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.

The Palacina - Nairobi
The Palacina was a wonderful entrance to the beginning of this magical adventure. The service was beyond words. We purchased some larger items while we were there. Brought them back to Palacina with us and they stored them for us. When we returned from Stone Town, one of their employees was at the airport with these items so we could check them home. That is service.

    The Palms - Zanzibar, East Coast
    When we got to The Palms in Zanzibar later, we soon realised it was the best place we had ever stayed! The Palms was certainly the most luxurious place of all and the degree of the personal service we received was just so outstanding. We didn't want to leave there.

    The Prince Maurice - Mauritius, East Coast

    Our View

    The jewel in hotel Constance's crown, Prince Maurice is one of the smaller of the hotels on the island.  Superb rooms with either a beach or lagoon view and a lovely huge pool.  One drawback is that the beach is not as good as others on the East Coast.

    The Residence Zanzibar - Zanzibar, South Coast
    Very NEW and nice. had nice perks for honeymooners. lacked character although didn't impact the experience. one thing to note was the all inclusive package did NOT include anything from room service or the mini bar, we found this to be very misleading. however the food was great once down in the dining room. didn't offer much entertainment, the website said kite surfing and scuba diving but neither were available. was a good follow on from the honeymoon however got a little boring...would have preferred to have done another day on mnemba. - A Stratton

    The Royal Livingstone - Livingstone and Victoria Falls
    The Royal Livingstone.  This was a nice hotel with a fabulous location.  The service is a bit hit and miss and it is a little pretentious.  We ended up eating in the neighbouring 3 star hotel.  I’m not sure what the rooms are like in the 3 star hotel but if they are ok then I would suggest that for families.  I would give it 4 out of five.
