Africa's finest lodges, camps & resorts

Every property in this collection is booked directly through The Luxury Africa DMC. We hold trade contracts with each brand, so you receive the property's best available rate plus our on-the-ground planning, transfers, and full circuit design at no extra cost. Simply tap any property, or use the enquiry options below to speak to a planner.

Most luxury safari camps and lodges are fully all-inclusive — accommodation, all meals, house beverages, twice-daily game drives, and park fees. Beach resorts in Zanzibar are typically half-board or full-board, with activities and excursions quoted separately. We confirm the exact inclusions for each property at the quotation stage so there are no surprises.

A lodge is a permanent built structure, often with larger rooms and amenities like swimming pools and spas. A tented camp uses luxury canvas suites — still with en-suite bathrooms, proper beds, electricity, and full service — but offers a more intimate, closer-to-nature feel. Many of Africa's very finest properties, including Singita and Asilia camps, are tented. Neither is "better"; it comes down to the experience you want.

Yes — that is the heart of what we do. A typical luxury circuit combines two to four properties across different parks and regions, with all internal flights, transfers, and logistics handled by our team. Bush-to-beach combinations — for example, a Serengeti camp followed by a Zanzibar villa — are especially popular for honeymoons and milestone trips.

Luxury lodge rates vary significantly by season, room category, and occupancy. The "from" price reflects the lowest available rate — typically a standard suite in green season. Peak-season dates (July–October and the festive holidays) carry higher rates. We provide an exact, all-in quote for your specific dates and group when you enquire.

The most sought-after properties — Singita, Ritz-Carlton Masai Mara, andBeyond Mnemba, Four Seasons Serengeti — book 9–14 months ahead for peak season, and the festive holidays fill even earlier. Shoulder and green-season stays can often be confirmed within 3–4 months. As a rule, the earlier you enquire, the better the choice of suite category and dates.

Many are excellent for families — Four Seasons Serengeti has a dedicated children's Discovery Centre, and several camps offer family suites and tailored activities. Some intimate camps and adults-oriented retreats have minimum age policies. Tell us the ages of your children and we'll recommend only the properties that genuinely suit your family.

Yes. Many of the smaller camps in this collection can be reserved as full sole-use buyouts for families, wedding parties, and corporate groups — you take every suite, the staff, and the vehicles. See our dedicated exclusive private lodges & buyouts page, or simply mention it when you enquire.
