Accommodation In Africa
African Accommodation by Country and Destination
Uyaphi.com has been providing accommodation and travel across Africa since our birth in 1999 — 27 years of matching travellers with the right place to stay. We're dedicated to planning journeys that meet and comfortably surpass every expectation you arrive with.
We offer a wide and genuinely comprehensive portfolio of African accommodation: luxury safari lodges and intimate tented camps, beach resorts and island retreats, boutique hotels and grand colonial landmarks, charming guesthouses, bed and breakfasts, private villas and star beds beneath an open African sky. Our portfolio spans South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Zambia, Malawi, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia and Madagascar.
Every property in our portfolio has been chosen for a reason. We don't list places we wouldn't stay in ourselves, and our consultants know these lodges personally — not from a brochure, but from having walked the decks, met the guides and slept in the rooms. That's the difference between a directory and a genuine recommendation.
Uyaphi.com is your one-stop guide and reservations service for accommodation in Africa, and your bespoke agent for every African accommodation need. Booking your safari, holiday, tour or package has never been easier.
