Luxury Hotels in South Africa
We’ve handpicked a collection of stays across South Africa that reflect the country’s incredible diversity. From boutique hotels in vibrant Cape Town to stylish lodges along the Garden Route and luxury safari camps in the Kruger National Park and surrounding private reserves, we favour properties with character and a strong sense of place over large, impersonal chains. Many are owner-run or independently styled, where thoughtful details and warm hospitality make all the difference.
When it comes to safari, we work with lodges in some of South Africa’s most wildlife-rich regions, from the iconic Kruger and its private concessions to lesser-known areas like the Eastern Cape. Some are ideal for families or first-time safari-goers, while others offer a more exclusive, luxury escape. Whether it’s a contemporary city hotel, a coastal hideaway, or a five-star safari lodge overlooking the bush, our specialists use their first-hand knowledge to match you with the stays that suit your style of travel.
To give you a taste, here are just a few of the places we can weave into your South African journey.
