For this African adventure, we have picked a selection of comfortable accommodations, each well located for our activities. We spend seven nights in hotels, four nights in lodges and two nights of full-service camping.
We mostly stay in three-star hotels and lodges. In Cape Town, we enjoy a privileged spot by the V&A Waterfront, a star attraction in the city, which is packed with a dizzying number of restaurants, shops and buzzy bars. Many of the other hotels and lodges on this trip have lovely views and most have pools.
Wild camping in the Okavango Delta
The highlight stay on this trip for many, however, is our two nights of wild camping in the Okavango Delta. Our neighbours, which you’ll likely hear shuffling around at night, include hippos, elephants and lions, while our away-from-it-all location normally allows us to see a night sky illuminated with stars. To make things easier, our camp is set up for us and all equipment is provided. We sleep in spacious, two-person tents fitted with mattress-topped camp beds and there is a bush shower and toilet, while dinner is taken around our atmospheric campfire.
