Lodges, camps and more across Africa….
Africa is blessed with an abundance of some of the world’s most beautiful lodges, camps and hotels, far too many for us to list all the good ones. From sheer indulgence to rustic simplicity there is something for every taste and budget. Here we have selected a few to set your sense of adventure on fire.
Please remember that there is not necessarily just one lodge or destination that will be your perfect match. The time of year can be equally as important as the location. If you want to see a specific animal (that elusive leopard comes to mind!) there are definitely some places better than others. Our best advice is to start by contacting us. Don’t forget, we will never charge you more than going to the property direct, and almost always offer you a better price, so what have you got to lose?
We can then listen to what it is that you are looking for and make a proposition that is right for you!
Please note that due to the ongoing pandemic many properties are constantly re-evaluating their prices and special offers and as such we have opted to remove our prices and ask you to rather contact us for the latest and best offers available at your desired property.
