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.

Ongava Lodge - Etosha
Our View
Ongava Game lodge is the largest of Wilderness Safaris lodges in Etosha and ultimately are least favourite. As much as we appreciate the quality of the operational side of this lodge we don’t see the point of spending the same amount here as at Ongava Tented Lodge but getting what we believe is a far less quality experience. In our view the only reason to stay here would be because clients are hesitant about staying in a tented camp! It is rare for us not to like a Wilderness Safaris lodge – they are after all the best operator in the whole of Southern Africa but as much as this lodge is quite good value, the experience at Ongava Tented right next door is far superior.

Ongava Tented Lodge - Etosha
Our View
Ongava Tented Camp is a charming small tented camp in a private reserve owned by Wilderness Safaris just outside Etosha. There are only eight rooms here, all of which look over a small watering hole that attracts game throughout the day and night. The camp is stylish, very well run and is beautifully unpretentious. The location enables guests to make use of the private reserve it is located in but also to game drive into Etosha. Overall a great little camp and our first choice for good value accommodation in Etosha.

Onguma Bush Camp - Etosha
Our View
Onguma Bush Camp is exceptionally good value for money and perfect for families with children. You get a sprinkling of all the luxuries you could need - including a pool - but for a fraction of the cost as you would get on safari in other southern African countries.

Cost: $182
Onguma Camp Kala - Etosha
Our View
Opened in 2022, Onguma Camp Kala is one of Etosha National Park’s crown jewels. It’s exclusive, slick, and importantly, located on the banks of an action-packed waterhole - meaning you don’t even have to leave the luxury of camp to be on safari.

Cost: $1,338
Onguma Forest Camp - Etosha
Our View
Onguma Forest Camp is a barefoot luxury safari experience that takes things back to basics, but with a sprinkling of safari romance. Recently renovated - and formerly called Onguma Etosha Aoba - this camp is a brilliant value for money, with everything you could possibly want for an authentic and memorable safari experience.

Cost: $170
Onguma Tented Camp - Etosha
Our View
Onguma Tented Camp is old school safari romance, with elegant dining and the draw of a brilliant waterhole out the front of camp which acts like a magnet to passing wildlife. It’s chic, luxurious, but still has the under canvas safari magic, where you feel totally immersed in the surrounding nature.

Cost: $815
Onguma The Fort - Etosha
Our View
Onguma’s The Fort’s name is warranted. The desert-coloured geometric complex sits in the middle of the Etosha with brilliant views into the surrounding pans. Set in amongst 100s of camel thorn trees, it feels like The Fort could have been there for years, weaving in and out of its natural surroundings. It’s also exceptionally good value for money.
