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.

Rekero - Masai Mara Reserve
Great Tented camp. Obviously not as luxurious as Joys, but excellent position in Mara. Guides excellent.- A Jones

Richards Camp - Greater Mara
Our View
Richard and the Roberts’ family have long been synonymous with the Mara…as has Richard’s Camp, formerly Willie’s camp and also formerly the family home. The great thing about the lodge is that it has retained its air of being a family home and so, while not really offering the views of some of the other camps in the Mara, it feels totally comfortable and relaxed. This camp is ideal for a family or group booking, but also superb for a couple. Definitely a top choice!

River Club - Livingstone and Victoria Falls
Our View
The River Club is in our view the finest property at Victoria Falls. Quite an honour considering the quality of the competition! What really sets this place apart from all its competitors is not so much the quality of the rooms but the character and atmosphere in camp. Having said that, it might not be for everyone in terms of being very well manicured and with a colonial theme for the design. The views are absolutely stunning (the best by far!), the grounds are immaculate, giving guests areas to escape the crowds. A real bonus is the fantastic hosting by the owner Peter Jones – dinner is always entertaining and you really do feel part of a home, especially when Peter's in camp.

Rivertrees - Arusha
We stayed at five hotels, Rivertrees Country Hotel near Arusha,a small hotel with beautiful grounds and vegetable garden, and this was ideal for a rest day after the overnight flight.All the three safari hotels had such magnificent views with swimming pools that their other services were almost irrelevant- M&H Wea

Robins Camp - Hwange National Park
Our View
Robin’s Camp is an affordable option in Hwange National Park if you’re keen to see some brilliant wildlife but aren’t bothered about all the bells and whistles. Seeing all big five animals is possible from this base. It is also steeped in history surrounding the camp’s namesake Herbert George Robins, who acquired the farm in 1900 and put a stop to poaching and shooting in the area - a move well ahead of its time.

Roca Sundy - Principe Island
Our View
Roca meaning the farm is a different idea to the other hotels located on the beach. It revolves around celebrating the people, way of life and history of Principe.

Rocktail Bay - Other Reserves
Our View
Rocktail Bay is a beautiful rugged beach reserve run by the luxury operator Wilderness Safaris. Located on a wild stretch of coast North of Durban, Rocktail Bay is not your classic beach destination but a truly wild coastline with miles of deserted beach, serious diving and a huge area of wilderness to explore inland.

Roho ya Selous - Selous
Roho ya Selous is the most recent offering from the ever-excellent Asilia, and their first foray into the wilds of the Selous. The Camp is set on a hill overlooking the channel between Lake Manze and Lake Nzerakera - in the best game viewing area of the park. Walking, boating and game-driving are on offer with Asilia's brilliant guides. This stylish camp is set to rival Beho Beho and Sand Rivers for the crown of best in the Selous.

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.
