Best African Luxury Safaris

What is it that makes a stay at one of our Best African Luxury Lodges so special? It's hard to pin down exactly...

Location? Whether your luxury suite looks out over a silky, silent lagoon or ancient volcanic crater, the views are the kind that'll leave you speechless in wonder.

Perhaps it's the rich furnishings of your safari accommodation, blending traditional African design with modern art.

What about the service? Expect smiling, professional staff combining attentiveness with discretion and subtlety - oh, and seriously excellent food and wine, served as you like it, where you want it.

But it's the excitement of exploring somewhere new that stays in the mind the longest: the thrill of a dawn game drive through a tense savannah; a boat cruise along an elephant-lined river at sunset; a bush walk along a snaking animal trail, armed ranger in front, your heart in your mouth.

Sound like the kind of thing you're looking for? We've selected the very best African Luxury Safari Lodges from 4 very different African destinations.

Head south to the Kruger National Park in South Africa for arguably the most decadent safari lodges in Africa - after all, it was Mala Mala and Londolozi that started offering the kind of luxury safari experience now found throughout the continent - but, as they say, no-one does it better.

Botswana may disagree: the wildlife Edens of the Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park are home to luxury safari lodges that combine sophisticated opulence with charm and subtlety, blending in to the environment, a heartbeat away from some of Africa's wildest places and best game viewing.

The Luxury Safari Lodges of East Africa may not have quite the level of sophistication of their southern African cousins but they certainly don't lack for comfort. Both Kenya and Tanzania have wonderful lodges in some of the world's most famous wildlife destinations, and don't be surprised if your lunch table turns out to be waiting for you under a shady tree on the savannah.

All in all, you may have to find out why we've chosen these as our Best African Luxury Lodges for yourself.
