The Africa collection

Luxury travel in Africa.

Staffed riads behind unmarked doors in the Marrakech medina, and a private island in the Seychelles. Every house in the collection links to partner rates and books with our trusted partners — and beyond our inventory, the Africa guide and FAQ set out how the rest of the continent works.

Where we hold houses

We hold houses in Morocco and the Seychelles. For safari regions and the rest of the continent, the destination guide is planning advice rather than a listing page — we say so plainly.

The best months to go

January to March
Ask each southern Africa camp directly about current game-viewing conditions in this window. Check current Marrakech forecasts for medina walking, and confirm current Seychelles sea and weather conditions with the property.
April to June
Check current Marrakech forecasts before booking this window. Ask East Africa camps directly about current rainfall and road conditions, and confirm current Seychelles sea conditions with the property.
July to September
Ask each East and southern Africa camp directly about current game-viewing conditions and its latest view on migration timing before booking. Check current Marrakech forecasts, and ask the riad whether it has a pool if heat is a concern.
October to December
Ask each safari camp directly about current conditions and availability for October. Check current Marrakech forecasts for November, and enquire with the Seychelles property as early as possible for December dates.

The places worth building a trip around

  • Marrakech

    Riads behind unmarked doors in the medina, the Atlas Mountains an hour away, and the best months either side of summer.

  • North Island, Seychelles

    A private island in the Indian Ocean with granite boulders and a handful of villas — ask the property directly for its current view on the calmest sea conditions.

  • The Masai Mara and Serengeti

    The great migration moves with the grass; ask the camp directly for its current view on crossing timing before booking.

  • The Okavango Delta, Botswana

    Water-based game viewing by mokoro — ask the camp directly for its current view on flood timing before booking.

  • Cape Town and the Winelands

    Table Mountain, Atlantic beaches and Stellenbosch vineyards — check current forecasts before booking a specific window.

  • Zanzibar

    The usual beach week after an East African safari; ask the property directly for its current view on the driest months.
