When should I go to Africa Hotels?
June–October – Best for safaris in East and Southern Africa, with dry weather and exceptional wildlife viewing.
July–September – Peak season for witnessing the Great Migration in Kenya's Maasai Mara.
November–March – Ideal for Southern Africa's Cape Winelands, Cape Town, and beach destinations such as Zanzibar.
What do I need to know for a trip to Africa Hotels?
Pack lightweight, neutral-colored clothing for safari activities, along with layers for cool early mornings and evenings.
Bring comfortable walking shoes, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellent, and binoculars for the best wildlife viewing experience.
Reserve luxury safari lodges, private guides, and internal flights well in advance, as many of Africa's premier properties have limited accommodations and fill quickly during peak season.
Review baggage restrictions for regional and bush flights, as many safari airlines have strict weight and luggage size limits and often require soft-sided bags.
Follow your guides' instructions during game drives and walking safaris, and always maintain a safe distance from wildlife.
Botswana's Savute region has long been associated with some of the world's greatest explorers, most famously David Livingstone. Come and unleash your inner explorer at Savute Elephant Lodge, where a spectacular new design immerses you in the untamed natural surroundings of the Savute region.
Each July, over a million wildebeest begin crossing the Mara River in one of the largest animal migrations on the planet. The best luxury hotels in Africa put you close enough to watch from a private vehicle, with guides who know which crossing points the herds favor and which mornings are worth the early departure.
The Masai Mara's luxury camps were designed with this migration in mind. You go out before dawn and again at dusk, while spending the hours in between relaxing on the property. The savanna is open enough to see for miles, and from a distance, the herds of wildebeest look like the savanna itself is moving.
Three thousand miles north, the temples around the Nile River were already there when Rome was founded. You can take a private cruise between Aswan and Luxor to see famous temples like Karnak and the Temple of Philae in the most stylish way possible.
A wildebeest crossing and a pharaoh’s temple are not the obvious pairing. But on a luxury Africa trip, they make complete sense.
