South Africa Accommodation

Known as the world in one country, South Africa is as varied as it is scenic and its wide range of accommodation reflects this very diversity. Indeed, South Africa accommodation includes everything from five-star hotels and luxury private villas to family-friendly safari lodges and self-catering guest houses. Both quality and service are comparable to anything you'd find in Europe or North America.

Luxury boutique hotels and guest houses are set in prime positions in the vibrant cities of Johannesburg and Cape Town as well as all along the Garden Route and the country's most famous coastlines. South Africa's top national parks and game reserves such as the Kruger Park and its private reserves have accommodation options ranging from child-friendly lodges to exclusive tented camps while KwaZulu-Natal's scenic countryside has hidden gems well known for their fine cuisine and indulgent service. We've also selected safari accommodation in malaria-free Big 5 reserves - perfect for family getaways.

There's certainly a lot to choose from but we've made your decision a lot easier with our handpicked selection of the very best accommodation in South Africa. If you can't find what you're looking for however, one of our experienced African Safari Experts will happily recommend the ideal hotel, lodge or guest house to suit your requirements.

The mighty Drakensberg mountain range is the highest in South Africa and home to some rather spectacular hiking trails.

The scenic Panorama Route is one of the most spectacular regions in South Africa.

Wild dogs are a rare sight, but many safari goers can expect to see them in Madikwe Game Reserve and parts of Kruger.

The Garden Route is the ideal destination for a relaxed, self-drive family holiday or honeymoon.

Sun City is popular with adventurous families, who love the Valley of the Waves, large swimming pools, casino and theatre.

The Sabi Sands adjacent to the Kruger Park offers superb Big 5 gameviewing.

The Cape Winelands - just an easy 40 minute drive from Cape Town - are filled with award-winning wine estates.

Cape Town's many attractions include Table Mountain, the V&A Waterfront, Kirstenbosch Gardens and Robben Island.

Enjoy idyllic sunsets, private dining & fine wines while on safari - South Africa has a huge range of honeymoon-perfect destinations.

The classic way to end another great day in South Africa is with a blazing sunset & your favourite drink - it's sundowner time!

Although home to the Big 5, South Africa has plenty of other animals as well - this reedbuck makes its home in the Kruger Park.

It's not all about the Big 5: head for the sub-tropical beaches of KwaZulu-Natal for wildlife surprises such as turtle hatchings.

Make sure you pack the camera: home to diverse, ancient & dramatic landscapes, you're never without a view in South Africa.

With its enormously long coastline, South Africa has many miles of deserted beaches - perfect for a post-safari wind down.

Wildlife conservation is the main focus of South Africa's parks & reserves, vital refuges for endangered animals such as these rhinos.

It's a popular, well-visited country but many parts of South Africa are totally wild, uninhabited & well off the beaten path.
