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.

Chisa Busanga Camp - Kafue
![](https://www.africaodyssey.com/site/odyssey-image-proxy/lodges/chisa-busanga-camp=405379-405.jpg)
Our View
Chisa Busanga Camp may look like it’s been plucked out of a gimmicky ‘world’s quirkiest hotels’ article - but its draw doesn’t necessarily lie in its incredible bird nest architecture. The Busanga plains in Kafue is one of Africa’s wildest and most spoiling locations for safar-lovers. Staying here is the epitome of isolation in the wilderness, and Chisa offers a truly intimate, quality stay, which is why we love it.

Chitabe - Okavango Delta

Chitwa Chitwa - Sabi Sands
![](https://www.africaodyssey.com/site/odyssey-image-proxy/lodges/chitwa-chitwa-safari-guide-to-sabi-sands-at-chitwa-chitwa=402787-405.jpg)
Our View
Chitwa Chitwa is located in a quiet area of the Sabi Sands Game Reserve, on the banks of one of the area's largest perennial water holes (which is home to numerous hippos). The lodge shares traversing rights with its neighbours and the game viewing in this area is excellent, with plenty of big five. Chitwa Chitwa welcomes families and children of all ages.Cost: $900
Chobe Chilwero - Chobe
![](https://www.africaodyssey.com/site/odyssey-image-proxy/lodges/chobe-chilwero---chobe-safaris-from-chobe-chilwero-botswana=402577-405.jpg)
Our View
For those of us wanting the same luxurious accommodation in Chobe, you need look no further than Chilwero. Great views, great service and absolutely stunning rooms make this a fantastic choice however this camp is not for the authentic safari lover! Great value in low season - 1st jan to 30th June and after 01st Nov, but very pricey in the peak months.Cost: $1,055

Chobe Safari Lodge - Chobe
![](https://www.africaodyssey.com/site/odyssey-image-proxy/lodges/chobe-safari-lodge---chobe-safaris-from-chobe-safari-lodge-botswana=402791-405.jpg)
Our View
As far as large safari lodges and hotels go, this is the most convenient and best value in the Chobe area. The atmosphere is authentic and comfortable with a safari character while in the lodge, which a lot of big lodges fail to do. Located in Kasane, on the banks of the Chobe River, the Chobe Safari Lodge has great access to Chobe National Park for the most animal filled drives you’ll get in Botswana, and most of all, offers arguably the best big river safari in Africa. If you are looking for an economical and action packed safari, then add this to your itinerary, but you should make sure you are staying in other camps on private concessions to make this work. It delivers!Cost: $190
Chobe Savanna Lodge - Chobe
![](https://www.africaodyssey.com/site/odyssey-image-proxy/lodges/chobe-savanna-lodge-namibia-safaris-to-chobe-savanna-lodge=404774-405.jpg)
Our View
Chobe Savanna Lodge sits on the Namibian bank of the Chobe River, right at the northern tip of the Chobe National Park. The main emphasis of Chobe Savanna Lodge in the words of camp manager John is to ‘chill down’ and this lodge is definitely geared for that. Relaxing at the lounge bar sipping a cold G&T while watching the game pass by is a fantastic way to start or finish a safari.Cost: $615
Chobe Under Canvas - Chobe
![](https://www.africaodyssey.com/site/odyssey-image-proxy/lodges/chobe-under-canvas---chobe-safaris-from-chobe-under-canvas-botswana=402576-405.jpg)
Our View
This camp is run by &Beyond whose focus on quality food and drink as well as a high standard of guiding has meant that they are regarded as a company providing some of the best safari product in Africa. Chobe Under Canvas certainly lives up to the reputation. Overall a truly stunning mobile camp that is remarkably similar to the style and character of East Africa’s mobile outfits, but this one is always based on the Chobe River and moves every 5 days to comply with National Park camping rules. We love Chobe Under Canvas and the lodges value is undeniable….a very good choice indeed for a more adventurous type of stay.Cost: $650
Chole Mjini - Mafia Island
![](https://www.africaodyssey.com/site/odyssey-image-proxy/lodges/chole-mjini=402730-405.jpg)
The main drawback of Chole Mjini is its lack of beach – it’s more like a creek but then again, Mafia is not so much about great beaches. Again, we bang on about the pool. Tanzanian heat is just too strong to not have one and as at some points of the day you cannot swim because of the tides, a pool is essential. However, the accommodation is fantastic, with lovely rustic rooms set up on stilts in the trees. It is also now under new management which will give the place a new lease of life.
Cost: $210
