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
Since 1989 Rovos Rail has been transporting guests across Africa and into a bygone safari era by train. If you’re a fan of silver service, spectacular views, and Victorian-era opulence – and of course, love being on trains – then Rovos Rail is an experience not to be missed. The itineraries are endless with Rovos, as you can pretty much hop on and off wherever you like from Cape Town to Dar es Salaam, and even Angola. Why not swap out the 4x4 for a speedier, streamlined option for your next safari adventure? It would certainly be something different.

Royal Malewane - Kruger
Our View
Royal Malewane is located in a private game resereve outside of the Kruger National Park. Regarded as one of Africa’s most luxurious lodges, this place is arguably on another level completely. The accommodation here would rival any other hotel on the planet and with great game viewing this is one of the best safari hotels for those of us looking to be pampered. A truly sumptuous lodge where nothing is left out.

Rra Dinare - Okavango Delta
Our View
Rra Dinare provides the classic tented safari experience without scrimping on added luxuries like a refreshing main area pool and wooden private viewing decks. Run by old hats Kwando Safaris, Rra Dinare offers a proper safari experience with knowledgeable guides. Set in a private concession adjacent to Moremi in the south-east of the Okavango Delta, it's also packed full of exciting wildlife. You can’t go wrong with Rra Dinare - especially when the price is slashed in low season.

Ruckomechi Camp - Mana Pools
We found Ruckomechi Camp to be one of the most magical places we have ever visited. We loved getting to know the staff and were treated like royalty. It was fun to be able to experience Mana Pools National Park from a car, boat, canoe and by foot.- R.Lane

Rufiji River Camp - Selous
Rufiji River Lodge is owned and operated by the prestigious Fox Family, owners of the Ruaha River Lodge, Katavi Wildlife camp and many others. The camp itself is in a lovely location with scenic views of the Rufiji River, but it needs money spent on it. They were going to refurbish it, but have never got round to it, and until it begins to tidy up around the edges, it doesn’t remain as good value as some of it neighbours.

Sable Alley - Okavango Delta
Our View
Sable Alley is a brilliant option for those who want a world-class safari without compromising on luxury. The price hugely varies from low to high seasons, so it’s definitely worth looking at shoulder months if you want a good deal. The Khwai concession of the Okavango Delta is formerly a hunting reserve, but Natural Selection are proud of its conservation success story, as since they took it over wildlife has flooded back into the area. Set between the Chobe National Park and the Moremi Game Reserve, the safaris here are now fabulous.

Sable Valley - Hwange National Park
Our View
Providing the perfect base for everyone, Amalinda’s Sable Valley Camp sits on the edges of their famous Dete Vlei which attracts an abundance of wildlife. Some guests don’t feel the need to even go out on game drive, they just wait for the wildlife to come to them. Charming and with conservation and sustainability as the ethos, this lodge provides everything a true safari camp should.
