Choosing your accommodation for a dream holiday is by no means an easy feat. Often people are swamped by the multitude of choices on offer, but luckily we are here to help. This page has been designed specifically to help you with your choices. Here we provide you with a comprehensive list of the best camps, lodges and hotels you can visit when booking with us. We highlight the significant differences in accommodation types and what they can offer. Our interactive menu below also allows you to search through each accommodation option, arranged by name, price, location and rating, at your own leisure.
Best Luxury Safari Lodges
With plenty of options to choose from, selecting your safari accommodation isn't easy. Different lodges can offer different experiences depending on what you are after from your holiday. Some lodges will only have small guest occupancy and offer intimate experiences, whereas other camps will cater for larger groups.
Camps can also be mobile meaning that they are not permanent structures and they will relocate depending on the season and where the animals are most likely to be. Due to the accommodation manoeuvring regularly, these camps are normally made up from a number of luxury tents. These tents however, dispel all traditional myths of what may come to mind if you think of camping. Their furnishings are luxurious and all your needs will be met. Their placement is also extra-close to the action and will certainly make you feel more at one with nature. If you have the opportunity to stay in these mobile camps, do it.
Best Beach Hotels
Just like the safari camps, there are many varying options when it comes to accommodation by the beach. Generally the more you pay, the more intimate and luxurious your accommodation will be, however we have options that can cater for all budgets. The beach hotels we offer can either be the base for a perfect romantic getaway or for an ideal adventure and activity filled holiday.
Best Safari Lodges
It is very hard to rank Africa lodges with one simple measure! Our ranking is subjective and tries to reflect value for money as well as overall quality. Therefore we may award just three stars to certain 'five star' lodges in the hotel, or five stars to some superb, unashamed 'three star' hotels that are great value for money.

Our View
Opened in 2024, Tawana is the newest sleek Okavango Delta offering for those who love all the in-camp luxuries. While this camp is in a hugely wildlife-rich area, the famed Moremi Game Reserve, it does not have the seclusion of a private concession, meaning you will see more vehicles here than in other camps of a similar calibre. Saying that though, if you want unmatched wildlife viewing and all the bells and whistles, Tawana is an excellent new offering.

Duke’s East Camp in the Okavango Delta is the more intimate version of Duke’s Camp. It offers all the vintage safari extravagance of Duke’s but just on a smaller scale. It also benefits from the same wildlife-rich area that’s exclusive to these two camps to the west of the Mapula/Sekwana Concession, as all the other camps are located in the east. For those who love interesting decor and an old school safari romance - with a fair little dash of luxury - it’s a brilliant option.

Our View
Duke’s Camp in the Okavango Delta is quite the statement. With its draped canvas, antique silverware and vintage-safari style, staying here will transport you back a fair few decades. It’s all about old school luxury: think three course meals, crystal glasses, and regal furniture, with a slightly modern twist. Decor aside, this camp is an intimate option in a great game-viewing area.

12 Apostles - Cape Town
Our View
Located south of the main drag of Camps Bay the 12 Apostels is a great hotel and is certainly a 5 star property but its the location on the main road and the fact that the hotel is neither in Camps bay or in the city centre make this hotel an odd choice. Overall a good option, but not one of the very best.

236 Hurumzi - Stone Town, Zanzibar
236 Hurumzi – Yes, the rooms are full of character and unique but it is style over quality and is looking quite tired. The sheets didn’t feel or look very new and although the place was clean it didn’t really feel it due to everything looking so worn. East is a unique room and an experience to stay particularly during Ramadan and listening to early morning prayer at 5am! The roof top dinner is more atmospheric than haute cuisine and rather expensive at $25PP compared to eating at one of the restaurants in the town. I know this was our choice and not your recommendation so you probably know all this feedback already and you were right that 1 night in Stone is sufficient. It’s quite sad really how the whole town is falling apart as there are some beautiful buildings - J. Howitt

4 Rivers - Okavango Delta
Our View
4 Rivers is the latest Kwando Safaris offering in one of the Delta’s best private reserves. It’s stylish, but earthy and in keeping with its wild surroundings. Here, everything is about unforgettable wildlife experiences, but Kwando has added a splash of luxury to make for a less rustic and more chic safari experience. It’s one for safari buffs who don’t want to give up on a few creature comforts.

Al Bastan Palace - Muscat
Our View
The Al Bustan Palace is one of the most elegant hotels in Oman. It perfectly blends the old and the new, really understanding the city of Muscat. It offers opportunities to engage in new experiences whilst retaining a sense of Arab tradition, it creates an impression that awakens all senses. Al Bustan palace is a stunning hotel and part of the Ritz-Carlton group.

Alex Walkers Serian South - Serengeti, Mobile
Our trip to Alex Walker's Serian was unforgettable! The camp was picturesque and just blended in with the bush to make you really feel part of nature - so much so that we had a herd of elephants roam through our site one night! Our guide Geoffrey taught us so many fascinating facts about the wildlife and the Serengeti and we were even lucky enough to see two (yes two!) leopards on our last day! Our spotter, Pius was incredible - you've never known eyesight like it! He could spot a lizard from 300 feet away! We had so many laughs with them both and we were sad to leave! We hope to go back again in the future and would recommend Alex Walker and his team to everyone - B Casalis
