viable migration area by some 150,000 hectares is one of Africa greatest recent conservation successes.

塞伦盖蒂自然保护区是由一位富商建成的私人动物保护区，所以位于该地的Signita Grumeti也可谓是极尽奢华，让人无法想象这竟然位于狂野原始的非洲。



Leshiba Wilderness , South Africa

南非：乐士巴威尔德内斯山林小屋

Tucked into a fold of the Soutpansberg Mountains in the far north of the country, Leshiba is a lodge that is of, for and by the people. The place feels as if it grew out of the surrounding rocks and earth. It is set among the foundations of an old Venda village and its owners employed famous Venda artist and sculptor Noria Mabasa to build the lodge. The result was fantastic.

酒店地处难潘斯堡山脉间的河谷处，一个古老的文达族村落中，且由着名的文达族雕塑艺术家Noria Mabasa 设计建造。尽管看起来似乎与周围岩石林立的地貌相格格不入，酒店立志于为住客提供全心全意以人为本的入住体验。



Little Makalolo，Zimbabwe

津巴布韦：Little Makalolo

Very often it is the things you don't see that make all the difference, and so it is with Little Makalolo that sits in big game country of Hwange National Park. Although the lodge itself is all canvas and timber, the fact that the lodge supports not only the surrounding communities but, pretty much keeps the entire national park viable.

酒店全由帆布与木材建造，位于大型动物保护区内，收入支撑起整个国家公园的长期发展。



Meno A Kwena, Botswana

博茨瓦纳: Meno A Kwena

This family-run lodge lies under a riverine canopy on the Boteti River, one of northern Botswana's so-called "miracle rivers." The lodge has the lightest of footprints -- its lounge roof is a parachute.

这家颇具特色的家庭旅馆漂浮在博泰蒂河上，可谓是世界上最轻的酒店了——房顶仅由一张降落伞布构成。



Mombo Lodge , Botswana

博茨瓦纳: 暹粒家庭式酒店

Mombo is not only the flagship of Wilderness Safaris, but it has become arguably the most must-visit safari lodge in Africa -- that's not because it is overly luxurious but because the game viewing there is so exceptional. It is also where, progressively, this  safari company rolls out its newest and best environmental practices and technologies.

这里被评为“非洲最值得一去的野生动物园客栈”，可谓是非洲“漫游荒野”系列项目中的旗舰，将现代奢华与原始风光完美地结合在了一起。



Wolwedans Private Game Reserve，Namibia

纳米比亚: Wolwedans Private Game Reserve

When he saw marginal stock farmers denuding the once game-rich plains of the southern Namib, Windhoek businessman Albi Bruckner began using the so-called family silver buying up denuded farmlands in order to support natural game. Today, Wolwedans Private Game Reserve is one of Namibia's crown jewels, harboring several safari lodges that comply extremely strict environmental specifications

这片保护区是 一个名叫 Albi Bruckner富豪的私人财产，他痛心于纳米比亚曾经肥沃的土地逐渐贫瘠，便购买了这片土地。如今，这个私人的动物保护区内有数家野生动物园客栈。Wolwedans Private Game Reserve就是其中的帐篷酒店。



Natureways Canoe Trails, ZambeziRiver

赞比西河: Natureways Canoe Trails

It could be argued that nature trails have the lightest footprint of all safari options, and none less so than Natureways -- the place is run by the extremely bush-wise James Varden, one of that rare breed of Zimbabwean professional guides who blend bush savvy with an urbane sensibility.

由津巴布韦的一名专业导游经营，Natureways Canoe Trails完美融合了丛林的狂野与现代文明的感性。



Singita Pamushana Lodge, Zimbabwe

津巴布韦: Singita Pamushana Lodge

When our 'Africa's Finest' book came out, everyone asked us how did we include this lodge since we wrote that it spares no carbon molecule to ensure its guests enjoy 'unsurpassed luxury.' To that we answered: 'when that lodge feeds 20,000 poor schoolchildren every day of the year, as but one strategy to secure their futures, you can overlook a few generators, rim-flow plunge pools and mini-bars in the interests of the greater good.

这家酒店看似没有任何特色，甚至有些简陋。但每年资助2万多名贫困学生就是它最大的特点。



Sangha Camp，Central African Republic

中非共和国： Sangha营地

Professional birder Rob Cassidy is a surprisingly mild and amiable host in the jungle. Merely to keep a lodge going here is remarkable, the lodge helps support a vast rainforest reserve as well as the local Ba'aka (Pygmy) communities. The experience is like watching a scintillating all-day wildlife movie.

店主Rob Cassidy是一位专业猎鸟者，经营的这家酒店支撑着整片雨林和俾格米部落的发展。入住Sangha 营地，与和蔼亲切店主交谈，每一天仿佛都在欣赏一部妙趣横生的野外纪录片。



Tafika Camp，Zambia

赞比亚：Tafika 营地

Remote Africa is a most apt name for the family-run company that operated these two lodges in the Luangwa Valley, far as you like from the madding crowds. These timber, reed and thatch lodges use solar power and bucket showers, and they fund conservation and community projects up and down this very remote and rustic valley deep in the African bush.

“与世隔绝”是这家酒店的最佳代名词。地处卢安瓜谷地，一间间用木材、芦苇和茅草盖成的小屋，酒店没有太多的现代设施，只是利用太阳能，客人甚至还得用木桶打水洗澡。来这里，体验非洲丛林中的质朴生活。



Camp Nomade, Chad

乍得：流浪者营地
