Ultimate Africa consultants spend six to eight weeks each and every year in Africa inspecting the various safari lodges, hotels and camps; not only to insure that each property meets the high standards we demand for our clients (it is our policy to regularly, and personally, visit every property we recommend, and many others besides), but also because we love Africa and its wild areas. Managing director Ian Proctor has personally stayed at over 250 hotel / lodge / camp properties in east and southern Africa and inspected hundreds more!

Here is a sampling of east and southern Africa’s finest hotels, lodges and tented camps - properties we consider truly special and recommend to our clients. From traditional bush camps, to intimate lodges and exclusive hotels they represent the best Africa has to offer.

IMPORTANT: Most of the safari lodges and camps we recommend are small, exclusive and dearly sought after. To ensure availability we suggest planning and booking your travel arrangements at least 12 months in advance.
