We stayed here for our honeymoon. Words cannot describe how we feel about Kapama River Lodge. This place is unbelievable. I’ve stayed at many 5* hotels, but this lodge is far more superior than any of them. The team are AMAZING, Azaria and Milton, our ranger and tracker were unbelievable and so committed to help us track down what we wanted. Kulani the waiter was an absolute delight.

This turned out to be an excellent family holiday. We originally chose the tented camp option as it was the cheapest way for the four of us to stay on one of the private game reserves (Woodbury Tented Camp is located in the Amakhala game reserve), however I would now recommend this option over a regular lodge as it offered the perfect balance of adventure and comfort (electric blankets on the beds!). The staff were all very friendly and our guide, Melumzi, did an excellent job of tracking...

With two game drives a day. Our guide Prem had eagle eyes. The exta bonus evening drive was a nice touch. The entire experience was simply unforgettable. Can’t recommend it highly...

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Africa

Book for the cheapest times: The most economical time to visit Africa is during May, June, and September when hotel prices are typically lower. For those on a budget, a stay of at least 3 days is recommended to fully appreciate the region's significant landmarks and cultural attractions. This timeframe allows visitors to explore historical sites, cultural heritage, and stunning natural wonders, ensuring a great value for money experience. With careful planning, prices may drop during these months, making it an ideal opportunity for budget-friendly travel.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover great last-minute deals on hotels in Africa, visit the Dealsopens in new window or Last-Minute Dealsopens in new window sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted rates close to your travel date. Additionally, enabling email alerts or push notifications could keep you informed about flash sales and special promotions, helping you seize savings opportunities. The Smart Shoppingopens in new window tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're more likely to see the best options. If rooms become available or prices drop, you’ll be among the first to know, ready to book your last-minute getaway.
Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on various factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could help you find a more economical option for your stay in an African hotel. For those interested in a distinctive experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and can sometimes offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. Should the price be on the higher side, we can suggest alternative dates that may help you find a more favourable rate.
Consider your location: Staying in the heart of major cities across Africa undoubtedly provides convenience and easy access to a wealth of local attractions. However, this prime location often comes at a premium, making accommodations significantly more expensive. In contrast, smaller towns and rural areas are typically more likely to be affordable, allowing travellers to enjoy their experiences without stretching their budgets. For those seeking better rates, it may be wise to consider hotels situated outside the city centre, although this could necessitate some additional travel to reach key sites. Alternatively, exploring nearby cities that offer a host of attractions can reveal budget-friendly options without compromising on the quality of your stay.

Best time to go to Africa

Africa has a varied climate due to its size, so the best time to visit depends on the region and your preferences for weather and crowds. October to December are the peak travel months in Africa, attracting a higher number of tourists. During this peak period, the weather is sunny to mostly sunny, accompanied by no to light rainfall. On the other hand, May to July tend to be quieter times to visit, marked by no rainfall and sunny conditions.
