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.

Kulandila Camp - South Luangwa
Our View
Kulandila Camp is in an excellent wildlife viewing location in the mighty South Luangwa National Park, and as one of the park’s most southerly lodges, it avoids most of the crowds. Old school luxury is the name of the game here: being close to nature, reclining in an outdoor bath, and enjoying an al-fresco meal under the stars. Tents are spacious, and with only four, a truly personalised and exclusive experience is guaranteed.

Kungwe Beach Lodge - Mahale Mountains
Kungwe has developed into a reasonably good lodge and is the only alternative to the luxurious Greystoke Mahale; its superior neighbour. It is the value option in Mahale, and in our opinion if you travel the distance to Mahale we feel you should try and pay the extra and stay at the world famous Greystoke with noticeably better guiding, service and quality.

Kusini Tented Camp - Serengeti, North
Kusini is fabulous. It has an excellent location, in the depths of the southern Serengeti, far away from the crowds. It has extremely high standards of service and overall quality. And is, in our view, one of the best places to watch the Migration from whe the herds are in the south of the Serengeti. Prices have been creeping up a little and its nearby competition can offer a similar experience for less money, but it is the remoteness that wins it for Kusini.

Kutali Camp - Lower Zambezi
Our View
Kutali is what Zambian bush camps are all about: the wildlife is spectacular, guiding is world class, and the camp has a characterful rustic charm only a safari can offer, but with the personalised service five star hotels could only dream of.

Kuyenda, South Luangwa National Park, Zambia - South Luangwa
Our View
Many clients travel to Kuyenda simply due to sharing their experience in the Luangwa with Phil Berry, one of the Luangwa's best and most legendary guides. He certainly is a massive reason to choose this camp over others. Leaving his excellent guiding and hospitality aside, Kuyenda is a great little camp and a favourite in the office.

Kwandwe - Other Reserves
Our View
Kwandwe is a 22 000 hectare game reserve two hours’ drive to the north of Port Elizabeth. This is a great malaria free safari option to combine with an itinerary featuring Cape Town and the Garden Route. This is a big 5 game reserve, but is particularly good for viewing the rarer aardwolf and aardvark.

Kwara - Okavango Delta
Kwara was a good place to start off. We were fortunate in having George as our driver/guide - mature, very well informed about all the wildlife and with a good sense of humour. As there were four of us we mostly went on drives on our own with George and a spotter, although the camp was full. The rest of the staff were very helpful and friendly. The accommodation was very adequate and certainly a far cry from our first safari experience in 1985, with electric light, running water and flushing loos now! The food was fine - although the Christmas turkey was the size of an average chicken and meant to feed about 20 of us! Plentiful wine and all sorts of spirits though.We enjoyed the dance/singing routine before dinner (twice), which was just as much for the staff's benefit as the punters'.
There were plenty of animals to see - lots of lion, elephants, giraffe etc. at close range to the camp and, of course, loads of birds. The river safari was good once they had got the boat working and fortunately the punters at little Kwara (friends of Matthew's) came to our rescue several times when the boat stalled!

Kwetsani - Okavango Delta
Our View
Kwetsani is a magnificent camp, set high up in the trees on an island that looks over the Northern plains of the Jao flats. We really like this camp as it is extremely spacious, has stunning views and great balance between activities. With only 5 rooms, all spread out along the fringes of the island you can be sure to find your escape and privacy here. We love Kwetsani and actually think it is the best camp in this whole concession!

Kwihala Camp - Ruaha
At Kwihala lodge the staff did everything for our well feeling and the food was excellent. Our guide Lorenzo was very professional - he knows how to find and show us the game so we saw so many many lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, elephants, buffalos and colourful birds.- A. Fuellemann

Kyambura Gorge Lodge | Uganda Safari - Uganda
Our View
Sitting atop the escarpment to the North East of Queen Elizabeth National Park, Kyambura Gorge Lodge offers a great base from which to explore the National Park or for hiking in the Gorge. It's position gives sweeping views over the vast park below and the gorge to the North - on a clear day the Rwenzori Mountains rise up far in the distance completing the picture of this beautiful corner of Uganda.
