WHY IT RATES: OutsideAgents has partnered with Hippo Lakes Luxury Lodge in South Africa's Waterberg region to support rhino conservation through luxury travel. This partnership funds anti-poaching units to protect rhinos, combining travel experiences with conservation efforts. 


OutsideAgents is proud to announce a new philanthropic partnership with Hippo Lakes Luxury Lodge, an exclusive safari resort located in South Africa’s Waterberg region as part of the company’s new Passport to Giving initiative. This strategic collaboration bridges luxury travel and Rhino preservation, dedicating resources to protect rhino populations within the private reserve. Through this program, OutsideAgents will directly assist with funding Hippo Lakes' on-the-ground anti-poaching units necessary to safeguard these majestic creatures.  

'Travel has the power to transform not just the traveler, but the destinations they touch, said Steve Muraca, President, OutsideAgents. “Partnering with Hippo Lakes allows our advisors to offer an unparalleled luxury safari experience while actively contributing to the survival of one of Africa's most endangered species. It's luxury travel with a profound purpose.”

Hippo Lakes Luxury Lodge is renowned for its immersive eco-luxury experiences, featuring elegantly appointed tented suites set along the edge of a wildlife lake. Beyond offering top-tier hospitality and guided game drives, the lodge serves as a crucial sanctuary for over 100 wildlife species.

Martin Deacon, President & CEO, Hippo Lakes stated “Protecting rhinos requires continuous effort and global awareness. We are thrilled that OutsideAgents has committed to our conservation mission while we continue to welcome travelers to the raw beauty of Hippo Lakes to enjoy these beautiful animals.”
