Southern Africa

Southern Africa is a traveller's dream that offers a vast array of accommodation options. From indulgent 5-star opulence to rustic budget-friendly basics, you're sure to find exactly what you're looking for. Depending on the kind of experience you're seeking, you can also mix-and-match accommodation types for a more rounded getaway.

The country you're planning to visit will also determine which options you might choose, based on the kind of activities you wish to include in your journey. Most accommodation selections take into account the kinds of things you'll be doing while visiting particular places.

Countries with a strong focus on wildlife and eco-tourism will offer a predominance of game and safari reserves, farms and lodges. Those on the coast are likely to provide beach resort accommodation. Self-catering choices are common across the board, as are hotels, guest houses, backpackers, and camping locations. Less common would be spa and resort accommodation, traditional cultural accommodation experiences, or more unique options such as houseboats.

The beauty of this region is that you're spoilt for choice. Honeymoon hideaways, winelands refuges, eco-friendly havens, beachfront boltholes, countryside hideouts, hotel hangouts, spa sanctuaries, backpacker retreats: Southern Africa offers virtually unlimited accommodation options. Whether you're travelling alone; with your family or partner; or as part of a business group, you'll certainly find places to stay that suit your pocket and satisfy your tastes.

South Africa

Some of the best-known places travellers can choose from in South Africa are those situated in or near national parks and reserves such as the Kruger National Park. Less familiar are township experiences or traditional cultural villages. And the country's vibrant urban centres present a multitude of formal luxury and casual budget options, including boutique hotels, hostels, B&Bs and conference venues.

Namibia

Namibia is overflowing with opportunities for travellers to experience its glorious natural attractions from both the comfort of more standard hotel or guest house settings, or in a more raw form in safari camps, lodges and game reserves. Whatever you choose you're sure to be treated to the country's breathtaking scenery and sky-scapes, especially at night and dawn.

Mozambique

Mozambique offers liberal doses of beaches and water, so pack your swimming costume! You can be sure that most of the views from your room will include tropical scenery. For something a little different you could also elect to stay in an elegant Colonial-era hotel in one of the country's urban centres. The historical buildings ooze classic charm, and will transport you back to an era of high tea and evening cocktails.

Zimbabwe

Historical appeal is very much a feature of Zimbabwe's accommodation offering, with various colonial-style hotels providing a luxurious lodging experience. A number of more modern resort options offer additional attractions, with well-appointed golf courses offering stunning views from every hole. Self-catering and camping options are also abundant.

Botswana

Botswana offers great opportunities to get in touch with nature. Much of its accommodation is set in gorgeous natural surroundings where you can really get up close and personal with wildlife, whether you're looking for the comfort of a hotel or guest house, or prefer to self-cater or camp.

Lesotho

Accommodation in Lesotho spans a wide range, from hotels, lodges and guest houses, to B&Bs and campsites. Most of these establishments fall under the country's progressive grading system, which includes ratings for overall quality, environmental friendliness and suitability for people with disabilities. Travellers can also enjoy more unique experiences, such as Home stays, allowing them to partake in the hospitality and culture of the Basotho Nation.
