Shaping the future careers of Africa’s leading talent, Today.

Our story begins with three friends who share a passion for travel and a desire to discover new places. We set out to create a new hospitality model, partnering with private landowners to gain access to never-before-experienced locations. There is no better way to see new places, breathtaking views and untouched nature than by escaping to secluded havens. And so Stay Unique™was born. An innovative ecotourism startup offering unique and thrilling getaways in and around South Africa. Our business model is built on the foundations of creating new revenue streams for our landowner partners whilst simultaneously providing people with access to previously inaccessible sites. At SU, we are purpose over profit-driven. While our future will be about expanding our offerings to include new categories such as trails, camps, retreats, and luxury eco-lodges, our fundamental goal is to contribute to the growth of eco and agri-tourism in our connected regions, benefiting and positively impacting, people and places wherever we go. Travelling far and wide, we’ve searched for sanctuaries to match our design vision. Locations where the views are panoramic and skies clear. Free of city noise, smog and car horns. Where you can immerse yourself in nature and enjoy the comforts of our thoughtfully designed spaces. We can guarantee that your stay will be nothing short of unique. Because at SU, we believe that luxury is the location.
