This was my third time using the incredible services and unique properties of Global Basecamps. For my most recent trip to South Africa, I wanted a unique Kruger safari experience, but didn't have the budget for the higher-end Kruger safaris. Our travel specialist booked us a walking safari that was so incredibly priced we were able to afford an additional excursion to one of South Africa's smaller game parks. The walking safari was top notch and the accommodations were awesome. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and passionate about the wildlife. Viewing game on foot without twenty other vehicles with tons of gawking tourists and cameras going off is such a special treat. Thank you Global Basecamps for another incredible experience!
SwaSwara
Gokarna, India
Prices From: $185 per person
Swa' is the Sanskrit prefix for the self. And 'Swara' refers to sound. We live unaware of the inner sound of our being, drowned out as it is by the din of daily life.
Only when everything else quiets down and we are at peace, can we hear it.
That's why we've made sure that the shouts of the modern world die down to whispers at SwaSwara.
Imagine a breeze-laden clifftop overlooking the legendary Om beach, not far from the ancient temple town of Gokarna.
Imagine too, 26 undulating acres of land, dotted with coconut groves and paddy fields.Yet, playing host to a mere 27 secluded villas, tucked away between lawns and flowering shrubs.
There is little at SwaSwara, apart from the rhythm of rolling waves and the meditative hum of birdsong, to disturb your inner explorations.
Pathways here, lead not just to the silent woods...But into spaces within your soul.
Perhaps, as you stand on the sands of infinity and let your intuition wander into the wildernes...you may find yourself ready to embrace every vulnerability.
That is exactly why SwaSwara took birth. To lead you to yourself.

Client Testimonials
John, Custom South African Safari
My trip was awesome! I trekked Mt. Kilimanjaro and what an experience! Everyday it either rained--drops as big as dinner plates--snowed, hailed, ice storm--the night we made it to the summit--the wind blew and generally we had cold weather, but I made it to the summit! That is what my goal was and the weather wasn't going to stop me. The guides were exceptional--Ronald. He told me he would get me to the summit and he did! The support staff were wonderful and the cook--excellent! He even had a cake for me at the end of the trek. It was a perfect trip--memories for a lifetime. Thanks to Meagan for all the planning she did to make my trip exceptional.
