Trevoyan Guest House  This Victorian style premises is a real gem and is located in Tamboerskloof, right at the slopes of Table Mountain. The Trevoyan is centrally situated in a quiet street and safe neighborhood. It is within walking distance of some recommendable restaurants. A short and inexpensive taxi ride will bring you to the V&A Waterfront with its shops and restaurants or to the splendid beaches in Camps Bay and Clifton.  The Trevoyan Guesthouse has seven spacious rooms painted in different muted colors with en suite bathrooms. Creaking Oregon wooden floors are accentuated with sea grass carpets and white American shutters.

Africa on Foot Camp is located in the Klaserie Private Reserve, bordering Kruger Park. The camp has only 5 chalets ensuring an intimate and personal safari experience.  The main area houses a comfortable lounge area constructed around an old tree trunk and equipped with couches and a library. The dining room has a large table where, as per safari tradition, everyone dines together to enjoy each other's company and share stories of the day's game sightings.  An outside boma area and campfire is perfect for those cold winter mornings and nights. Guests generally enjoy evening drinks and a traditional South African braaivleis (barbecue) cooked over the open fire.  The camp is unfenced and at night it is asked that guests do not walk around camp without a guide.

Notten’s Bush Camp is a jewel within the heart of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve on the border of Kruger Park. Notten’s is an exclusive and private safari lodge personally run by the Notten family.  Notten’s Bush Camp’s accommodation consists of only 9 beautifully appointed suites with open plan bedroom, en-suite bathroom and cooled by a ceiling fan. All suites have both indoor and outdoor shower facilities.  All windows and sliding doors are fitted with screens and insect coils are provided. Each suite at Notten’s Bush Camp leads onto a private wooden deck with a beautiful view of the bush. A magical atmosphere is created with the purposeful absence of electric lighting; the ambient candlelight and lanterns capturing an enchanting spirit of romance.  Delicious meals by the fire are served around a communal table in the open-air boma and in the candlelit summer house on cooler evenings.

 

Ilala Lodge is situated close to the Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe as well as to the town center.  Wild animals are often seen grazing the hotel lawns as the National Park borders the front of the property.  Conveniently located, the central and extension wing rooms provide easy access to the restaurants, pool and adventure booking center.  There is an à la carte restaurant which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and offers a comprehensive wine list and cocktails.  Dining outside under the African night sky amidst the sound of the mighty waterfall makes for an unforgettable evening.
