For custom safari planning clients, we’ll discuss exactly what you need and desire in accommodations, and I’ll present the perfect options for your trip destinations. For our scheduled safaris, details about accommodations are included in each trip description, and I’m happy to answer questions you may have before booking.
CLASSIC and upscale tented campS
Referred to as “Hemingway-style” camping, this is the quintessential safari experience. You’ll stay in seasonal or permanent canvas-walled tents with all the amenities you need, including spacious baths and showers, comfortable bedding, and the little details from home. Fall asleep to the sounds of Africa and wake with the sunrise.
Permanent lodges
When you think of a lodge, you might picture dark wood walls, plaid furniture and vintage lamps. But in Africa, lodges are upscale structural works of art. From natural timber to stone fireplaces, full walls of windows and spacious decks, lodges are a step up from a classic bush camp and offer extra comforts such as larger dining rooms, full size bars, bathtubs, and air conditioning.
unique, stunning villas
Boutique villas are perfect for those who want ultimate privacy and luxury. Ranging from beach homes to upscale treehouses, multigenerational compounds and upscale housing in nature conservancies, villas give you a home away from home.
luxury hotels
If you’re visiting Cape Town or another large city, don’t miss the chance to stay in some of the most aesthetically striking hotels with breathtaking views and charm. Options range from boutique hotels to all-inclusive experiences.
