Best Hotels & Lodges

Matetsi River House is a safari on your own terms (we like it already!) Set on the private Matetsi Reserve next to its sister camp, Matetsi River Lodge, the 8-person house has the best of both worlds - a private butler, chef and guide, and access to all the facilities of the lodge, including the swimming pool, spa and wine cellar. A 30 minute drive will take you straight to the Falls and the plethora of heart-stopping activities that go with it, but if you fancy staying closer to home, there's lots to keep you busy on the reserve, from walks to boating trips to fishing. That's what we call a holiday.

Surrounded by hibiscus, lemongrass and cinnamon with the Indian ocean right on your doorstep, Maia Resort is a haven of serene solitude in the most romantic of Seychelles settings. Set amongst hills of wiggling palm trees and dramatic rock formations, the villa-style rooms have sweeping, 180-degree views over Anse Louis beach and the sparkling ocean below. The spa is quite something too - three, corn-yellow, thatched pavilions offering Omorovicza treatments, early morning yoga, and qi gong sessions. It might be a cliche, but this truly is a place to switch off, relax, and forget all your troubles (in some serious style too).

Set among ebony and sausage trees, Stanley’s Camp is located on a 260,000-acre (406-square-mile) private concession bordering the Moremi Game Reserve. The wilderness constantly changes in the delta area. When rain falls on the Angolan highlands, it flows east and south, filling the delta and drawing in millions of animals and birds. During the dry season, the waters disappear and few animals remain.

Impodimo Game Lodge is perched on a rocky ridge overlooking the stunning bushveld landscape of Madikwe Private Game Reserve. The property, which traces Botswana's southern border, boasts diverse terrain, from expansive grasslands, to sloping mountains and rocky outcrops. The wildlife is similarly diverse with all of the Big Five, plus cheetah and good numbers of wild dogs. Impodimo's homely grounds offer supreme privacy and luxury; it is also uniquely equipped for families traveling with young children (it also happens to be malaria-free), with a menu of child-centered activities to keep the kiddies busy.

It is a farm, first and foremost, run by a family who pledge themselves to an enduring care for the land, with a true passion for hospitality and the dream of a place to share with friends and travellers, with an authentic love and respect for the Sicilian countryside. Mandranova brings together agriculture, hospitality, catering, oleo tourism and culture to communicate and spread the deep-running values that they believe in.

The Victoria Falls Safari Suites are situated within the magnificent grounds of the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge resort, an award-winning lodge with exquisite views of the Adjacent Zambezi National Park. Set on a plateau and bordering the Zambezi National Park, they are a short drive away from the spectacular Victoria Falls and all the activities it offers. The two and three-bedroom sunset-facing Safari Suites are set in a natural bush environment and are ideal for families, and small groups who are looking for stylish comfort, flexibility, privacy and space.
