Accommodation in Africa

Eschewing the familiarity of chain hotels, our specialists have carefully compiled a collection of character-laden places to stay across Africa, from boutique properties and small guesthouses to intimate wilderness camps.

We aim to ensure you get personal service and attention to detail wherever you go, whether you choose to stay in a thatched banda on a private island in Tanzania, want to explore the South African Winelands from a Cape Dutch farm, or immerse yourself in the Namibian wilderness from a slickly designed lodge on the Skeleton Coast.

We’ve chosen options to suit families, honeymooners, wildlife lovers and beach goers, and can recommend something to suit all tastes and budgets.
