What’s your style?
So you want to book your African safari?
But when you consider how big the continent
is (New Zealand can fit into Africa a colossal
115 times), the enormity all starts to get a little
overwhelming. We know the feeling can be
stressful, but fear not, we’re here to ensure
you pick the best options for your dream safari.
With choices that suit all budgets, from the
clean and comfortable to the incredibly
wonderful, your bucket list destination needs
to be done properly. We’re here to make sure
your experience isn’t solely about staying at
‘just another hotel’, so here’s a quick guide to
exactly what is on offer.
Hotels
Just like any other city in the world,
some hotels have been carefully
planned to ensure you’re a stone’s
throw from all the main attractions,
others are historic and some are
oozing with African tradition. Want
all three? No problem, if you’re
after cultural as well as local, just let
us know.
We’ve chosen preferred hotels with
unbeatable locations, amenities and
service - nothing but the best for
your dream-fulfilling trip.
Lodges
For those wanting solid
walls in the wilderness,
lodges are the ideal choice.
You’re still located in the
middle of a game park, but
the accommodation is fully
equipped, usually themed
in African safari and offers
plenty of space, much like
a home away from home.
There are traditional African
bomas which are enclosed
outdoor areas that usually
boast roaring bonfires,
plenty of socialising and
nightly entertainment.

Under canvas
This doesn’t mean staying in a tent, well it
does, but it’s a flash tent. ‘Under Canvas’
accommodation refers to a permanent camp,
and it’s designed to offer extreme comfort while
maintaining the authenticity of staying close to
wildlife. It adds a completely different meaning
to the word camp. Usually small in size, with
between four and 30 tents, you still get your
minibar, en suite bathroom, rain shower,
electricity and many other creature comforts
that vary from camp to camp.
