Kleinzee Oceanfront Guesthouse
This was one of our best getaways without a doubt! Ilana’s love for creativity and excellence shines through making it a stay that you won’t want to end! It’s immaculately clean, private, tranquil and a well thought out space and energy with stunning views that rejuvenate your soul! To top it all, the team there are friendly and make you feel at home and special! A magical stay so close to the Klipgat cave!

She was awesome Called me Checked I didn't miss the turn bringing my biker buddies through soon

Rio Dos Elefantes River Camp
I stayed at Rio Dos Elephantes with 4 adults and 10 children. there was obviously plenty in the region to do being right next to Kruger Np but there was also plenty to keep us occupied at the camp. the sleeping facilities were large and comfortable, the Braai area was well appointed, the staff were all lovely, polite and helpful. there was lenty if wildlife visible from tue camp being right on the river and the guided tour was well worth the early morning as we saw a black Rhino and a Lion (there were elephants, hippos and giraffes galore. I would highly recommend Rio Dos Elwphantes to both family groups or couples as a fantastic and unique getaway.

Thuhlo Guesthouse - Bush veld villa getaway
This was an amazing stay and my family and I will cherish some amazing memories from here. Jacques and Jolande are excellent hosts. They were very welcoming, extremely helpful and gave us a lot of local recommendations to check out. They even made necessary arrangements like adding a single bed in our room for our kids upon request. Jolande also booked us for a safari in Pridelands (Greater Kruger). The safari guide came and fetched us from our lodge and dropped us back. This was an incredible experience. We got to see some amazing wildlife. The lodge was clean and as described. It’s very safe. It’s inside a wildlife estate and we were visited by nyalas, hornbills, bushbabies and other fauna. I had some amazing, scenic jogs with the wildlife on the estate. Can’t wait to come back again. Great place for kids too. There are some excellent restaurants just outside the estate as well. All attractions and experiences are just a short drive away. Highly recommended ❤️.

Xhabe Safari Lodge is overlooking Chobe River
Wonderful place, very clean with a fantastic view on Chobe river! King size beds are amazing as all the team working there. Very good breakfast, dinner and laundry service even if not pre booked. Thanks a lot! We needed all these things after a selfdriving in Moremi and before Vic falls.

Blue Gum Cottage - Likoma Island - Lake Malawi
This is the best airbnb i've ever stayed in. The cottage is beautiful, plus you get breakfast and a free transfer off the ferry to the hotel. Chef Chima is amazing and cooks whatever you want to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the place is well located on a street with markets. There is also always free tea and coffee on demand in the house and drinking water, couldn't fault a think and the service was superb. We booked 3 extra nights because qe loved it so much!

Karoo Retreat
Perfect postcard and not "only" a stop over night but a stunning and classy farm, full of charm and taste, not mentioning the kindness and care of Laura and of Jenny. The dinner was VIP and the breakfast too. The airbnb we want to see more! Highly recommended, zero default.

An amazing experience would have love to spend more time there especially over a weekend. Sandy is a really lovely lady and awesome host. If farm stay you like I would definitely recommend this place.

Beautiful lodge with very professional, accommodating and friendly staff. Was made to feel welcome and at home. Close proximity to Swakopmund and very quiet area for those wanting to stay outside of town. Would definitely recommend.

Gallery Inn 2 sleeper chalet
We had a good stay with a very comfortable bed. Also the nice swimming pool was a welcome sight

Witfontein Game Lodge Room 7
Had a great stay on Johandri’s farm. Only spent one night for a stopover, but the perfect place to rest after a long day on the road. Johandri was extremely helpful from the moment I made the booking until we departed early morning. The surroundings are beautiful, beds comfortable, kitchen and common area well equipped and the hosts were so welcoming - everything you need!

Turtle C Economy - Dbl + single, shared cold #12
This place is a great paradise for people looking for some time to rest. I had the best week there. I was supposed to stay 2 nights, I ended up falling in love with place, the people, the village, the sunsets, the roadrrips. I would definitely come back 🥰
