“We are delighted that both of our safari camps have been recognised by an Condé Nast Traveler. As a proudly Tanzanian owned, home grown collection, this is a wonderful achievement, especially as Warangi Ridge has only just celebrated its first year of operation!
Asante Sana to our whole team on the ground for which none of this would have been possible - and a sincere thank you to every guest and trade partner that supported us and voted! It is truly appreciated”
— Jo Oosterhuis, The Wilderness Collection
The 2026 Readers' Choice Awards are published on Condé Nast Traveler's website at cntraveler.com/rca and will be celebrated in the November 2026 issue.
Warangi Ridge is also very proud to have been shortlisted, in its first year of operation, for the World Luxury Hotel Award - so please watch this space!
