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.

Meno a Kwena - Makgadikgadi Pans
Our View
Meno a Kwena is a small and intimate lodge that has long been home of the famous David Dugmore! Consisting of 8 simple, yet effective tents the lodge is located on the traditionally dry Boteti River, to the south east of Maun. With great views down to the river bed below, this camp is the perfect place to start or end a trip as a short drive out of Maun and offering very good value for money.

Mfuwe Lodge - South Luangwa
Our View
We're a bit undecided about Mfuwe Lodge - it is inside the main gate which is a huge bonus and means the wonders of the park are right on the doorstep. However, it also mean the entrance road is also on the doorstep to one stretch of the chalets - avoid the 'buffalo' line or you'll have safari traffic disturbing you when you're trying to siesta. Having said that, it's a great lodge - it's on the big side and not to everyone's taste, so depends what you're after, but it's got some great guiding and works well as an overnighter before heading into the bush camps. It's also famous for the elephants walking through the reception later in the year - quite a spectacle!

Miavana - Nosy Ankao
Dreamy, dreamy dreamy - we put off our trip to Madagascar until Miavana had finally opened and it was amazing - so well worth the wait. Getting to Diego Suarez was an adventure in itself but from then the helicopter to and from the island was a breeze.- J Elliot

Migration Camp - Serengeti, North
Migration Camp was our favourite - a bit off the beaten tourist trap so not so many vehicles around. Game was a little harder to find as landscape is not so open but it was a good contrast with the central Serengeti area and we did see thousands of grazing migration animals in the north and along the Western Corridor.- J Stirrat

Mivumo - Selous
We absolutely loved Mivumo. It was amazing to be able to step out onto our balcony to look over the river and hear the hippos in the water. Have never been anywhere more peaceful. The food was great and the staff were so friendly. It was our first safari, so didn’t have anything to compare it to, but we saw so many animals and loved every second of it. - V. Ainsworth

Mnemba Island lodge - Zanzibar Islands
I guess this has to be the perfect ending, the pictures pretty much sum it up as a lost Maldivian Island and that's exactly as it is. A luxurious stay with everything you'd expect from a 5 star experience. Friendly staff intent on making the feel of a private Island as private as you want it to be. Superb diving and private dining. - C&P Monksfield

Moivaro Coffee Estate - Arusha
With quite a range of lodges and small hotels to choose from these days in and around Arusha, this lodge stands out as being a good choice. With good service and clean, airy rooms the lodge is well managed. It has a good sized pool for those who may have come off Kilimanjaro, otherwise ideal for a quick dip in the afternoon after arriving from anywhere else. A good option for those looking for a quiet and charming stoop over point on their way through. Excellent for families, but if you are looking for small intimate place, look elsewhere.

Mokete Camp - Mababe
Our View
Botswana is renowned for having some of the most exclusive safari experiences in Africa, yet location is still key for the best experience. Mokete, meaning ‘celebration or feast’ in Sesotho is exactly what is provided. Feast your eyes on some of the best game viewing in the country and celebrate exploring an area only a select few have had the privilege of doing.

Mokolwane Camp - Okavango Delta
Our View
Mokolwane is an intimate but relaxed Okavango Delta camp set in a brilliant leopard-viewing, 200,000-hectre concession. This is an ideal base for small groups looking for an exclusive Okavango experience without breaking the bank. It’s also just a really barefoot luxury existence here - but the food, guiding and experience is top notch.

Molori Mashuma - Mana Pools
Our View
Mana Pools is without doubt one of the best places for a pure, wilderness safari. And whilst bush camps and Mana Pools often go hand in hand, there’s no denying that some guests prefer their creature comforts. And Molori Mashuma provides this, plus much more in the heart of walking safari heaven.
