2010 - 5 Gold Stars
More than 25 000 readers of Condé Nast Traveler (US) recently voted for their 681 favourite hotels, resorts and cruise lines in the 16th annual Gold List of the World’s Best Places to Stay.

In the Best by Design category, &Beyond Phinda Private Game Reserve earned the #2 spot in all of Africa and the Middle East.
2010 - World's Greatest Hotels, Resorts and Spas
&Beyond Xudum Okavango Delta Lodge is included in the 2010 Edition of Travel+Leisure’s World’s Greatest Hotels, Resorts and Spas. Referred to as “the iconoclastic new kid in town”, Xudum is hailed for its “part-land, part-water experience on a wildlife reserve that’s one of the largest in any permanent African Delta.” The article makes special mention of Xudum’s nine suites that are “furnished with canopied platform beds, freestanding porcelain tubs, and recycled side tables crafted, astonishingly enough, from rubber tires and beer cans.”
