Best Hotels in South Africa
Safari lodges, Cape winelands, and ocean-view retreats
South Africa offers one of the world's most diverse hotel landscapes — a country where you can wake to lions on the Sabi Sand in the morning and dine in a Michelin-calibre restaurant in the Cape Winelands by evening. The private game lodges of Singita, &Beyond, and Royal Malewane have set the global standard for safari luxury, while the vineyard estates of Franschhoek and the clifftop hotels of the Cape Peninsula represent a completely different but equally extraordinary style of travel. These are the properties that make South Africa one of the world's essential destinations.
