My hot picks
-
![property]()
View propertyCape Grace Hotel, Cape Town, South Africa
Right in the heart of the V&A Waterfront, this is the place to stay with great access to the city and you are treated like a family member, welcomed home on arrival! -

View propertyChitwa Chitwa, Sabi Sands Game Reserve, Greater Kruger, South Africa
Located on a waterhole, it’s possible to see game without even leaving the lodge! This is also leopard territory, so if you want to see the elusive leopard, this is the place to go. -

View propertyDuba Plains, Duba Concession, Okavango Delta and Moremi, Botswana
Located in the Okavango Delta, watch the elephants drink from the water hole in front of your tent and at night, hear lions roaring close by! -

View propertyNamiri Plains Camp, Serengeti National Park, Tanzania
Set in the Eastern part of the Serengeti, this part of the park was closed off to the public until recently for big cat research. The big cats are in abundance here and the game viewing is amazing, all to enjoy whilst staying in luxury! -

View propertySaruni Samburu, Samburu National Reserve, Northern Kenya, Kenya
Culture, views, wildlife, breath-taking landscapes – what’s not to love about this lodge!
My top tips
-
Always bring your own binoculars, everyone’s eyes are different, so it’s great to have your own rather than sharing with other people on a vehicle and having to adjust the setting and also having to wait your turn!
-
Take your photos then sit back and enjoy the sighting, it’s your memories that will replay in your mind for years not the photos!
-
Planning is key, Africa is a diverse and exciting continent to explore and logistics really do matter - no country is the same, so trust your specialist as they guide you to what works best based on your requirements.
