South Africa safari lodges & accommodation

Hotels and game lodges in South Africa are luxurious and comfortable, and have been chosen by Cox & Kings for their relaxing atmospheres, unique charm and opulent service.

Cape Town offers the famous Belmond Mount Nelson sitting at the foot of Table Mountain, or Cape Grace on its own private quay at the V&A waterfront.

Discover small, owner managed guesthouses and farms along the Garden Route which give a real feel for the country and its culture, and enable guests to meet the locals, or stay in elegant game lodges, some with their own plunge pools and views across the landscape.

Trains in South Africa

Rovos Rail, Shongololo Express and the Blue Train in South Africa both offer luxurious journeys in which to experience the country.
