FAQ

Where to stay — straight answers.

A remarkable range — safari lodges and tented camps in the game parks, romantic riads in Morocco's medinas, Nile cruise boats in Egypt, beach resorts on Zanzibar and the Indian Ocean islands, city hotels in Cape Town, and remote desert camps in Namibia and the Sahara. See our things to do in Africa.
A lodge is a permanent building with solid walls and full facilities; a tented camp puts you under canvas — from simple bush tents to ultra-luxury suites — closer to the sounds of the wild. Both are all-inclusive with game drives and guides. Our dedicated safari lodges & camps guide covers the styles and costs in detail.
A riad is a traditional Moroccan house built around a central courtyard or garden, now often run as an intimate boutique hotel deep in the medina. Staying in one — in Marrakech or Fez — is one of the great experiences of North Africa. See our Morocco travel guide.
Yes — a Nile cruise is essentially a floating hotel that carries you between the great sites of Upper Egypt (Luxor to Aswan), unpacking once while the temples come to you. It's comfortable, scenic and efficient. See our Egypt travel guide.
For families, malaria-free private reserves in South Africa (Madikwe, Shamwari) are ideal for safari, and the beach resorts of Zanzibar, Mauritius and the Cape are relaxed and easy. Many lodges offer family units and junior-ranger programs. See our South Africa travel guide.
