I recently stayed at the 5 star Table Bay Hotel in the Victoria & Alfred waterfront with my husband and 2 children aged 4 … Continued

My favourite 5 star lodge in the Sabi Sands ! Loved the public areas as there are various places one can sit to view the game on the banks of the Sabi River.

Loved Arathusa with the open plan main/living area situated on the banks of a large waterhole. The standard rooms are nearest to the main lodge and also have better views on the waterhole than the luxury rooms that are really far walk away.

Ongava Lodge was one of the highlights of our trip with an excellent game experience. We were welcomed and offered a delicious lunch and cold welcome drink (very welcome as it was the hottest day of our trip).

Leopard Mountain Lodge offers friendly staff, good game and excellent value for money. It’s a great option if you are keen on having two diversa safari experiences without having to sell granny’s jewellery in order to do it!

Makakatana Bay Lodge has a completely different feel to most game lodges, hidden in the sand forest with open views onto Lake St Lucia. We love this lodge because of its homely romantic feel (especially in the honeymoon suite), it’s setting and its diverse range of activities.

Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge is a new private concession in the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Park in Kwa Zulu Natal. It’s great value for money with contemporary eco-friendly architecture and a breathtaking view over the park.

The Hide is looking great. It remains very much an authentic safari lodge but the tents are now very luxurious – spacious and well appointed. The Hide is very serious about its game-viewing and offers not two activities per day (as is the norm) but up to four activities. It has 3 professional fully qualified Zimbabwe guides.

In my first 24 hours in Malawi I couldn’t have experienced two more contrasting areas … at Chelinda Lodge on the windswept high mountainous plateau of the Nyika National Park and the sub-tropical paradise of northern Lake Malawi. The Nyika Plateau probably doesn’t fit anyone’s visual image of Malawi. It’s an area of high Afro-montane forest – pretty rare in Africa – with a landscape of rolling granite hills well over 2,200 metres in altitude,
